The article explores different types of bad coding practices in mobile apps, known as Android code smells. Researchers studied how these code smells are introduced, evolve, and are removed in 324 apps. They found that these issues are not just caused by time pressure and are often fixed as a byproduct of regular maintenance, even when developers know about them.
