Working on an issue that prevented new users from opening the Recovery Birthdays app. Any issues please email me at recoverybirthdays@gmail.com

Attempting to resolve Widget issues. Due to iOS18 allowing users to "Limit" access to contacts and only expose the app to selected contacts, some functionality may be reduced. If you notice an issue or unexpected behaviour please let me know at recoverybirthdays@gmail.com

Minor bug fixes for widgets.

New in This Version is a bug fix for Apple Watch. There was a memory issue with some widgets on Apple Watch maybe due to the file size of images stored in core-data for a particular contact or for some other reason, the widget would not display. I have resolved this by only fetching required information when displaying the widget. If you have any issues you are experiencing, or any features you would like to see please contact me via email at recoverybirthdays@gmail.com.
