Supported Lottie features for iOS, Android, and the web

As we experienced a couple of chapters ago, Lottie does not support all features of Adobe AE. So, before we start creating our animations in AE, it is a good idea to have a look at the following tables if we want to avoid frustration and extra work. As we mentioned earlier, in this book, we are going to focus on iOS, Android, and web-supported features. However, you can check the following tables for supported features on Windows devices as well.

The simpler the better. It is good practice to keep our files tidy and create simple illustrations with single paths and fills. I recommend trying to avoid Boolean options directly in AE (we will see more about it in a minute), and the use of images, masks, and effects, as these features are not well supported on all devices. I also recommend creating animations that will work across all platforms and devices so that we don't need different .json files for each of them.
