🚨 Why Shuttle?
🗞️ Featured in Android Weekly #594 and Android Weekly #455, validated by the Android community twice.
You've seen this before. Maybe last week:
android.os.TransactionTooLargeException: data parcel size X bytesIt didn't show up in dev. It didn't show up in QA. It showed up at 2am, in production, for real users. Your Play Store rating took the hit before anyone on the team even knew.
So you triaged it. Filed the ticket. Wrote the fix. Reviewed the PR. Ran QA again. Cut the hotfix. And then you added it to the code review checklist, hoping the next engineer would catch it before it happened again.
They won't. Not reliably. You can't review your way out of a structural problem.
Shuttle provides a modern, guarded way to pass large Serializable objects with Intent objects or save them in Bundle objects to avoid app crashes. The crash class is structurally prevented, not governed against.
Why keep spending more time and money on governance through code reviews? Why not embrace the problem by providing a solution for it?
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
