Update 5.0.4 - Minor improvements

[richtea999]

Processing for both app stores is not in MRA's control. Both stores insist on checking apps, both for unwanted features, but also for malicious code.

A lot of the checking is automated, but if a real QA person gets involved the time can stretch - up to 7 days is the guidance. For complex apps like MRA there are a lot of screens & functions to visit, so it's understandable. Apple used to be dreadful - now it's Google who are slow.

App developers can request that releases are expedited, but those requests are best saved for real emergency fixes - it's best not to 'cry wolf' too often!

@richtea999 No problem. I’m not crying
I just wanted to say that @Guzzist isn’t the only one still waiting for the release. My company also has a cross-platform app for our customer service, and we face the same issues: Sometimes it takes just an hour from submitting a new version to its release, and other times it takes several days.

Greetings,
Thomas

One question: do we know when version 5.1 will be released? I have a trip planned for the 25th of this month, and from what I've read, it has many improvements to CarPlay. Thanks.

@benet_73 Doubtful that 5.1 will be on general release by the 25th. It has to go through ALPHA and BETA testing first.
It be released when it’s ready.

I understand, I was just wondering if anyone knew. Congratulations on your work, I'll enjoy my trip and your app.

It is in BETA test now so public release should not be long.
