X-Plane for Android - Nexus 7

[Recx]

When are the devs planning to release the next upgrade...its been over a year....and someone needs to let them know that there is serious competition out there now ...ie IF...also where can I get a scenery app for the major east coast airports that has accurate ILS and VOR approaches, etc ?

For Android, very likely never.

 

Laminar got sued by a patent troll for using a core license activation API provided by Google themselves, and Google refused to stand behind and support Laminar or any of the developers who were using the API on good faith.

 

The author of X-Plane, Austin Meyer, also released a product call XAvion, and he says this about its future plans (naturally assumed to apply to X-Plane on Android too):

 

"We have significant experience with iOS and Android operating system development and sales, and the frivolous patent-infringement lawsuits that are commonly filed against Android developers (including Laminar Research) amongst countless others. Our experience in these areas make it clear that we will NOT be developing for Android until the frivolous patent-infringement lawsuits that are so commonly filed against Android developers are dealt with by Google or by legislation"
