DyskLink for Android 1.3.0

A big release for using two phones together. Every feature is off until the receiving phone allows it for that phone (it asks the first time), and you can turn each one off again on that phone's page. Both phones need 1.3.0. Update DyskLink for Mac to 1.3.0 too.

New between phones

• See and control another phone's screen: Android asks for permission each time, and the shared phone shows "Being viewed". Control needs a separate switch and Accessibility.
• Remote camera: live viewfinder, switch lens, torch, zoom, a 3 or 10 second timer, photos and short videos, saved on the camera phone and sent to you.
• Notifications and calls: see the other phone's notifications, reply, mark as read or dismiss them, and get incoming call alerts.
• Push-to-talk and speaker: hold to talk to the other phone, or play this phone's sound on it (Android 10 or later).
• Open on the other phone: send a link, map location or phone number; it opens only when tapped there.
• Music remote: play/pause, next, previous, volume and what's playing.
• Family monitor: low and full battery alerts, and today's screen time.
• Quiet mode: Silent, Vibrate or Do Not Disturb for 30 minutes, an hour or until 7:00, with Undo on the other phone.
• Locate: where the other phone is, with Open in Maps, plus Ring + flash.
• SMS through another phone: read and send texts with the other phone's SIM. Needs your fingerprint or PIN, is limited to 10 a minute, and the SIM phone logs and notifies every send.
• Move to a new phone: contacts, photos, videos and folders in one go, with pause, resume and progress.
• Photo backup to a phone: a phone can be a photo sync target like a Mac. New option for every target: only while charging.

Fixed

• Pairing is protected against flooding, and its key exchange now runs in constant time.
• Game keys from the Mac land in the right spot when a finger first touches down.
• Music buttons pressed quickly from another phone run in order.
• Windows/Linux app: typing from the phone no longer repeats text after a timeout, and the clipboard is always put back after pasting.

Updating: install over 1.2.x, 1.1.x or 1.0.0. Pairings stay. Pairing a new device needs 1.2.0 or later on both sides.

Requires Android 8 or later. Sound from this phone needs Android 10 or later.
