The answer to that post is mine, and i confirm that there’s some delay on start but on a moto g 2014 that i have it is ~3 seconds which is not much. By comparison, Outlook takes more than 10 seconds to start on my iphone 5s..

That’s pretty crazy re outlook. Takes about half a second on my 11. Clearly mine is newer, but over an order of magnitude is a lot.

Tested right now: 8 seconds of a white screen, then the blue logo appears for 2 seconds, and finally, at second 10, mails start to appear..

That is why I always test my apps on older hardware.. That, and because i only have old devices.. :)

I noticed that if I quit the app via the usual mechanism, it takes less than a second to load. However if I fully power cycle the device it’s closer to 5 seconds.

Is this even allowed by Apple guidelines? Isn’t it the same rule that banned Flash?

As long as there is no downloading, side-loading or user editing of python code in the app then Apple doesn't care. There are limited exceptions for apps that teach programming, such as Pythonista.

There is a great disturbance in the Force --youngling Jedis are practicing their https://CircuitPython.org ways on https://circuitpython.org/board/particle_argon/ kits that have WiFi, BLE, NFC, TensorFlowLite local image/speech recognition and the ability to connect with all types and sizes of displays (ePaper to AMOLED, retinal projectors, touch, multitouch etc.) and interfaces to LTE (150/50Mbps) via https://www.df…

hah, my Karma literally went negative after that post on Friday (I don't post much so downvotes hurt) --probably wasn't the part about Python takin' over the game ;)
