Version 262.000

Faster, More Stable Apps
  • Rebuilt the flow that loads your site at launch for a more reliable start. App startup now behaves the same way on iOS and Android.
  • The app now waits up to 45 seconds for your site to load at launch. If it takes longer, the app moves on instead of leaving users waiting.
  • Removed a slowdown that was adding noticeable lag to app load on Android.
Overall Improvements
  • PDF screens now follow dark mode preferences, so they're easier on the eyes at night.
  • Text in the URL Management settings is now consistent and properly localized.
  • Uploading a file now works in your branded app's shared cookie browser.
  • Downloading a file from an external link now works in your branded app's shared cookie browser.
  • Tapping a deep link now opens the correct tab when the app launches from closed, matching how it already worked when the app was already open.
  • Embedded screen flows on linked Experience Cloud site pages no longer get cut off.
  • Fixed performance issues tied to the floating action button during app launch.

Version 260.010

Overall Improvements
  • Added support for enhanced CSRF tokens to improve authentication security.
