Hello Screen New Features

We’ve been adding new features to Hello Screens to make it more flexible and adjustable to each restaurant’s operations processes and provide a better experience to your staff at the restaurant/store. 

The following features are available out-of-the-box for your team members:

There’s a search bar at the top of Hello Screens to help the staff find orders based on the order ID or the customer’s name.

Team members can now manually update the status of an order. If there is a need to change an order’s state, the staff can use the “Update Order Status” option to move an order between states.

There’s also a set of optional features that you can now ask your account representative to enable them or shoot us an email at help@bluedot.io.

Now you can add custom states in Hello Screens to better fit the operations of your restaurant/store. This feature allows you to customize the order flow. 

Once a customer has arrived at the store, Hello Screens will keep track of the time from the moment of arrival to when the team member marks the order as Completed. Hello Screens will provide visual feedback to the team members to identify overdue orders.

Positive Feedback for Orders Completed On Time

When a team member completes an order within a short time, Hello Screens will display a modal recognizing a positive order completion time. You can configure the time bracket to show the positive feedback.

---

Release date December 23, 2021

Android SDK 15.4.0

Android 12 Compatibility

Android SDK 15.4.0 brings full compatibility with Android 12 / targetSdk 31.  When targeting Android 12, be aware that the Bluedot SDK requires precise location permission to be granted before starting the Geo-triggering or Tempo services.

• Fixed NullPointerException caused by missing appStateEntity during exit calculations when running Geo-triggering as a background service.
• Fixed SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException occurring on device restart.
• Fixed NullPointerException when accessing null LuFilter.
• Fixed HashMap ConcurrentModificationException.
• Fixed ArrayList ConcurrentModificationException.

What does it mean?

It means that with this version, we’re going to have the data to start providing more useful and insightful  information about the end-users journeys. The additional data will also help us to keep improving our SDK. 

What data are we collecting?

We’re collecting data exclusively related to the lifecycle of the SDK, such as:

• When the SDK is initiated.
• When the SDK is reset.
• When the Geo-triggering services start and stop.
• When SDK services are running as a foreground service.
• Android version information.

What comes next?

The Android SDK 15.4.0 release is a “stepping stone” that helps us continue releasing new features and products based on this data. Look forward to being able to visualise your user base with new data features coming out soon!

• Android SDK 15.4.0 requires the app to have a compileSdk of 31 or higher.
• This release removes Direct Boot support from the SDK and directBootAware=true from a receiver in the library manifest. This change does not affect the ability of the SDK to restart the app once the device has been unlocked post device restart.

What does it mean?

It means that with this version, we’re going to have the data to start providing more useful and insightful information about the end-users journeys. The additional data will also help us to keep improving our SDK.

What data are we collecting?

We’re collecting data exclusively to the lifecycle of the SDK, such as:

• When the SDK is initiated.
• When the SDK is reset.
• When the SDK is running with Blue Bar (iOS only).
• When the Geo-triggering services start and stop.
• The minimum Apple OS required for the app to run.
• More detailed information about the location permissions granted to the SDK.

What comes next?

The iOS SDK 15.6.0 release is a “stepping stone” that helps us continue releasing new features and products based on this data. Look forward to being able to visualise your user base with new data features coming out soon!

Point SDK for Android V15.0.0

Enhancements

Increased the Custom Event Metadata limit
We increased the limit so you can now attach up to 20 fields to each event. Use Custom Event Metadata to add additional information to Check-in and Check-out Notifications; this could be a Username, 3rd-party platform ID, or Order Number. Learn more about Custom Event Metadata here.

Android SDK migrated to AndroidX
Support libraries used by the SDK have been upgraded to AndroidX. This means all apps that have the SDK integrated must upgrade their Android support libraries to AndroidX.

Remove the StartJobIntentServiceReceiver entry in the SDK’s Android Manifest file
The SDK no longer uses the following Android manifest entry: <receiver android:name="au.com.bluedot.point.net.engine.StartJobIntentServiceReceiver"/>

Overhaul to the SDK’s events reporting
We have redesigned the Event reporting architecture, implementing a more efficient retry strategy in situations of network failure. We have also reduced the data packet size sent from the SDK to the Bluedot backend on each notification event. This has no impact on the SDK check-in and check-out callbacks and does not require any integration changes other than taking this SDK update.

New Point SDK dependency path
The SDK dependency path has changed from release 15.0.0 onwards. The PointSDK package paths have not changed, only the dependency. The app integrating our SDK does not need to change any imports in code. For all new Point SDK, versions use the following path:  'com.gitlab.bluedotio.android:point_sdk_android:Tag'
Example of V15.0.0, use:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.gitlab.bluedotio.android:point_sdk_android::15.0.0'
 }

API Deprecation

Please note, the ServiceManager.registerService() method has now been deprecated.

If you are still using this service, we suggest implementing the sendAuthenticationRequest method.

Point SDK for Android V14.0.0

Enhancements

Android 10 location permission changes incorporated
We have added the new background location permission ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION to the SDK’s Android Manifest file.
When requesting location permissions we recommend, the consuming app should explicitly request this permission which would prompt the user to provide “Allow all the time” access, otherwise, the user will only be prompted “Allow only while using the app” access.

Additional updates to the SDK’s manifest

• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has been removed.
• READ_PHONE_STATE permission has been removed.
• ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission has been removed.

Please note, as of this release we will no longer be providing the SDK as a standalone artifact to be downloaded from the website. Please consult the project setup documentation for how to integrate the SDK into your application.

Notes about iOS 13:

This SDK version will be compatible with iOS 13 and Bluedot recommends customers this to prepare their app for Apple’s public release in mid-late September. This version also supports Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.2.

Bluedot has developed this SDK in line with Apple’s ongoing beta releases of iOS 13.

Bluedot expects Apple to release a final iOS 13 beta in early September, before the official public release. As such, you can expect another SDK update shortly after the public release which will support Xcode 11, Swift 5 and any additional changes Apple may make.

Point SDK for iOS V1.13.3

Enhancements

This SDK release includes support for:

• Swift 4.2
• Xcode 10.2

Release date April 18, 2019

Point SDK for iOS V1.13.2

Enhancements

MRT Persistence:
Added in Minimum Retrigger Time (MRT) persistence when the user swipes app close to prevent unexpected re-triggers.

Updates to Enhanced app restart mode:
Increased reliability of check-in and check-out in Bludeot’s Enhanced app restart (i.e when the app is swipe closed or the device is restarted).
Note: In Bludeot’s Enhanced app restart, the MRT should be set to more than 2 hours (to avoid OS restrictions overlap).

Release date April 03, 2019

Point SDK for Android V1.13.2

Enhancements

Network communication improvements:
Improvement in network communication from the SDK to Bluedot backend (i.e trigger events, rule downloads).

 

Defect fixes

• Resolved a delay in event triggers being received on the backend (this is only relevant when the SDK is configured to allow the Android Location Foreground Notification).
• Fixed the issue preventing beacons re–triggering after an SDK rule download.
• Context changed to Application Context for registering & unregistering receivers to fix crashes in receivers.

Important notes:

When SDK v1.13.2 is installed devices running Android OS versions M and above the device’s native Alarm clock icon will appear in the status bar. We have reintroduced the use of AlarmManager again which was previously available in the v1.12.2  to improve trigger accuracy. This is a requirement from Android and related to the SDK use of the OS services AlarmManager and ALARM_SERVICE.

---

Release date January 30, 2019

Point SDK for iOS V1.13.1

Enhancements

Persistent InstallRef:
InstallRef is now persisted across the life of the SDK’s install on a specific device. Previously, the InstallRef would change if the SDK (i.e your app) was uninstalled and then reinstalled. If the Point SDK is installed twice on the same device, through two different apps, each installation would have its own unique InstallRef.

Defect fixes

Data Protection capability enabled:
If your app has iOS Data Protection capability enabled and you’re using Bludeot’s Enhanced app restart, the SDK will no longer crash after the phone has been restarted.

---

Release date January 23, 2019

Point SDK for Android V1.13.1

Enhancements

Enhancement in Beacon detection & triggering logic:
Improved the beacon detecting logic of the Point SDK. This will increase the trigger rate of beacons when the device is locked or when the app is in the background.

Defect fixes

Multiple Logout issue fixed:
Calling the Logout method mutiple times would result in multiple logout requests being received, which would eventually cause the SDK to crash. This is now fixed.

---

Release date December 06, 2018
