- Fixed crash reports — resolved two reported crash patterns: one that could occur when deleting match events, and another during automatic backup creation. These were caused by background data operations running on the wrong thread. (Thanks Mark H for the email that bought this to my attention) - Improved data safety — tightened Core Data concurrency across the app to prevent rare crashes during match scoring, settings changes, and backup/restore operations. - Updated for iOS 17.6 — raised the minimum iOS version from iOS 12 to 17.6 to align with Apple's current platform recommendations, security standards, and modern framework requirements. We know this affects users on older devices and we're sorry — we've held out as long as we could, but moving forward is necessary to keep the app secure and enable the features you've been asking for. - No changes to features or UI — everything works the same, just more reliably. Looking ahead — what's now possible with iOS 17: With this platform update we can finally replace ageing third-party dependencies with Apple's modern native frameworks: - Tips — migrating from the legacy EasyTipView library to Apple's built-in TipKit for richer, more reliable contextual guidance - Charts — moving from the external Charts library to Apple's native Swift Charts for smoother, more integrated statistics visualisations - Plus access to newer SwiftUI improvements and other iOS 17 framework enhancements that will make the app faster and more maintainable This will all help with the move and adoption of new iPhone devices and keep NetScore running well for many years to come. Thanks for using the app.

Update: Fixed issues around themes and navigation colours and icons. NetScore should handle themes a lot better now and offer a more consistent look and feel. Backup and Restore Update * Added a Backup and Restore option to settings that allows people to manually create a backup * Backups are store in the Documents folder and is accessible via the Files app on the phone. * 10 Backup limit, so not to fill the device storage * Automatically handling limits. If you create a backup and there are already 10, the oldest backup will be removed. * Restore a backup by tapping the backup name. * Automatic daily backups can be enabled. Each time the app loads a backup will be made. During that day if a match is scored and completed the daily backup is updated. * The backup list shows which backups are "Auto" daily backups and which are manual created. * Follows industry standards in terms of correct error handling, support for multi versions, support for checksums, support for app updates and backup migrations. Fixed: Navigation bar icons not appearing. Added backwards compatibility for iOS 18. Fixed: Setting the number of periods to 8 causes a crash when loading players for the 8th period. Fixed: Setting the number of periods to 8 then having a tied match leading for 2 more periods causes the app to crash. Fixed: Duplicate matches appearing in the Load Match list when editing saved matches Fixed: Match Date not loading correctly when loading saved matches Fixed: Navigation after saving a match for later now returns user to the main dashboard with a confirmation message. Fixed: Found a long running crash issue that wasn't happening that often but was showing up once every few weeks. When a match was created and saved and then loaded from the save there was a potential for the app to crash when it was deleting the match. This should not happen anymore. Fixed: Fixed a long running issue with dark themes which was causing text to not show in the pop up views.

We have been busy fixing bugs and making improvements based on your feedback. Never Lose Your Scores Again * We fixed a critical issue where match data could be lost if the app crashed or your phone died during a game (and a few other situations). Now all your goals, shots, and substitutions are saved instantly. No more lost matches. This bug has been around for a while and only just reported recently. Easier Player Substitutions * Made player changes easier to confirm. No more changes disappearing when you scroll. * Fixed the confirm button so it works properly during period breaks. * Added clear position labels (GK, GD, C, etc.) next to each player so you always know who is playing where. * Fixed a layout issue where the bottom players and Confirm button were getting cut off on some phones. Better Text Fields * Fixed a bug where text fields would change to weird colours when you tapped them to edit. Now they stay nice and readable at all themes. Player Stats Now Update Properly *Your Player Centre statistics now refresh correctly when you create new matches. No more showing zero matches when you have actually been busy scoring. Bug Fixes - Fixed player dropdown sometimes appearing underneath other buttons. - Various other small improvements to make your scoring experience smoother. Thanks for your patience and keep the feedback coming.

Bug Fix: Sorry, I found some issues with the themes not updating on some screens. This new update should fix that. Big Fix: A long standing bug from 2018 with the Odds and Evens not swapping correctly. Thanks to Miss Robyn for the review and bringing this to my attention! Note: The existing little "swap" button between the scores allows you to manually swap the centre pass as well. It's hard to believe, but NetScore was created back before iOS had many of the built in Navigation UI elements that it does now. This update brings us up to speed, leaving behind the legacy navigation and embracing the built in iOS Navigation. Gives us access to a lot of built in features that everyone takes for granted on iOS now. Major update to the Theme Picker! Strangely enough it seems that a lot of people never realised that NetScore has a bunch of themes! The Theme Picker now has its own screen (Settings -> Theme Selector). We've also updated themes in general to offer a bit more customisation and also 4 NEW themes! By default the app will now launch with the NEW NetScore Green theme. You might also notice some updated icons on the main menu. All part of making the app more welcoming and bring a bit of joy. I've expanded the testing behind the scenes which found a few long standing bugs which have been fixes. Also a few bugs that have been reported by users. Also a few user interface improvements including updating the icons used, added a new netball court graphic to the main menu screen, added a way to delete multiple items from the Results Centre (select all or select a few) and more. The next update will be around backing up your app data including full backup and restore. The idea is to then allow more people into the testing phase of development without any concerns about them loosing their data. Thanks for the continual support and suggestions.

This version is just adds an update to the Graphing package mainly to fix a few small issues. Stay tuned though, Exciting things are coming to NetScore! It now has a new home in Australia after originally being made in the UK. That's ok though because Australian's love their Netball as much as the UK does! Plans are in place for a major update which will include a new user interface and a few other features that will put it in a good place moving forward. Thanks for the continued support.

Just some bug fixes and minor improvements this time around.

This allows you to choose only from squad members rather than your entire player list. You can now pre-load players for a match either for the whole match, or with changes at each period start, so you don't have to do this during the match when you're busy. There is also an improved method of changing players during a match (for injury etc.) where you can see the whole team and change the necessary players, rather than showing each player individually.

Just some minor bug fixes this time around
