The Android app was taken over by Dribbble after initially being developed by an independent 3rd-party developer. Users opening the Dribbble app on Android or iOS will now see a message stating that the app is slated to be gotten rid of from the Google Play Store/App Store on November 15, 2020.
Dribbble is one of the premier locations for amateur and expert designers alike all over the world. The platform has been assisting link designers online considering that 2009, and it introduced its first Android app back in 2018. Unfortunately, it appears like that didnt go as well as the business hoped, because the app is due to be sunsetted from the Play Store later on this year.
The business hasnt provided a factor for the shutdown (though possibly a just recently hyped “something big in the works” is connected), however mobile apps can be hard to preserve, particularly provided the fact that there are thousands of devices to establish for on the Android side. With the current increase in PWAs, possibly this shutdown isnt as bad as it when wouldve been. Itll be fascinating to see how much of an impact this has on the Dribbble community of designers.
