Android beta 5.1

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi all

No clue why but Google has still not reviewed the latest beta version.
Guess they are a bit busy
Sorry, nothing I can do about it. I did email them asking for a status update.
More patience is required.

Cheers,
Corjan

Don't worry. We already know it's not your fault! Best regards!

Is there no other way to distribute the Beta version?

You can distribute builds to a set of known email addresses (aka 'Internal' app sharing), but it's only to a max of 20 people, or within a company, and we customers aren't part of MRA. Beyond that number you need to get Google's approval.

(The logic behind this is to stop 'bad actors' distributing dodgy apps. Google scan the apps for viruses, test the app actually does what it claims, uses the correct APIs, adheres to the various laws (usually age-related) in the countries it's going to be distributed in, that it isn't sexist, racist, etc.)

Beta version 5.1.0 - 458 is now available in Android PlayStore

@Guzzist oh really? That is amazing news!

On upgrading to 5.1 and logging in (on both devices I use) I had a 'Device limit reached' warning on both.

Having then checked by tapping 'My devices' status, it said 2 devices which is correct (and within the agreed limit), and the app then let me have access. That is quite confusing.

@richtea999 yes, it was a bit fiddling with unexpected restarts - but in the end, it worked

Just in time to be able to try it out on the third day of the Spanish Myroute-app meet!

As I've said; bad luck. I just arrived home again! But happy it's finally landed.
