Such a nice post!! Since 2017-18, even I have had the desire to jump into Android Dev, I tried a couple of times, but it couldn't hold my attention for more than a couple of weeks. Also, I think doing Mobile/Desktop development in general is a pain in the ass, as the platforms are very fragmented and they would never arrive at a single platform due to corporate interests. Since working n the industry, I eventually found out that I had more inclination for Backend/Systems Engineering stuff and look forward to develop my skills in these domains.

Don't let this dissuade you too much from doing something you're interested in.

I've been a "sysadmin" for 20 years, and just recently released my first iOS and Android app using React Native. Highly recommend it for cross-platform and code sharing, and it was quite enjoyable to do.
