July 2 - iOS Notifications & Stability Improvements

iOS Notifications & Stability Improvements

Hello all,

It has been a long awaited and a painful build on my end resolving the notifications issue with iOS. I can only apologise that 3 months in we're only finally getting this boxed off.

What the update entails:

- Fully native push notifications
- Updated capacitor version to support smoother gameplay & stability improvements

Once Apple verify these changes, they'll go live immediately - usually within a couple of hours. If you don't have your device settings on "Auto install updates" for the App store - you'll need to navigate to the app and tap update.

What notifications will you receive?

- Vitals refilled
- New mail received
- Item market listing sold
- Stock market alert (price triggers)
- Hospital/Jail release
- Travel arrivals
- Pack received via Gift

What we plan on next with notifications?

We have already began building notification management within your settings, where you can toggle on and off certain notifications. We're also continuing to grab recommendations of other notifications you want to have included as an option - we'll launch these together sometime very soon for both iOS & Google Play.

Thanks for playing. Much more is in the pipe line as promised - we're working hard behind the scenes!
