We are SOL until they update the plug-ins. Not sure why this wasn't ironed out months ago since I assume they would have been able to test in the beta environment. Hoping it comes soon because I've gotten used to the task changer and quick star features in particular. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for them to iron this out.

)agreed.
I mean, they have only so many resources available. I would much rather they push "pause" on Good Lock and focus on getting the core software correct, and then go back later and fix up Good Lock to be compatible.
The alternative would be to use resources to keep Good Lock up to date throughout the beta and final rollout periods, and risk not having the right resources on the job of making Android run correctly.
Or--now here's a thought--they could sell you Good Lock as an add-on; that would fund an independent team dedicated to Good Lock and keeping it always up to date...

Hahahaha, good one! You were joking, right?
We're talking about Samsung here, their resources are, for all practical purposes, limitless.
Doing that wouldn't get the OS out fast, they have to rush it out and then fix things later, if they ever get fixed. I forgot about good lock always not working after these updates, wish I would have remembered, I would have waited to update. There's nothing in this update I would be missing if I would have waited, I do miss good lock.

I agree about the update not offering much. The only thing I like is how it notifies me when an app grabs my location and asks if I want to allow all the time, never or only when using the app. I haven't been impressed with anything else on Android 10. It's not any smoother than Pie, nor does it offer any noticeable performance benefits.
I agree with the location choices now offered, which could have been added with a simple security update, but yes this was a rather weak OS update.
you're serious, aren't you? You honestly think that resources are limitless.
Wow.

As I said, for all practical purposes, as they relate to the subject at hand.
Do you honestly think that Samsung don't have the resources to develop something like good lock alongside an OS update?
Wow.
Resources are by definition limited, and the company allocates them according to the business needs.
Do you really think that Samsung cares about allocating resources to something as silly and inconsequential as Good Lock when they're in the middle of (a) developing Android 10 for their phones, and (b) creating the successor to the S10 family?
Wow.

Not having resources and not caring enough to allocate them aren't the same thing. And I guarantee that good lock isn't developed by the same team that work on system updates or design new phones lol.
I'll go out on a limb, this last update to Android 10 was a silly update. It really doesn't do much more then what we had and in the process it broke apps, even Samsung apps. As minor as Android 10 was for a update, they could have gotten at least Samsung's apps updated.
I'll go another step, why even bother with a OS update on older phones? Most updates just screw things up anyway. Look at the forums before this update and after this update, any update for that matter... Perfect phones post after post before update, after update, complaint after complaint. I went to the s10+ forums and the complaint after update posts are plentiful. Most people that care about these updates are getting new phones every 6 months to a year anyway, they can get their updated OS then, for the mass people, they don't even care about these updates, they don't live thru their phones. I'm betting tech support calls go thru the roof after every OS update.
It's still $$$.
Money is a resource--and by definition, resources are limited.
And spending money on Good Lock can wait. Trust me, that's what Samsung has decided--and I understand perfectly.

Oh, i agree that part of the reason it's delayed is because Samsung don't care about it all that much, i was never arguing that.
I was also never suggesting that Samsung has actually got unlimited resources, but that for the purpose we're discussing, the development of good lock, their resources are so vast that it would be essentially unnoticeable.
On that same note, my main point of contention was with your suggestion that good lock development could deplete Samsung's resources enough to delay Android 10. Which is frankly comical.
