Fixed: the watch app crashed the moment it reached the phone, on Apple Watch Series 8 and earlier, on the first two SE models and on the first Ultra. A millisecond timestamp overflowed a 32-bit number on those watches; Series 9, Ultra 2 and later count in 64 bits and were never affected. The fault was new in 2.2.2. Apple Watch, more reliable. A swipe from the wrist now always gets an answer back, the watch is answered straight after launch instead of waiting for a board to be opened, and it no longer sits showing a game that has already ended. A command that arrives too late to be meant is refused rather than applied, judged on the phone's own clock. Fixed: some phones were refused every game start with "WiFi Not Enabled or Connected" while sitting on a perfectly good network. The check looked for an interface by name and gave up when the phone did not use the expected one. New: long press Scan to return to the last game you linked to, without finding the Key QR code again. Resume now appears only after you have paused. Killing the app starts a new game instead of offering to resume the old one. Hardened: the control PIN is no longer handed to devices that were granted nothing. Clearer help. Sending a Key or Lock QR code is now described by what you do — bring up the share sheet — rather than by naming particular apps. The link behind the download QR code is now the permanent form, so it keeps working if the app is ever renamed. New: Rate this app, at the foot of the home screen. The store's own prompt appears rarely and cannot be asked for, so there is now a way to leave a review when you feel like it rather than when the app happens to ask. Clearer watch help. It now says what to set so the score stays on the watch face instead of being replaced by the clock — Always On and the Return to Clock delay on Apple Watch, and on Wear OS the one permission the watch needs to leave a game on screen.

Fixed: a Viewer tapping a live game could fail with "Failed to get TCP info from caster", because the Caster removed the very service the Viewer was about to read.

Maintenance release. The link behind the download QR code is now the permanent form, so the code keeps working even if the app is renamed later. Apple rewrites the readable part of a listing address on a rename, and the old one lasts only as long as the redirect behind it. Clearer help. Sending a Key or Lock QR code to another device is now described by what you actually do — bring up the share sheet — rather than by listing particular apps, which left out ways of sending it that work perfectly well. Scoring, the Apple Watch app, Lock and Key QR codes, and network detection are unchanged from 2.2.1.

Production release

Bug Fixes Watch UI enhancements Default Team Names change Game resume logic change

Now on Apple Watch. Install the ScoreControl watch app and change the score from your wrist — swipe up to add a point, down to take one away, left to undo. You can change exactly the teams your phone can: a team you don't hold is shown with a padlock. The app stays on your wrist, dimmed, instead of dropping back to the clock face. Put the phone away. Tap and hold both scores to lock the screen, then pocket the phone and work from your wrist. Bigger scores. The digits now fill their half of the screen instead of leaving an empty band underneath, in both portrait and landscape. The app name and the latency reading now share a line of their own along the bottom, clear of the score rather than sitting over it. Fixed: in the Score Control Request dialog the selected team was almost invisible, so it could look as though the other team had been chosen. Fixed: team names and location sometimes never reached an Android Remote, leaving it showing placeholders for the whole game.

Tapping a Caster that is still testing its network now runs that test and links you, instead of stopping on a blank screen. Those Casters show "Waiting for network test" in the list rather than a score that does not exist yet. Landscape: the QR button lines up with the team and location bar, and the drop-down title bar now covers that bar completely. Sending a Key QR Code as an image now includes the network it was published on and the Lock fingerprint, so it still makes sense away from the screen it came from.

Getting into a game is much simpler in this release. • Linking lives in one place. Tap Link on the score screen to reach the game list, scan a Key QR code, or pick a Caster already broadcasting. • Remotes go straight to the game list after you choose your role. • The Caster decides who controls what — grant a Remote one team, both, or neither, or deny it outright. • A Remote keeps showing the score when its Caster goes away, instead of dropping you out of the game. • Key QR codes can be sent as an image. Long press to share by Messages, AirDrop or Mail; the other device reads it with Photo. • Delete all keys is always on the list screen, so a clean start is one tap. • The network test runs itself and picks how devices talk. If WiFi won't cooperate, ScoreControl falls back to Bluetooth. • Separate Support and Feedback buttons, each to the right inbox. • Rewritten help: a step-by-step Quick Start, a plain explanation of Locks and Keys, and a guide to mounting devices courtside. • Many fixes to linking, reconnecting, and running several Remotes at once.
