v9.41beta → Play (both 2-in-1 and Widget-only apps)
► 2-in-1 app phone component API26 update
Over 3 weeks of work on this update. Hopefully you don’t see any change.
This is a mandatory update to keep Bubble Clouds in the Play Store. I had to find workarounds for many of the things my app provides. Every single component of the app is affected. The rework has its advantages too: I think the battery/weather updates became much more reliable and wake the phone / watch even less than before. The mandatory notifications are a pain, but with the workarounds I hope they are now bearable. Let me know if not.
OREO NOTIFICATIONS
► Notification channel: “Status” for background tasks (watch+phone)
► New notification channel: “Troubleshoot problems” (Errors: email authentication, weather/sunset location)
► New notification channel: “Wear contacts call” (hangup call from watch even if it is not routed to the watch)
IMPROVEMENTS, OPTIMIZATION
► Improved phone/watch battery bubble update frequency/reliability
► Improved weather bubble update reliability
► Improved watch-phone connection reliability e.g. when opening settings app on the phone
► Phone app was still updating weather/battery and other info when live info was disabled for app drawer mode
► Reduced sunset/sunrise time update to 6 times a day (instead of every time the battery info was updated, unnecessary)
EMAIL
► Fixed sending email from watch (it used to always lose authentication)
► Email authentication request notification on phone
BUG FIXES
► Fixed serious issue introduced in v9.38 the new relink feature mixed up contacts during resync
SUMMARY PLUGIN v1.07
► Workaround for app-install monitoring for Bubble Cloud Widgets (so you wouldn’t need a constantly running background task)
► Fixed a bug which removed updated app bubbles from widgets
PREMIUM KEY APP v9.41
► Now also submitted to be available for the watch too (not yet used, but will be useful for standalone watch app users who purchased Key App to upgrade)
► Includes the workaround for monitoring app installs! (so you wouldn’t need a constantly running background task, and if you have the Premium Key app, you don’t need the Summary Plug-in either!)
► Fixed a bug which removed updated app bubbles from widgets
