Finally for Android charts using glyphs can be printed or saved as a PDF even though it worked find on iOS.

Note that I don’t actually program every line in Pro. It uses a cross-development framework. Since 2017 the cross-development was Xamarin which was mature and worked well. Microsoft bought Xamarin in 2016 and discontinued support for it in May 2024. MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) took it’s place but was far from mature. So many developers had to struggle to bring the Xamarin code to MAUI. For an app the size of Pro with over 30,000 lines ( of which I fortunately didn’t have to write all), rewriting it was highly impractical.

Using cross-platform I was able to produce the Android, iOS and Windows version with MAUI. Note that the Windows version is on the back-burner while I await for some support in MAUI for things like Maps and printing (no driver yet). But Windows users aren’t out much so you’re fine just using the Xamarin version which is still available on the Microsoft store. Just missing would be the alphabetical atlas search in the MAUI version with doesn’t require selecting the country first, just enter the first few characters of the location name.

For Apple the iPhone and iPad versions are available. I particularly like the way the iPad version turned out. BTW, it is landscape oriented because some iPad users prefer to use it that way otherwise the iPhone version (since around 2019) work on the iPad in portrait orientation. I am also planning to release a Mac Catalyst version too.

I apologize for the early buggy Android versions on MAUI. There was not much time between MAUI being up to running Pro and when Google would reject Xamarin versions. The deadline was last fall. It was also impossible due to time to set up a test group. With astrology programs you can just hire a test company, the testers wouldn’t have any idea of what they are looking at.
