Update 5.2.2 - Quick fix

[Corjan Meijerink]

Hi all!

We are quickly preparing a release of version 5.2.2.
Nothing exciting but quite important.

Due to long summer nights nobody in the Alpha / Beta group actually drove with the app at night time
Now that sun sets earlier and rises later a rather critical issue has surfaced.

When your map theme is set to automatic but it's night and you connect to CarPlay or Android Auto, there is a possibility everything gets stuck.

Workaround
Set map style to light or dark and reconnect to CarPlay / Android Auto.

Anything else?
No. It's a hotfix purely focussing on this issue. I've only incorporated some other small improvements based on some logs. No features or anything you will notice.

Expected release
Everybody say something nice to Google
We will do an Alpha test tonight and then submit to Beta + Release at the same time.

Cheers,
Corjan

I have seen the same without using Android Auto (driving often through tunnels). App (5.2.1) doesn't always recover from dark mode.

I basically drive with the day setting and that also into the night, for example in the tunnel the switching with automatic has bothered me a lot ...

Ich fahre grundsätzlich mit der Tag Einstellung und das auch in die Nacht hinein, zum Beispiel im Tunnel hat mich das Umschalten bei Automatik sehr gestört …

Well, that's your choice. For those that choose different options then update 5.2.2 should fix their issues.

Congrats to @corjan-meijerink for coming up with a fix in super quick time.

@Lluis-Arasanz hope is always a good thing but......... Meanwhile keep smiling

@Marinus-van-Deudekom

Yes, always a big smile on face. The life is too short to be angry

489 is out on iOS

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom it’s not. The beta is. This is a non beta channel let’s no confuse people.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink well to make that perfectly clear. I meant that the beta is out on iOS. I just reacted on your original post and to be honest I didn't think one moment that the post was not in the beta section

[TomOnTour]

I am a normal user (no beta) and have the 5.2.2 under ios for more than a week now, but it looks like that it is still not available under Android. Any idea wht I might make wrong, or ist it once again Google not processing the release requests?

[white.mouse]

Google is simply taking its time to publish it.
It is not yet available on Android in the beta group either.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

Normally it takes Google 14 days but I guess that since its such a big update (just kidding) it takes them even longer. In the end they will give in and publish the quick fix

[TomOnTour]

What is interesting for me is, that my company is publishing an APP under Android and iOS and both version will be submitted on the same day, the final difference when it will be available for our users is not more then 1 or 2 days. It looks like Goofle don't like GPS Apps

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@TomOnTour that might be the case since MRA is a serious danger for Apple's own maps app. I think its a simple branche protecting item.

@TomOnTour I like your (I presume) typo: Goofle, translated to German: Trottel
