starflight Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 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" http://xavion.com/app/future-plans/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
