Problems with DataLogging after Pebble SDK update to v4.0 - pebble-sdk

After update to SDK v4.0 I've faced a problem when data sent to the phone via DataLogging are getting lost.
Getting obtained only few data batches from many and sessionDidFinish method of Data Logging delegate doesn’t fire. The same trouble with DataLogging occurs with apps of other developers and Pebble 1 watches.
(iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.5; Pebble 1, Firmware v3.12.2)

Pebble team confirmed bug from their side.

How can I disable the Android 11 media notification for my application when using ExoPlayer's media2 extension?

I have an application that plays videos using ExoPlayer. A notification is created using the PlayerNotificationManager and MediaDescriptionAdapter from ExoPlayer.
On Android 11 on a Pixel 5 (but not a Pixel 3 XL) or any Samsung device I see two notifications: one that I see on all other OS versions, and one that appears in the settings tray on a Pixel, or the Media section (and lock screen) on Samsung devices.
At some point, I would like to support that notification properly, but for now, having two notifications is a bug, and it seems like the easiest fix should be to disable the new notification.
The linked documentation says
To be discoverable your app must provide a MediaBrowserService, typically using the MediaBrowserServiceCompat library from Android Jetpack.
My app has an androidx.media2.MediaSessionService, which hides the MediaBrowserService. I have tried returning null from the onGetSession() method, but the notification still appears. It seems like I need a way to do the equivalent of returning null from onGetRoot().
Is there anything I can do to opt out of this notification without rewriting all of my MediaSession/MediaSessionService code to use the older compat equivalents?

When is sessionReachabilityDidChange(_:) called on a watch WCSessionDelegate?

Apple's documentation says this in the discussion section of the method description:
This method is called to let the
current process know that its counterpart session’s reachability
changed.
The description of the isReachable property says this: WatchKit
extension. The iOS device is within range, so communication can occur
and the WatchKit extension is running in the foreground, or is running
with a high priority in the background (for example, during a workout
session or when a complication is loading its initial timeline data).
I am assuming this would mean that if the watch moves out of or into range of the iOS device, the WatchKit extension would be launched and the WCSessionDelegate's sessionReachabilityDidChange() method would be called, and the WCSession's isReachable would be true if the iOS device just came into range and false if it just when out of range.
I have not found a way to verify this in xcode. For example I put a log message in sessionReachabilityDidChange(_:) and walked out of range, but xcode simply says the app lost connection with the iphone and can no longer debug it. Can someone verify this or point me to some documentation that better describes this?
I think you cannot verify this in Xcode.
I have an app on iOS and watchOS. To check this kind of situation, I can enable debug alerts on iOS and watchOS. When func sessionReachabilityDidChange(session: WCSession) is triggered, I display a debug alert.
Now, if I run (not under Xcode) my watch extension, and then switch off the paired iPhone, the debug alert is shown on the watch.
This shows that sessionReachabilityDidChange is actually called as expected.
Apparently, under Xcode a connected iOS device is always reachable.
EDIT:
To check the situation when the watch extension is not in foreground, I did the following:
Instead of showing a debug alert, I set now the complication to a unique value that is not possible otherwise. I launched the watch extension and put it into background by showing the watch face with the complication.
When I now switch off the iPhone, the complication is not updated.
This indicates to me that sessionReachabilityDidChange is not called in background.

How to handle Alert windows in Amazon Device Farm /w Appium

I currently trying out Amazon Device Farm and was able to get a dummy app to work.
However, when I tried getting the actual App I want to get working on Amazon device farm, I'm unable to do so. I'm able to upload the .ipa file, and zip up and upload the py.tests/appium tests with their dependencies, however the tests fail.
What I think might be happening is ADF is not recognizing some of the Desired_capabilities to autodismiss the Alerts for Notifications and GPS coordinates.
My setup is very similar to the setup I used with the dummy app in my initial tests. (these worked with amazon device farm)
https://github.com/dlai0001/appium-spike-running-tests-oncloud
Only thing that is really different is I'm using a real production app, where 2 alert windows popup upon launch. In Appium it will cause the test to crash if I don't have the autodismiss or autoaccept alerts enabled in the desired capabilities.
Harness 00:00.0 1295 Info Starting 00001 with device c00e8ab68437161b894395e438ba8935a672bac0
Harness 00:00.0 1295 Info Using test content version 0.1.0
Harness 00:00.1v1295 Info Using image version ami-778b7c17
I work for the Amazon Device Farm team.
It appears that you are relying on desired capabilities to dismiss the alert window. Currently, Device farm has support for a very limited set of desired capabilities namely app name, package name and osversion. These are available to the application without having the user required to set it.
Appium runs with autoAcceptAlerts=true on Device Farm. This should handle the alert windows, if any, unless it is a system pop up which autoAcceptAlert cannot handle. You should check if your tests can handle the alert windows using autoAcceptAlerts=true with Appium pre launch mode locally.
If it can handle it then device farm should behave the same way.
Sometimes it may be the case that the alert window appears before the appium session is established in which case adding a delay can help.
When you test is locally please use Appium version 1.4.16 since this is the version being used on device farm right now.

Apigee BaaS emails me weird error messages

I am using Apigee BaaS and everytime I run the cordova app that consumes these apis I get this error message in an email
[org-name-app-name timeStamp Sat Dec 27 19:52:03 UTC 2014][ Tag : CRASH][ Device Platform : android][ Platform Version : android UNKNOWN][ Device Model : UNKNOWN][ Devicd ID :794DCBC2-4D1D-9EEC-A86560412878]Error:[object Event] for url:undefined on line:undefined
What exactly is this? Why do I get this?
Apigeee BaaS SDKs also include App Performance Monitoring (APM) functionalities. APM catches crashes in iOS and Android Apps. When it comes to JS, it captures all errors and will send email notification in group depending on how frequently errors/crashes are happening and some configuration parameters. If you don't want to get notification, then you can turn off entire APM or just crash notification. To disable monitoring completely, see http://apigee.com/docs/app-services/content/monitoring-app-usage-data . Just to suppress crash notification, see http://apigee.com/docs/app-services/content/monitoring-app-errors-and-crashes section "Disabling alert.."

LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER is not triggering onLocationChanged in ICS

Does anybody know what happened with event-listener for location changed for WI-FI provider. I saw a lot of questions about this but no proper answer.
I'm doing everything fine and it is working for older versions of android, but now I updated my SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 to ICS and it is not working anymore. Maybe this is a SAMSUNG (or my mobile provider) bug when they implemented their UI into ICS...
I'm registering eventlistener like this (have in mind that it works good in prevous versions of android and I also enabled all location services in settings):
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER, 0, 0, loclistener);
//refresh time and distance are to 0 so it should trigger location change event
After this request I checked if network provider is enabled and it shows like it is.
Code:
if (locationManager.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER)) {
Toast.makeText(this, "NETWORK PROVIDER enabled!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
If someone has an idea please help me...
This is known issue:
After device reboot the network location provider works fine but after some time it stops updating.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=57707
Unfortunately without solution yet.
To track how often the network provider is updating, I modified the onLocationChanged() method to the following:
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
dummyText.setText(location.toString() + "\n" + "Elapsed Time (ms): " + (lastTime - location.getTime()));
lastTime = location.getTime();
}
And added:
long lastTime = 0;
...as a global variable.
This will print out the time between updates in milliseconds (after the first fix - first fix will just print the negative time value from the first Location).
I ran the above code on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and the network provider updates around every 20 seconds, so the code seems fine.
I also ran this on a Samsung Dart (from T-mobile, but not activated) on WiFi, and the network provider updates around every 45 seconds.
I also ran this on a Samsung Nexus S 4G (from Sprint, but not activated) on WiFi, and the network provider at first didn't update at all. Restarting the device seemed to fix the problem, and now its updating roughly every 20 seconds.
Based on your comments and my experience, it looks like this issue varies between OEMs and even between device models of the same OEM. It might be another quirk of the lack of the strict enforcement of LocationListener behavior prior to Android Jelly Bean 4.1. Strict enforcement of LocationListener behavior only recently started in Android Jelly Bean 4.1, which is mentioned in the Android developer docs here in under the first requestLocationUpdates method signature:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html
Prior to Jellybean, the minTime parameter was only a hint, and some location provider implementations ignored it. From Jellybean and onwards it is mandatory for Android compatible devices to observe both the minTime and minDistance parameters.
Also, from my experience, the refresh interval of the NETWORK_PROVIDER location updates on devices that do update is pretty fixed at around 20-30 seconds across many different devices. So, the minTime parameter you pass into the locationManager.requestLocationUpdates() method is likely to be ignored.
Having to reboot the device to get a network provider location is likely due to not getting a response from the Google server that provides this location info. Not sure why rebooting fixes it.
I had the same problem with the NETWORK_PROVIDER. The reason is that when you request for updates, the NETWORK_PROVIDER does not create a callback for the method onLocationChanged(). You also need to call getLastKnownLocation(NETWORK_PROVIDER) in order for it to start updating the location.
The weird thing is that for the GPS_PROVIDER this is not neccessary.
I hope this helps.
Ok. So now I got it working. It is really strange. I restarted all my devices and now it updates. I don't know what happened and I would really like to know what is the reason for this strange behavior. Thank you #barbeau for all your time and help.
