Hello everyone,
We’re happy to announce another update in one of the hottest weeks of human history! This update includes many improvements and bug fixes. Our team has been working hard to address the issues you’ve reported and to make things better for you. Here’s a look at what’s included in this release:
Improvements
Instructions in GPS onboarding alerts on iOS
We’ve enhanced the alerts related to GPS and Location permissions/settings on the participant iOS app. The new instructions in these alerts are now clearer, making it easier for participants to understand and act accordingly.
Session UUID in the old format of survey response exports
We’ve improved the old format of survey response exports by adding session UUIDs, following requests from some of our researchers. To maintain compatibility for researchers relying on column order, this new column has been added at the end of the CSV file.
Service status under the Resource Hub
We’ve made it easier for researchers to check the operational status of our services. You can now see the Service Status link under the Resource Hub on your researcher dashboard.
Bug Fixes
GPS onboarding alert persistence on iOS
We’ve fixed a bug where the GPS onboarding alert in the iOS app did not automatically disappear after the user granted the necessary permissions until manually dismissed.
Unintended Motion & Fitness Activity permission prompt on iOS
We’ve fixed an issue where the iOS app prompted for Motion & Fitness Activity permissions upon launch if studies required sensor data like Pressure. This issue is related to iOS version 17.5 and later. Participants will no longer see this prompt unnecessarily.
Incorrect publish details for duplicated surveys
We’ve fixed a bug where duplicated surveys (using the new study duplication feature) had incorrect publish details. Now, the publish date will reflect the new study creation time, and the publisher will be the researcher who initiated the duplication.
Inconsistent naming of folders in the old export format
We’ve fixed a bug where folders and files inside the old format of survey response exports didn’t follow the new naming conventions. This fix ensures consistency with the intended format we introduced recently.
Export ID in the success dialog of data filtering exports
We’ve resolved an issue in the success dialog shown when initiating a data filtering export, which was displaying an incorrect ID for the new export. This fix ensures consistency with the list of exports on the Data Export page.
Page crash on submitting surveys with single-answer questions
We’ve fixed a bug causing the page on the participant web app to crash when participants submitted a survey with responses to image-based single-answer questions.
Images failing to load in multiple-answer questions
We’ve fixed a bug where images for multiple-answer survey questions failed to load in the survey editor (both the Content tab and the Preview) and the participant web app.
