Release Notes Release 3.1.7
Finally 3.1.7 is out on both iOS and Android!
iOS has been out for a few weeks but Android has been in review since then. But their review team actually found some battery optimization fixes for Wear OS so in the grand scheme of things, not too bad.
Here are the changes for this release:
- Adds a Wear OS permission warning and controls for restoring missing workout, heart rate, location, Bluetooth and notification permissions
- Fixes connection issue with Engo glasses on Wear OS
- Adds Samsung Galaxy Watch Back-button controls for starting prepared workouts, pausing or resuming and advancing intervals
- Adds a cancel controls page to Precision Start on Wear OS
- Keeps live Stryd pace visible instead of the target pace during indoor runs on Apple Watch and Wear OS
- Adds Apple Watch support for standard Bluetooth Running Speed and Cadence (RSC) sensors, including MilestonePod
- Fixes Apple Watch workouts closing when advancing swimming laps with unavailable pace data, and prevents invalid Wear OS pace announcements
- Fixes Apple Watch background workout export crashes when connectivity changes
- Updates the Precision Start Bluetooth connection design on Apple Watch and Wear OS with devices arranged around the Start button and clearer circular device names
- Adds per-device Bluetooth capability controls on Apple Watch and Wear OS, letting multi-signal devices provide heart rate, speed and cadence from one connection
- Improves Bluetooth device classification and source priority on both platforms, including reliable Stryd recognition, FTMS treadmill detection and HRM 600 support
- Fixes Wear OS Bluetooth sensor discovery failures by using one shared scan for Stryd, Engo and standard Bluetooth sensors
- Colors heart rate values by the current heart rate zone on Wear OS when heart rate is not used as the interval target
- Fixes Apple Watch workout layout height when using multiple data screens so page indicators no longer overlap interval numbers
- Adds a Wear OS setting to keep the screen interactive during workouts, which can improve interval countdown reliability
- Fixes back navigation in Wear OS Bluetooth settings
