This week, James is joined by friend of the show Jon Douglas, Xamarin.Android Program Manager, who shows us how to super charge the startup time of Android applications with a brand new feature called Startup Tracing. Jon tells us what Startup Tracing is, how to use it, and how it can reduce app startup by up to 60%! *Show Links:* * [Xamarin.Android Release Notes](https://docs.microsoft.com/xamarin/android/release-notes/9/9.4?WT.mc_id=xamarin-ch9-jamont#app-startup-performance) * [Blog: Faster Startup Times with Startup Tracing](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/faster-startup-times-with-startup-tracing-on-android/?WT.mc_id=xamarin-ch9-jamont) * [Docs: Preparing an app for release](https://docs.microsoft.com/xamarin/android/deploy-test/release-prep?WT.mc_id=xamarin-ch9-jamont) * Find James on: [Twitter](http://twitter.com/jamesmontemagno), [GitHub](http://github.com/jamesmontemagno), [Blog](https://www.montemagno.com/), and his weekly podcast [Merge Conflict](http://www.mergeconflict.fm/). * [Follow @JamesMontemagno](https://twitter.com/jamesmontemagno) * Never Miss an Episode: [Follow @TheXamarinShow](https://twitter.com/thexamarinshow) *Useful Links:* * Learn more about [Xamarin](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/xamarin) * [Xamarin.Forms](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/xamarin/xamarin-forms?WT.mc_id=xamarin-c9-jamont) * [Cross-platform development](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/xamarin/cross-platform) * [Xamarin Developer Center](https://aka.ms/xamarin-ch9-docs) & [Blog](http://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin) * [Microsoft Learn Self-Guided Training](http://aka.ms/learn-xamarin) * [Create a Free Account (Azure)](https://aka.ms/c9-azurefree) * [Xamarin Developers YouTube Channel](null) * [Xamarin on Twitter](http://twitter.com/xamarinhq) #Xamarin #Android #Performance
