I think your concerns about lack of updates is something while it worries some, I find it nice when updates are released only when it's stable.
If you check the devs history they reviewed a pull on KISS launcher itself back in Nov
https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/2345#issuecomment-2496214318
and I like slow burner builds and especially when the devs make the app for themselves to use like this one ;)
I also don't mind slow updates in general, but when people are reporting issues and getting no response then that does put me off a bit.
It's a launcher, so regular updates are less important, but it does still concern me a bit.
Aye!
I think one of the most concerning things for me thou recently is Google Play just chucking off dev's apps from the Store because they don't update them at a rate of knots / some arbitrary thing that hasn't been disclosed to devs or left in a puddle of legalese in the TOS :/
I used to have a Play developer account and it felt like every month they would email me saying if I don't follow some action my apps would be removed. Sometimes it was based on some law change, but then they would just remove you in that jurisdiction. Many were much more arbitrary things. I have trouble remembering and don't use that account or email address anymore but it was things like setting an age rating or some new flag they introduced. If you didn't do it in a certain amount of time then your app got removed.
I don't remember one about updates but it wouldn't surprise me, otherwise it could just be one of many of their arbitrary requirements.
