Update on Android and IOS release

Hello Everyone,
We have never ceased working on the Beaconeer™
 version for iPhone Users. We never thought it would take this long, but Apple's Developer, Test Flight, and Release process is a behemoth, compared to Google Play and Amazon!

By the way,  Google Play changed their SMS permissions protocol and disabled the "Beacon List" behavior! That was the code that  enabled  automated group texting / GPS feature in the Android version!

Update: as of 7/26/2019, the automated group/text/GPS behavior has been restored. Yeahh!!!

WANTED...Beta-testers for Beaconeer™Lite GPS accuracy!

Image
  Hi There!  We are seeking volunteer *TestFlight beta-testers, 18 yrs +, to test the GPS functionality of our Beaconeer™Lite app on your iPhone. As the app developers, we want to make sure that the Beaconeer™Lite app will generate reliable Longitude, Latitude, and Vicinity address information, when initiated by the app user. This beta-test is fun and easy-peasy! If you are interested in learning to develop iPhone apps that can make a positive difference and earn revenue, this volunteer opportunity is for YOU!  Learn to test iPhone apps first! Add "iPhone Test Flight Beta-Tester" to your resume! Before you test the Beaconeer™Lite Build Version #202111489, a few facts about GPS and Smartphones: Exact "pin-point" address" GPS accuracy is not guaranteed with most Smartphones. Per GPS.gov , even under the best conditions, typical Smartphone GPS (Latitude, Longitude) may be accurate within a 16 foot radius. Therefore, our claim for the Beaconeer™Lite app is that GP...

Exciting Update! New App project

Image
Exciting Update! Back on 5/10 We posted a " wrap-up" update for the Beaconeer™Lite and informed you that we had moved on to new project. Actually we revisited an earlier app project begun in 2016 called “ TPEP Eclipse 2017 and Beyond ”, an Android app with 40 words in English and Spanish, relating to Eclipses and other Astronomical objects. The goal was to use this app as a “template” for future apps, to encourage A+ English Competency, Bilingual Proficiency, and Civic Engagement. However, at that time in 2016/2017, there was no cross-platform coding tool, accessible to youth learning, that enabled us to create the iPhone counterpart. All of that changed in 2020 with the availability of Thunkable X. So, here we are, just three weeks later! Not only did we complete an updated 2024 Android version, to be uploaded soon to Google Play, we have completed the iPhone version also. We submitted the IOS version GAE2024Beta2 to App Store on 5/28 at 2:35, and by 5:53, the same day, we ...

5/10/2021 Update on beta-testing Beaconeer™Lite

Image
  Hi Everyone!   We thank you all for testing the Beaconeer™Lite app. Your participation helped us to establish code integrity of our app. There were no legitimate crashes due to code errors. (The one "white screen" crash was actually related to the Test Flight   app, not Beaconeer ™ Lite ).  We also received feedback that our GPS accuracy within a radius of 16ft to 105ft at ground level , was acceptable to users from both the general public and emergency response professionals.   However, we ran into a snag.  iPhone 8’s are unable to send an SMS (consisting of text message and GPS location) to Android phones. We are still trying to determine if this is an iPhone 8 settings issue or Phone Service Carrier issue, i.e. AT&T vs T-Mobile/Sprint. Therefore we will continue Test Flight beta-testing of the Beaconeer™Lite app for the foreseeable future until we are able to resolve this issue.  We have decided not to submit the app for final review...
