Reported as "looks like a bunch of text links", with the honest caveat
of not knowing whether that is normal for Android. It is not, and it is
not the kit either: almost every action in the app was a bare
TextButton -- Back, Call, Safety number, Record a voice note, Mark all
read, Look up, Leave, Create group, and the four presence states -- all
the same undifferentiated orange text with nothing around it. That is
not an Android convention; it is the absence of one.
The kit ships three buttons, all 64 tall at radius 32 with a 14 medium
label: a filled primary, an outlined secondary, a grey tertiary. Plus a
small chip for something sitting in a row of its peers.
Presence was the worst of it -- four orange words that gave no sign of
being a single choice with one answer; the selected one was merely
bold. Chips now. Accepting a changed identity key is the most
consequential tap in the app and sat as matching orange text beside
"Show number", so the two read as interchangeable; it is an outlined
danger button now and the other is a chip.
Bar actions became glyphs in tappable circles with real accessibility
labels, rather than words. No icon set is pulled in for eight buttons.
Also in this pass: section headings shrank to 12sp labels and their
buttons moved into the app bar as icons. Two heading rows -- "Groups /
New" and "Contacts / Add" -- took the top third of a screen whose whole
content was two rows, and the kit's list has no headings at all.
iOS gets the same treatment: the tab bar is the kit's floating pill
rather than a TabView strip (PillTabBar records what the system bar was
doing for us that now has to be done by hand, including the one thing
that does not come back -- scroll-to-top), the list screen lost its
cards, and settings moved off .insetGrouped, which draws every section
as a floating card, onto plain rows separated by the kit's 16pt band.
