Weekly Release Notes - 2024-06-18

Hello everyone,

We are excited to bring you another update packed with important bug fixes affecting participants! Our team has been hard at work addressing some of the issues you’ve reported. Here’s a breakdown of what’s new in this release:


:lady_beetle: Bug Fixes

Custom-app links on study registration page

We resolved an issue where the registration pages (like this one) on mobile devices referred the participants to the main Avicenna app in stores even if the study had dedicated custom apps. Now, the registration pages correctly direct participants to the study’s custom apps, if any.

Custom-app links in study invitation emails

Similar to the previous fix, we resolved an issue in the study invitation email templates where the app links were pointing to the main Avicenna app in stores instead of the study’s custom apps. Now, those links correctly direct participants to the dedicated custom apps, if any.

Resuming registration flow after installing the app

We ensured that logging into the mobile apps after installing them using the registration page automatically resumes the registration process within the app by remembering the study ID.

Opening public surveys on mobile devices

We addressed an issue where public surveys opened on mobile device browsers with an Avicenna app installed were being hijacked by the app but would not display anything. Now, respondents can open and submit public surveys in their device browsers without issues.

Missing verification alerts

We fixed an issue on the participant web app where email address and phone number verification alerts were not shown as steps for completing the study setup. Now, participants will see the corresponding alerts if the study requires those verifications.

Persistent permission alert for wearable data sources

We resolved an issue where granting permission to wearable data on the participant web app would not dismiss the corresponding alert. Now, the alert will disappear as expected after granting permission.

Missing grant/revoke options for wearables

We fixed an issue on the Data Sources page of the study where participants using the web app couldn’t grant or revoke permissions for wearables due to missing options. These options are now available as expected.
