Beta Test Version 4.2.12

I have just submitted a beta test version of the Android App (V4.2.12) for Google’s review so it can be released on Play Store. The purpose of this is to point new users to the installation instructions on the web site as there have been some critical reviews on Play Store lately because people had assumed it would work with certain watches, so they had not read the web site first.

The only changes in this version relate to the ‘install watch app button’ (this is hidden unless you have the Pebble data source selected, as it crashes for some of the other data sources) and I have added a ‘Help’ and a ‘Troubleshooting’ button to the start-up screen so users have somewhere to go if the app hangs during start-up. I have also added similar menu items to the main screen menu.

So there should be no noticeable difference for existing users – the beta test is just to make sure that I have not broken anything by mistake so I expect it to be very short before I make this the main version.

If there are any issues, please let me know
Thanks, Graham

Important Information for Pebble Watch Users

Apologies to the (2?) Pebble Watch users, but V4.2.11 which is the version on Google Play Store crashes because of a security error when using the Pebble data source. The problem is additional security checks on Android 14, and we are forced to target Android 14 to be able to list the app on Play Store.

The issue appears to be in the Pebble library, not OpenSeizureDetector so this is unlikely to be fixed unless someone updates the Pebble library.

Version 4.2.10 is unaffected by this problem (because it targets Android 13), so if you are using a Pebble watch, please install V4.2.10 from our source code repository:

I would recommend that anyone still using a Pebble watch transitions to the low cost PineTime watch, which will be able to use the Machine Learning algorithm which I hope to introduce in the near future.
