• Android version: Android 6

APR Release

April 26, 2024 COMING SOON

Android 4.5.0 (xxx), MAR Release

April 5, 2024 LATEST VERSION

What's new:

• A group of test users was specified in the Firebase environment that includes the emails of users, who will be notified when a new build is delivered. If you want to be informed about new app build, add your email to this group. The group is called “AutoAssignTestGroupDONOTDELETE”. ON-2654

• We improved behavior on a specific flow for partners using NETS payment provider. When the card was successfully added, the pop-up message that confirmed this did not close automatically. This pop-up is now automatically closed. ON-2559

• With a new 3rd party marketing consent we needed to adjust its pop-up to be optional for user instead of being mandatory. This was fixed now and it works as it was designed. ON-2647

Bug fixes:

• When using date of birth on registration forms, the date and time format used was converted in UTC which caused date being wrongly saved in Ocean. Now it saves it in the exact date format. ON-2697

• We had an issue with roaming sessions where it appeared that the session was ongoing but in reality, it was already seen as stopped in the Operator portal. Log out and log in from the application did not help, as the app still saw the session as ongoing and it was stopped automatically after a certain time had passed. The session is now forcefully stopped if such a scenario reappears. ON-2712

• There was an instance where the user received a new coupon upon registration through the push messages within the marketing module that caused a crash of the app. This was now resolved and the app no longer crashes. ON-2629

Android 4.4.0 (xxx) - FEB Release

February 22, 2024

What's new:

• New release versioning system to align both iOS and Android versions. Example:

  Open

  

• Added support for “Date of Birth” type input field on registration forms. ON-2476

• We have upgraded the eService SDK version to 2.1.5. ON-1948

• When a credit card was blacklisted (payment was not successfully processed with it) we now place a red exclamation point next to it in My Wallet view. ON-2445

• We have changed all orange alerts to red alerts to make it the same throughout the application. The desired goal was to have only one color for alerts. ON-2558

• Supported new option for external linking (using 3rd party website) for My Subscription. Subscription management can now be achieved using a 3rd party website (setup by EMSP) where contract type change is made using Ocean’s Urchin API. ON-2579
  Full description and documentation: https://etrelchargingsolutions.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/EO/pages/3889102849

• We've revamped the way you view push notifications from Ocean’s marketing module (technical and marketing notifications). Now, simply tap on a notification, and the app will open, displaying the entire notification for your convenience. ON-2336

Open

Push notification is displayed

 

Bug fixes:

• When paying unpaid invoice with the PayNow feature, the invoice status did not change accordingly sometimes. This was addressed and the status is correctly updated. ON-2411

• Warning from Google Play Console “Anomalous Permission Usage - android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO” is now fixed. This warning is no longer displayed. ON-2449

• The user is logged out of the application if an operator deletes the user from the operator portal. Previously the user was not logged out. ON-2462

• The consents and notifications menu did not save the toggle buttons correctly. This is now fixed and toggle switches stay in the state the user has set it. ON-2463

• When a roaming session was ongoing, the app could freeze. This is now fixed and navigation backwards works as it should. ON-2464

• There was an alert in the Crashlytics dashboard “com.google.crypto.tink.shaded.protobuf.InvaliudProtocolBufferException”. This did not cause the app to crash, but it was only detected by Crashlytics (no impact to users). This needs to be addressed from Google and once they address this, the alert will no longer be seen. ON-2473

• Users can now navigate between the Running session, Show pricing, and Home screen as expected. The home screen displays as it should. ON-2526

• It could happen that the wrong pin color and text were displayed for occupied chargers. This is now addressed and corrected. ON-2556

• When a local session was ongoing, the app could freeze when pressing the back key. This is now fixed and navigation backwards works as it should. ON-2569

• Show Pricing was displayed in the incorrect color when using dark theme. This was now addressed. ON-2572

• eService PSP & enabled 3DS: The charging session did not start even though the credit card was added. This is now resolved together with the upgrade of eService SDK. ON-2591

• When creating a new support ticket, the camera icon did not respond in some app versions. We fixed this. ON-1827

• When multiple users were signed in to the app on one device, it sometimes happened that the session was transferred from one user to another, meaning wallets were shared between users. This was now addressed and resolved. ON-2099

• When a user had less than 10 amount of one currency on their account and wanted to top up their account, the application crashed. The application no longer crashes and tops-up and shows the user correct balance on their account. ON-2109

• When a user dismissed adding a credit card, the application was not in the correct state. This was solved by returning the user to the correct flow of the application when adding a card was dismissed. ON-2147

• Limited requests to the BE when clicking on Pay Now button in invoices list and added a UI element to represent loading while waiting payment service window to initiate the session. ON-2294

• When tapping PayNow button the button is grayed out during processing the users request. When the payment is successfull, the status of the invoice changes to Paid, and the button text changes to download, which allows user to download the invoice. ON-2294

• Tapping the back button on a current roaming session now returns the user back to the home screen of the application and not leaving him looped. ON-2201
