There are also improvements to the way that alerts are displayed.

Release 4.0.0

This release enables the use of "Exposure Windows" in Exposure Notification risk scoring. This extends Bluetooth tracing support to iPhones on iOS 12.5, meaning that if you’re on an up-to-date iPhone 5S, 6, or 6 Plus, you can now turn on Bluetooth tracing in the app dashboard.

Version 3.0.3

This release gives users on iOS 12.5 an accurate representation of the current partial support for Bluetooth tracing - these devices do not support EN V1 and so will not check for exposures, but are able to exchange keys and upload them if necessary. Work on upgrading to EN V2 to fully support these devices is underway.

It also includes a change to the 'finish' button which dismisses the success screen after adding an entry, to reduce confusion about the function of this button.

This version has not been released to the Android Play Store.

Version 3.0.2

This version updates the version of the CovidGreen plugin for better background processing of exposure checking. It also includes some improvements to initiating and closing the camera on Android to address crashes and reports of camera usage in the background.

Release 3.0.1

This release contains the following updates:

• Fix logic errors during onboarding that was causing delays for device attestation on Android
• Prevent the camera from running when the scan tab is inactive to reduce battery consumption on some devices
• Show the splash screen when returning from suspended state on iOS
• Add additional analytics event for whether EN is enabled or not, and properly track EN activation during onboarding
