v1.1.0

First release of the reorganised app. Everything the SDK documents can now be reached from the
interface, every documented function states its inputs and outputs, and a check in the build fails
when either of those stops being true.

Added

  • Release documentation: RELEASING.md (the gates, the signing story, the EAS profiles and the
    order to do them in), docs/PRIVACY.md (what leaves the device and what does not), and
    docs/store-listing.md (listing copy, the data-safety answers, and a justification for each
    permission the manifest asks for).
  • expo-asset, a required peer dependency of expo-audio that was missing. expo-doctor warned
    that the app may crash outside Expo Go without it, which is precisely the failure a release build
    would have shipped. All 21 doctor checks pass now.

Changed

  • eas.json uses appVersionSource: "local" and no longer auto-increments the production build.
    The repo rule is that every change bumps expo.android.versionCode by hand, so the checked-in
    value has to be the one that ships; with remote the two would have drifted apart silently.

Removed

  • android.permission.BODY_SENSORS from the manifest. It covers body-worn sensors such as a heart
    rate monitor; nothing here reads one, and the IMU, magnetometer, barometer and light sensor need
    no permission at all. Play treats it as sensitive, so asking for it would have meant declaring a
    capability the app does not have.

This is a source release. PixelKit is a template and a reference implementation, not a shipped app — there is no binary attached. Clone it, or use it as a template, and build it against your own Pixel: npm install then npx expo run:android with a development build. RELEASING.md covers the path if you ship an app of your own from it.

Requires a Google Pixel on Android 16 or later. Gemini Nano, HiLight and ultra-wideband need a Pixel 11 Pro; anything the device lacks reports itself unavailable rather than pretending.
