⭐️ Location Tracking – Foreground-Only Updates: When enabling location tracking, a new flag lets you control whether location updates are requested while the app is in the background, or only when the app is on-screen. You can use this to give drivers peace-of-mind that their location is only being shared while working a load or navigating.

⭐️ Faster Division Setup: We’ve significantly expanded our internal tools for setting up new divisions on existing accounts, and we’ve automated more of the process involved when creating new white-label apps. You can look forward to faster turnarounds on division and app setup requests from here on out.

🔧 Improved Geotab Errors: When you use our Geotab integration, we now log additional context in the Platform Dashboard Error Console for certain errors that can happen when a driver logs into Geotab through the Platform app. For example, if a driver’s license information doesn’t match what Geotab has previously stored, you’ll see a comparison of the mismatched information in the Error Console.

 ✅ As usual, this version of the Platform mobile app is designed to be backward-compatible with your existing web services and doesn’t require server changes prior to being deployed. If a future version introduces a backward-incompatible change, we’ll note that in this portion of the release notes.

🔧 In order to comply with the latest Google policy, our updated Android application will stop requesting the broadest possible background location tracking permission, and instead, use more specific permissions when needed for turn-by-turn navigation and load-based location tracking. Because of this policy change, you must deploy this version to the Play Store prior to Google’s deadline, March 29, 2021 to ensure your app remains available for download by new users.
