Yeah, the chances of them getting any serious development going on beyond the basics is pretty low. Why would a developer add yet another platform to their workload? The ones that do double duty with iOS and Android both already complain about it being a pain in the ass.
You’d be dealing with a new market, so any dev is going to be sinking time and work on spec, hoping it’s going to have enough users to repay their work.
I can see the usual steaming services shrugging and adding the new platform in, but you’d need a hell of a lot more than that if they plan to switch the fire tablets away from an android base.
Even the firestick moving away from an android base is going to alienate a lot of users. That ability to sideload stuff is a bigger draw than I think amazon realizes not a majority, no; but a big enough niche matters.
Freudian slip or intentional? Either way, it’s perfect!
The platform is React Native.
Most programmers already know some JavaScript, even if they hate it.
The “basics” will be any full featured website. That is hardly adding to a workload. Not exactly a new platform.
