## Sessions

### Session 1: Building Chronos: A Smartwatch App
Speaker: Felix Biego

What happens when your smartwatch can do more - but the official app holds it back? In this talk, Felix shares the journey of building Chronos, an award-winning smartwatch companion app that empowers users with features the original apps left out.

From reverse-engineering BLE protocols to scaling through user feedback and global translations, this session explores the technical, design, and community-driven aspects of Chronos. You'll discover how to push the boundaries of wearable technology and create solutions that truly serve user needs.

### Session 2: Firebase App Distribution with GitHub Actions
Speaker: Blannon Ngoge

Delivering builds to testers and stakeholders shouldn't be a manual chore. In this talk, we'll explore how to automate your app distribution pipeline using Firebase App Distribution and GitHub Actions.

You'll learn how to securely upload builds to Firebase, notify testers automatically, manage environment secrets, and create custom workflows tailored to your team's needs. Say goodbye to manual build distribution and hello to seamless CI/CD workflows!

Come network with fellow Android and Kotlin developers, share experiences, and learn from industry experts. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting your journey, this meetup offers valuable insights for everyone.

Can't wait to see you there! 🚀
