🛠️ App Improvements
- Unveiled our new and improved login experience: Upgraded flow resolves captcha issues, improves multi-account handling, and remembers email IDs to speed up logins! 🚀🔑
- Released a complimenting onboarding experience, giving encouraging gems & guiding users through name customization, avatar setup, and enabling notifications ✨🎉
- Updated our login logic to be even simpler—removed the birthday picker and now you just input your age directly 🎂
- Stopped showing the old locked view for outdated clients. With the new login experience, we've eliminated the need for an update required screen 🔒
- Removed the "Rune Again" overlay now that our name transition has fully settled in ✨
- Enhanced the game lists with pull-to-refresh functionality across all variants 🕹️🔄

- Launched game comment translations, enabling everyone to automatically see all game comments in their own language 💬

🪲Bug Fixes
- Prevented a race condition: now if a user enters their age too quickly, the app handles auth preparation more smoothly to avoid error screens 🏁
- Fixed guest verification to work without restarts after incomplete email verifications and streamlined age confirmation flow to prevent back navigation errors.
- Removed a login issue by removing an unnecessary fallback that placed error and done handlers incorrectly, preventing uncaught errors.
- Tweaked the splash screen logic: It stays visible longer if the app isn't fully initialized and hides more aggressively once ready, reducing bugs!
- Updated logging to deprioritize uncompressed messages and ensure foreground activities are captured more effectively 📲🔍
- Updated localUser sync when app user changes, fixing a bug where display name and avatar updates weren’t immediately reflected. Now, they’re correct on next login 👤
- Caught and removed a potential source of network failures to reduce crashes and improve stability 🌐
- Implemented possible fixes for production crashes related to 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'nodes' of undefined' with defensive programming.
- Addressed log spam issues by fixing getLinkKey errors that occur when user share links are not yet populated upon login or logout 🔗
- Fixed a crash by ensuring navigation containers correctly reference existing routes, especially during login scenarios.
- Upgraded react-native-screens from 3.34.0 to 3.35.0 to address a known crash issue.
- Resolved an issue with images in our expo updates, allowing us to re-enable auto-updates for iOS 🍏
💻 SDK Improvements
- Introduced world time that syncs milliseconds since epoch across server and clients, making it possible for you all to build daily changes and seasonal events directly into your games!
- Improved the warning message for actions taken after game over within the SDK, enhancing clarity and guidance 🚨
- Updated the allowed package size for games, accommodating larger game files 📦
- Added the ability to playtest AI games directly in the SDK, complete with types for developers to specify image data for Open AI integration 🤖
