Classes don't expose static fields from interfaces

For the sake of this comment, let's scope it to productivity.\r\n\r\nLet me elaborate: I'm a .NET Developer with AngularJS 1 experience. At the moment evaluating available technologies for mobile development. As for test project I decided to create an app that has two screens which can read, send, receive sms and update the UI accordingly. Started out with the then-current 2.3 NS in VSCode + NS plugin. Decided to go with Angular 2 + TS template. Both were new to me. Crafted the UI for the first screen, that experience was great. Next step - send the sms. First attempt was to find an existing plugin for that, the one discovered was actually opening the sms app whereas I wanted to send the sms directly, thus had to implement the solution myself. That led me to my first NS plugin creation attempt which was recreated the very next day using NS plugin seed project as the base. All that is fine so far. Now I had the structure and needed to implement the Android specific logic and this is when I ran into the joys of working with ```any``` variables like ```android```. Because I was using TS I wanted to leverage the strongly typed objects which also help with intellisense. But I didn't have typings. Implementation became slow and frustrating: I was jumping around numerous NS plugins, samples and platform declaration files, saw people having exactly similar experiences. Eventually I got tired and did myself a favor: fired up Android Studio and recreated the current state of the application in there. You wonder whether I know where the documentation is, the answer is yes. Am I going to use notepad to work with it taking into account that there are much better free \"intellisensed\" alternatives, then answer is no. \r\n\r\nLong story short, I implemented, debugged and tested the rest of the native functionality in Android Studio, learned about certain internals simply by navigating to corresponding methods (which are heavily commented) directly from the IDE. Then after some trial and error ported that code to my NS app. Keep in mind - all that was a first time experience for me. Also ran into situation when android17.ts wasn't helpful, because the required API was in 19. Then 2.4 came along, I used the generator and got rid of the most ```any```s.\r\n\r\nThat NS app is almost complete, I put it aside after running into several other issues (most reported). Now have successfully recreated and completed the very same app using Xamarin Android. Next will need to check out the RN.\r\n\r\nAll in all, right at this moment as the person who is new to all these I will say it is much easier and much more productive to write\/debug\/test native code snippets using own IDEs and then port to NS. The mentioned future\/potential streamlining does have some serious competition, thus expectations.\r\n\r\nWill see in a year or two :)\r\n\r\nP.S.: as a side note, the further I proceed with the evaluation of available mobile development frameworks the more it feels like platform differences should actually be embraced rather than brought to the common denominator :)","issue_id":1662082218441,"origin_id":265874324,"user_origin_id":6025502,"create_time":1481235915,"update_time":1481235915,"id":1667423584013,"updated_at":"2022-11-02T21:13:04.013000Z","created_at":"2022-11-02T21:13:04.013000Z"}]
