MetroMaps 1.2.1 Release Notes

Version 1.2.1 focuses on performance, animation fluidity, and bringing the UX closer to a more accurate Windows Phone aesthetic.

🎞️ Fluid Motion & Animations

Standardized Easing: Harmonized all major screen transitions (Pivot, Search, Favorites) using a 400ms Cubic Ease Out curve for a more consistent, high-end feel.
Symmetric Pivot Transitions: Refined PivotScreen to enter and exit with matching speeds.
Jitter Elimination:
- Moved BottomSheet animations to run directly on the UI Thread, bypassing JS bridge delays.
- Refactored Pivot headers to use timing-based transitions, removing stutter during rapid swipes.
Scroll Optimization: Added offscreenPageLimit to tabbed views to pre-render adjacent content for stutter-free navigation.

Functional MPH Icon: The speed indicator in active navigation is now fully functional.
One-Tap Results: Optimized the search flow so results now open with a single click.
Full Search Results: Pressing "Enter" on a search now opens the full results screen, showing all matches at once.
Screen-Edge Clipping: Adjusted the Favorites header so text clips at the screen boundary rather than internal containers, recreating the authentic "oversized header" look.
Discrete Transitions: Switched pivot text color logic to discrete states, improving rendering performance across all devices.
Custom MetroSwitch: Replaced generic checkboxes in the Options Menu with custom Metro Style switch based on the metro css guidelines.
Hardware Integration: Improved the OptionsMenu to support native Android hardware back buttons and swipe-to-close gestures.

Header Memoization: Optimized the FavoritesSheet to prevent unnecessary re-renders during expansion/collapse.
Worklet Safety: Enhanced BottomSheet gesture handlers using shared values for state tracking to keep the interface responsive.
API Resilience: Improved error handling and data mapping for location services to ensure the UI stays updated even with partial data.
