Who all spotted bugs/gave detailed feedback without which this release wouldn’t have been what it is! Hope I haven’t missed anyone out.
Known bugs:
A couple of bugs crept in and a bug fix release is being certified at the moment.
Updating the app causes background task error: too many tasks
- Work around: un-install/re-install
- Fix: Already going through certification. v3
- Why did this happen? To get the speed boost I made significant changes to the way the app stored settings data. While I did regression test the upgrade path, another fix I implemented before publishing had the knock on effect of causing this error.
Latest news page wrongly shows latest sports news
- Workaround: Currently none available
- Fix: Already going through certification. v3
- Why did this happen? Developer error.
Wrong pictures displaying on articles
- Workaround: Currently none available
- Fix: Under investigation
- Why did this happen? Under investigation
No longer able to share via email or SMS
- Workaround: Currently none available
- Fix: Already going through certification. v3. This version will contain Share via sms/email in the app bar menu.
- Why did this happen? I’ve recently changed the app to use the integrated share picker. However, this is exclusively for social networks, which I didn’t realize at the time.
