v2.2.0 — Offline-first data, sign-in fixes, Account redesign

Magic Bill v2.2.0

Offline-first data (the big one)

• The app now keeps a local SQLite mirror of your bills, daily summaries, and expenses. Dashboards and reports work fully offline for any date range — last synced data is always on your phone.
• Syncs incrementally and automatically, including the moment internet connectivity returns.
• The phone retains ~92 days of bill history — more than the live backend keeps.

Sign-in & reliability

• Fixed the app getting permanently stuck on a blank screen after a failed login.
• New subscription gate: signed-up-but-not-subscribed users see a proper "No Active Subscription" screen with Subscribe / Refresh / Log out (with automatic re-check while a payment is activating).
• Accurate error messages mapped from the real cause (auth errors, timeouts, server errors, no internet).
• Startup can no longer hang or land on a blank screen; every state renders a real screen with recovery actions.

UI

• Reports no longer flicker/jump when switching Today / Yesterday / 7 days / This month — content swaps in place and glides to the top.
• Redesigned Account page: identity hero, friendly plan name (no more raw plan ids), POS license key masked with tap-to-reveal, theme toggle as a sun/moon header icon, compact device info.
• Back button: inner tabs return to the dashboard; double-press to exit.

Magic Bill v2.1.1

Signed release (cert SHA-256 8318c405…875f — installs over any prior build).

What's new

• Owners now have an Orders tab (teaser for mobile ordering).
• Staff reports: custom date ranges, CSV export, and an expenses view — each gated by the matching permission.
• Theme toggle for staff (Profile → Appearance).
• Plan & subscription is now visible to staff with the view plan status permission (read-only).
• Manage staff permission gives a trusted staff member a Staff management tab (they can't edit their own record or grant manage staff).
• Fixed: unreadable (black-on-navy) text in dark mode across the app.
• Fixed: content overlapping the status bar while scrolling (both themes).
• Fixed: light-theme status-bar icons, and they flip live with the theme.
• Restaurant-code field enforces XX-NNNN formatting with correct cursor placement.

What's new

• All-new design — modern open layout, smooth animations, floating navigation, animated revenue counters and charts
• 10x smaller — under 4 MB (was ~39 MB)
• Instant offline-first loading — every screen renders from cache immediately and refreshes silently; no spinners, no offline flashes
• New insights — peak hour, best day, compare vs previous period, GST at a glance
• Bill search & filters — find any bill by number, table or item; filter by payment mode
• Dark & light themes — dark by default, switchable in Account
• Staff experience — permission-shaped tabs, masked revenue mode, live permission updates
• In-app updates — with download progress; installs in place over v1.x (same signature)

Install

Download magic-bill.apk below. Existing v1.x installs update in place — no uninstall needed.

v1.0.2 — 3x smaller, faster, bug fixes

Much smaller, much faster

• 📦 3× smaller download: 38.7 MB (was 115 MB) — R8 optimization + built for modern 64-bit phones
• ⚡ Opens instantly: screens show your last data immediately and refresh in the background — no more long spinners, even offline
• ⏱️ Network calls now time out fast on poor connections instead of freezing the app
• 🐛 Fixed: "Add Staff" button collapsing into a square
• 🐛 Fixed: bottom tab labels and sheet buttons hidden behind Android's gesture bar
• 📱 Owner phones are now registered against the license (device id, model, last seen) — like the POS device binding
• ⚠️ Requires a 64-bit phone (virtually all Android phones from ~2018 onward). If you have a very old device, contact support.

v1.0.1 — Subscription management

Subscription management, right from your pocket

• Account tab now shows your full plan: price, billing interval, status, next billing date and days left
• "Manage Subscription" / "Switch Plan" / "Resubscribe" open magicbill.in in a secure in-app tab — you're signed in automatically, no password needed
• Payments work exactly like in your phone browser: UPI apps (GPay/PhonePe), cards with OTP — all supported
• Plan options are shown as cards (with features) when your subscription has lapsed
• New owners without a subscription get a friendly onboarding screen instead of an empty app
• Your plan status refreshes automatically the moment you return from checkout

v1.0.0 — Magic Bill Mobile

First release of the Magic Bill Android app 🎉

Two ways to sign in

• Staff: Restaurant Code + 4-digit PIN — access controlled entirely by the owner

Highlights

• Today's sales, 14-day trend, payment split, top items — with pull-to-refresh
• Date-range reports with item-wise sales, PDF & CSV export
• Bills rendered as thermal receipts, shareable as PDF
• Staff permissions: owner toggles exactly what each person sees, including hiding revenue amounts
• Works offline — last-synced data always available
• Light & dark themes
• Built-in auto-update: the app tells you when a new version is out
