MANAGED INFO release 1.1.8.0

This is a considerable release touching a lot of areas of the application. Furthermore, this release removes most licence requirements. See this announcement for details.

Features & improvements

• Licensing has been mostly removed.
• Added a managed configuration-controlled app drawer for launcher mode
  • Supports unrestricted app visibility or allowlisted packages only
  • Allows administrators to expose a controlled app drawer alongside kiosk or card-based layouts
• Improved launcher reliability using a dual activity alias setup for safer launcher switching
• Significant improvements to app list handling, caching, and refresh behaviour
• Better handling of app install, update, and removal events
• Launcher UI refinements, including spacing, icon sizing limits, and colour consistency
• Improved background and dispatcher usage to reduce UI blocking and race conditions
• Refactored app escape sheet and installed package logic for correctness and maintainability
• Reduced unnecessary managed configuration updates by only reacting to meaningful changes
• Improved WorkManager initialisation sequencing and retry behaviour
• General code clean-up, refactors, and stability improvements across the app

Fixes

• Fixed crashes occurring during or immediately after device boot
• Improved handling of revoked permissions to prevent stalled or inconsistent behaviour
• Notification icon fixes and improved wallpaper-related notifications
• Fixed issues with component state management and settings toggles
• Resolved inconsistencies in managed configuration hydration and update handling

Known issues

• On first launch after updating, the app may briefly close while launcher components are reconfigured. Re-launching the app resolves this and is only required once.
• If you have previously configured settings in the app managed config which were previously licensed, and you have no license, they will now apply.
