So many frustrations here:
- most web pages of developer.tizen.org will not open in current locale (English in California) on my iPhone. Many pages open in Korean language by default and there is no freaking way to change to english except to go at top of Safari browser and change it manually. Being the biggest competitor of Apple, I guess Samsung should make all it's websites and especially dev support web contents easily available on iPhone. And the problem is not restricted to iPhone Safari only. Pretty much the case with Sierra safari. Frustrating experience.
- Many pages are outdated and give 404 (with error message in Korean - like what???)
- English used in the actual documentations can be interpreted in different ways so trying the code is the only ultimate answer == Waste of time to know what can and cant be done with a given api. Example -> Alarm APIs. No mention in documentation that it will give error NOT_SUPPROTED and when I run a 2.3sdk-compiled project on z2 -> surprise. Undocumented error pops up. Then I need to go to source code of tizen and go through implementation to find out what really happens. Why should an app developer worry about implementation and refer to code all the time? It wastes lot of time - time that i could have spent in writing my UI (which hopefully will enlighten one day)
- Compare this with UIKit or WKWebView documentation of Apple. Nicely done, and most of the time it will help you understand what a given API does.
- And why the hell the z1/z2 and z3 devices are so EXPENSIVE??? $200 for a goddamned z2. Like make some devices available in USA where you have second highest number of developers after India.
Alright enough rants and thanks for listening for my rant. But I hope your support will pass on this message to engineering and documentation team and take the feedback in good spirits.
