Video is some of the fastest growing content on mobile networks and the appetite for video only gets bigger. However, streaming video is complicated and if done poorly, it usually leads to a bad user experience. Learn about how ABS can help improve it.

On October 21st & 22nd, the 2016 Big Android BBQ (BABBQ) was held in Hurst, Texas.

We are in the midst of a highly-contested 2016 presidential race here in the U.S. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are drumming up support for their cause in any way they can, and everywhere they go, smartphones follow. Both campaigns have mobile apps: Hillary 2016 and America First. My team at AT&T has built the Application Resource Optimizer (ARO), a free tool for testing your application for data usage, battery drain, and other performance issues. With this in mind, I thought it might be a fun exercise to look at how the apps of the top presidential candidates behave, and if there is room for improvement.

We are extremely excited to announce the release of the Application Resource Optimizer (ARO) version 5.1. ARO 5.1 has a number of great new innovations and tools that will make understanding your mobile application’s performance easier.

HTTP is the framework that the web (and networked mobile apps) is built on. Nearly every file delivered on the web and in mobile applications uses HTTP for the transport. However, data sent via HTTP is not sent securely, meaning that if it is intercepted, it can be read by anyone. This best practice looks at the benefits of using HTTPS, a highly-secure version of HTTP, to help prevent intercepted data from being read.

The ARO team has been working hard to release the 5.0 Beta version of the AT&T Application Resource Optimizer (ARO). Get a preview of what to expect in the next version.
