Known Issues

Rescheduling broken after Update from 1.5 to 1.6

Affected: Android 14 Devices with running study, which didn't grant app whitelisting (recommended setting)

Problem: When updating from the current release to the latest beta or release version, the devices no longer automatically guarantee the "Schedule Exact Alarm" Permission if the optional whitelisting is not switched on beforehand (was recommended). As a result, the study will no longer be scheduled correctly and accurately, which will lead to inexact study execution.

Solution: After updating the app, there is a notification every 5 minutes that permissions are missing as well as a banner indicating this. Errors are also logged and attempts are made to contact the customers concerned. As soon as the permissions have been granted, the study returns to normal execution.

Banner	Notification

App crashes after update

Affected: Android 14 QPR Beta Devices with running study, which didn't grant whitelisting (recommended setting)

Problem: When updating from the current release to the latest beta or release version in the background, foreground service can not be started.

Solution: Check study running notification and if not present, restart the app and try to allow all permissions. Should return to normal after all permissions were given.
