These libraries are essential to the Android app development ecosystem as they often provide vital functionality that would take significant development time to implement otherwise. Researchers have mainly studied the prevalence and updates of third-party libraries in Android apps. However, no prior work investigates the adoption percentages of third-party libraries in apps and how they evolve. It remains unknown whether there are any patterns in third-party libraries' adoption percentages in Android apps. In this study, we empirically investigate the adoption of third-party libraries in 2,997 open-source Android apps over a six-year study period (2015–2020). We collected 39,882 commits from repositories hosting the target apps, and identified all changes to the adoption percentages of third-party libraries in each app. We then calculated the adoption percentage of each library in each app over specific time periods. Using the collected data, we report adoption statistics of popular libraries, propose a new taxonomy to characterize their evolutionary patterns, investigate the adoption percentages of third-party libraries across different app categories, and explore the groups of libraries that have similar release patterns and version-level adoption patterns. Our findings provide insight on third-party library adoption in open-source Android apps and thus might help researchers create tools to improve the library adoption in mobile apps.","PeriodicalId":408284,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 9th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MobileSoft)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128213218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional methods used in performance analysis rely on extensive data collection and profiling, which often takes days. For large organizations utilizing Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD), these traditional techniques often fail to provide timely and actionable data. A different impact analysis method that allows for more efficient detection of performance regressions is needed. We propose the utilization of user mode memory allocator churn as a novel approach to performance engineering. User mode allocator churn acts as a proxy metric to evaluate the relative change in the cost of specific tasks. We prototyped the memory allocation churn methodology while engaged in performance engineering for an iOS version of application X. We find that calculating and analyzing memory allocator churn (a) results in deterministic measurements, (b) is efficient for determining the presence of both individual performance regressions and general performance-related trends, and (c) is a suitable alternative to measuring the task completion time.","PeriodicalId":408284,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 9th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MobileSoft)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114541038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we seek to develop an understanding of how the dynamic trajectory of a pandemic shapes mobile phone users' experiences. Through the lens of app popularity, we approach this goal from a cross-country perspective. We compile a dataset consisting of six-month daily snapshots of the most popular apps in the iOS App Store in China and the US, where the pandemic has exhibited distinct trajectories. Using this longitudinal dataset, our analysis provides detailed patterns of app ranking during the pandemic at both category and individual app levels. We reveal that app categories' rankings are correlated with the pandemic, contingent upon country-specific development trajectories. Our work offers rich insights into how the COVID-19, a typical global public health crisis, has influence people's day-to-day interaction with the Internet and mobile technologies.","PeriodicalId":408284,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE/ACM 9th International Conference on Mobile Software Engineering and Systems (MobileSoft)","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122745918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
