Locale X Public Beta 10.0.295
Locale X is a major new version. For all of the new features in Locale X, please see the Locale X release announcement. 10.0.295 is a minor update with the following improvements:
Improved compatibility with Android 10 and higher
- Short version: Install the free Locale X Wi-Fi Helper for Android 10 and above to enable toggling Wi-Fi. Locale X will provide an in-app prompt if the helper is missing.
- Long version: Android 10 and later prevent apps from changing Wi-Fi. To work around this limitation, Locale X has been running in a backwards compatibility mode. Google will prevent app developers from releasing app updates with backwards compatibility mode starting November 1. In preparation for this, Locale X now uses the Locale X Wi-Fi Helper app which is a free download. The helper can continue running in backwards compatibility mode (without being updated), while allowing Locale X to continue being updated after November 1. Without the helper, Locale X will keep toggling Wi-Fi for a few more weeks but we recommend installing it now so that we can test this integration.
Improved compatibility with Android 11
- Workaround for compiler issue preventing app installation on Android 11
- Fixed crash during app launch on Android 11
Fixed crash if no contact is chosen in the SMS setting
Fixed non-English translation error in the help dialog for the situation templates
Note: As a normal part of our release process to ensure high quality, updates to Locale X roll out in phases over about a 2 week period. Due to the pandemic, Google Play is additionally experiencing delays in approving app releases of more than 1 week. For these reasons, it may take several weeks before a specific update becomes visible to you.
