Apps2Samsung 3.1
The first update after 3.0: a fix for the Android app hanging at launch on some phones, a better update flow and sorting in On the TV, and clearer messages when arming TV-Store.
✨ Highlights
🤖 Android: no more hang at launch
On phones with animations switched off (Developer options › Animator duration scale, or Samsung's "Remove animations"), every 3.x build froze within seconds and Android reported "Apps2Samsung isn't responding". The TV card's busy light was the cause: with animations off, each fade finished instantly and the pulse loop never let go of the screen. It now keeps its rhythm whether or not the phone animates. (#899)
🔄 On the TV: Update opens the app
Update on an installed app now opens that app's sheet, with Update on {TV} as the button and the version the TV runs underneath. Before, it only switched to the Install tab, and on Android the request got lost on the way. Installed apps that are in the catalog get a View in catalog row. (#888)
↕️ On the TV: sort it your way
Sort by Size, Name or Newest installed from the ⋯ menu, on Android, iPhone and desktop. Apps with an update available always come first, whichever order you pick, and the choice is remembered. (#888)
📺 Arm TV-Store: honest messages
When the TV can't be reached while arming, Apps2Samsung now says so and points at Developer Mode, instead of claiming TV-Store isn't installed and sending you to the catalog. A TV that still has the old TV-Store from before 0.3.5 is told to update it. The arming texts now spell out the Host PC IP order: this device's IP while arming, then the TV's own address. (#889)
