10.2 19/07/2023
This release requires iOS 14 or above - this is due to the updated Audio capability in this version.
Audio Recording
To improve user experience and support advanced scripting (audio specific) there have been a number of changes in the manner in which audio recordings are managed.
The key changes are:
• Audio recording stopped automatically
o During a recording, if there is an interrupt to the audio system (where mic and/or speaker are engaged), then the recording will be stopped, the audio recording will be
automatically saved, and the user informed via a prompt. Example of this is user receiving a Teams call on their device whilst audio recording is in progress.
o With a recording in progress, if a user force closes the app, the app will attempt to recover the audio back into its form data.
For this reason, we recommend not terminating the app from memory during a recording, as we cannot recover every recording under these circumstances.
• Audio Recording managed by user
o With a recording in progress, if the user attempts to open another form or template, the user will be prompted to save the current audio recording
or continue with the current form.
• Updated Audio Capability
This version utilises the latest audio component available in iOS14
General bug fix release

• Users on iOS16 devices being logged out when switching between windows/apps

Attempting to resubmit resulted in error code 27.
• In a small number of cases, users were unable to login to the device due to syncing problems. The app was crashing as a result.

9.5 29/06/2022
This release improves the manner in which audio recordings are managed.
Previously, audio files were saved when recording was ended. In cases there was a crash of the app or user force closed the app, any recording underway would potentially be lost.
Audio files are now saved every 10 seconds, so should the app close whilst recording is in progress, the audio can be recovered. This means that should the app close, up to 10 seconds of audio recording could be lost and if this is within the first 10 seconds of an audio recording starting, that the total audio recording will be lost.
Known issue: in cases where the app closes during recording, the UI will show a duration of 00:00:00 . This is incorrect - the audio is available. This will be addressed in a future release.
