App update — Core 1.3.16: Fluent Community 2.10 support, Space Pages, and new refresh scenes

Core 1.3.16 is out, with the companion plugin at the same version. It brings the app up to date with Fluent Community 2.10, adds two new pull-to-refresh scenes, and fixes a long list of things so the app says what's really going on.

Fluent Community 2.10 support

• Space Pages open in the app (Fluent Community Pro). Pages a space adds on the website (an about page, guidelines, a resource list) show up in the space's menu and open on their own screen, with comments where the page allows them. FluentPlayer videos on a page play right in the app. Space admins get a Manage Pages link that opens Fluent Community's page editor on the web.
• Tapping a push marks it read, the same way Fluent Community's own web push now does.
• New-lesson pushes use 2.10's new lesson-published event, so enrolled members hear about a lesson the moment it goes live.
• Flagged-content pushes reach moderators. That was the one Fluent Community notification the app never pushed.
• Upgrade Fluent Community and Fluent Community Pro to 2.10.01 together. Both need the other at 2.10.01, there's no database migration, and it closes four security holes in 2.9.1.

For members

• Two new pull-to-refresh scenes. An open ocean and the northern lights over a still lake. Pull gently for a calm sea, pull hard for a storm. Pick one in Settings; Reduce Motion still turns them off.
• The app tells you why. When something won't load, it now says so in your language (offline, timed out) and offers Try again, instead of an empty screen or an English error.
• Notifications go where they should. Tapping a push opens the screen it was sent for. "Mark all read" matches the badge, and the icon badge only ever shows a real count.
• Signing out keeps your settings. App Lock, feed layout, appearance and your refresh scene all stay put.
• Profiles fill in. Bios and websites now show when you view another member.
• Faster lessons. Videos in a lesson or post wait for a tap before loading, so pages with several videos open quickly.
• Plus fixes for the keyboard covering fields, custom link icons being lost on save, and spaces missing from the space picker.

For site owners (WP Admin)

• Sign-in is safer. Two-factor codes can't be guessed offline any more, forgot-password no longer reveals whether an email has an account, and an imported settings backup is checked like a live save.
• Push switches tidied. Group chats get their own switch, and moderator-only switches only show to moderators.
• Lesson and Space Page notifications open the lesson or page, not "Post not found". Course, quiz and invitation pushes open something useful too.
• Signing out stops that phone's pushes.
• Changing plans no longer bounces members out of their spaces, and a member with two purchases keeps what the remaining one pays for.
• Google Play: the Google tab now checks whether Play is really connected and names the fix if it isn't, shows whether the last notification was signed by Google, and accepts notifications from authenticated Pub/Sub subscriptions.

If you build your own app

This release needs a new build: Expo SDK 57 patches (expo 57.0.22), expo-iap 5.6.0 for IAP apps, and Android builds no longer ask Google Play for photo and video access, so no more policy declaration. In the dashboard:

• In-app products on Google Play sell in every country, priced in local currency with your base price kept to match the App Store.
• The in-app purchase card reads Google Play too, including the Payments profile only the account owner can set up.
• The store's What's New box fills itself with this version's notes and clears for the next.
• Publishing names the Play track an upload lands on, with a one-press switch back to production.
• Store screenshot captions survive a replace across languages.

Our own app is live on the App Store and Google Play now. If you build your own, it arrives with your next store update. The companion plugin is ready now on your Plugins screen.
