Features & improvements

• Introducing app action support, with configured sound playback as the first action. Actions can be enabled through managed configuration and optionally protected with a token.
• EMM application inventory reporting, with installed application, version, source, installer, and signing-certificate metadata. Reports can cover all installed applications or only user-facing applications.
• Metadata reporting is now scheduled from the bootstrap worker rather than depending on the app UI being opened.
• Expanded device metadata includes Android and build information, language, display state and refresh rate, and available memory and storage.

Fixes

• Prevented boot-time work from accessing credential-encrypted storage before the device has been unlocked, avoiding a potential Direct Boot crash.
• Added recovery for corrupt DataStore state. Managed settings are restored from managed configuration where available.
• Consolidated EMM registration scheduling to prevent duplicate registration work.
• Fixed Geo-IP HTTP response handling and added allowlist validation for EMM metadata and application-report uploads.

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.

Features & improvements

• Added support for app usage data in order to report on data usage (network - Wi-Fi, cellular) on a daily/weekly/monthly basis
• Added Wi-Fi details to the device info cards, so with permissions, all current network details are now present in the UI
• Added a raw dump of deviceinfo for debugging
• Device identifiers (IMEI, serial, etc) no longer require a licence to display.. just the correct EMM policy.
• Moved the play integrity functionality to a repo for sharing around the app
• Added a dedicated location foreground service for more reliable location reporting

Fixes

• I typically avoid doing this as it's vague, but this release genuinely has miscellaneous fixes mostly to UI, a little to logic.

Note: 1.1.4.0 includes all the below except the managed config system refactor, allowing me to roll back to 1.1.4.0 should 1.1.5.0 become unstable from the MC changes.

Features & improvements

• Refactored managed config system into a singleton to improve stability and eliminate multiple-instance race conditions.
• Moved restriction receiver handling into managed config system to ensure lifecycle-independent reception of configuration updates.
• Reworked initial configuration so ViewModels and workers see managed configuration immediately on first use.
• Introduced device info repository, adding structured collection of device information including Wi‑Fi details, SoC fallback parsing, and more. This replaces the work a single ViewModel was doing, allowing it to be reused across the app.
• Added true device uptime using elapsedRealtime(), and a new “time in use” metric using uptimeMillis().
• Improved reliability of the certificate worker, merging CA and P12 handling paths and implementing drift protection.
• Added a metadata worker for remote metadata sync to EMM-configured endpoints
• Improved Location worker behaviour during boot and removed redundant network constraints to avoid callback exhaustion.
• Added support for showing settings in the Managed Device Dashboard when companion settings are enabled.
• Added Wi‑Fi information to DeviceInfo (SSID, BSSID, security, frequencies, channel width, link speeds) with graceful fallback when permissions are missing. This only shows in the metadata export presently.
• Improved internal logging across the app.
• General clean‑up of old or redundant code.

Fixes

• Fixed regression preventing fallback card from showing when no stacks were configured.
• Corrected runBlocking usages inside suspend contexts.
• Fixed inaccurate device uptime reporting by switching from uptimeMillis() to elapsedRealtime().
• Corrected SOC_MANUFACTURER and SOC_MODEL handling by treating them as nullable and falling back to /proc/cpuinfo.

Features & improvements

MANAGED INFO has had a complete refactor of the managed configuration implementation, and an overhaul of memory management. For lower-powered devices and those with complex card layouts, the application should feel more responsive. This is additionally assisted with the introduction of a loader.

In addition, MANAGED INFO will now fetch a PING UUID from any already-installed BAYTON application, or generate a new one if none exist.

Additional features and improvements:

• Admin override implemented for kiosk/launcher modes, allowing temporary access to all applications.
• Device identifier retrieval improved with DataStore caching.
• Loader implemented and animation updated for heavy card layouts.
• New theme override and custom text-on-background colour parameters added.
• UUID display and sharing via content provider added to settings UI.
• Licence validation worker refactored with timeout and periodic improvements.
• Increased offline licence validation cooldown to 30 days
• Activation record worker updated to use shared UUID logic.
• New interface for PING endpoints.
• Default configuration settings updated.
• Configuration mapping logic refactored and offloaded unmanaged defaults to classes.
• Provider declaration and permission for UUID sharing added to manifest.
• Main activity refactored for improved reliability and cooldown handling.
• Licence state and API call logic improved for reactivity and reliability.
• Increased reliability for order sending and contact info fallback.

Fixes

• Licence state initialization and API call refactoring.
• Minor documentation and code style updates.
• Fix imports.
• Fix top nav layout.
• Fixed licence state always initializing to false.
• Fixed missing cards on unmanaged devices.
• Fixed BOM version mismatch.
• Fixed queries in API call.
• App view model refactored to avoid polling for empty or invalid packages.
• Configurations now hydrated via suspend function and state updated.
• Build system upgrades, version bump, and compile/target SDK updates.

Fixes

• Fix imports
• Fix licensing for device information card

Known issues

• MANAGED INFO will close when the launcher toggle is set, this is a limitation of Android and cannot be avoided. Simply reopen the app under the new app name INFO Launcher.

Features & improvements

  • Formatting (bold, italic, underline)
  • Headings
  • Images
  • Links

Features & improvements

• Added a new configuration to hide the missing packages error shown in the app grid, as sometimes said apps simply aren't available on all devices, especially things like dialler between a phone and tablet. Now it can be hidden, and only valid apps will show up in the grid.

Fixes

• I broke the device info logic when I added the new button, this fixes that.
• Fixed an unfiltered error when a package isn't found
• Brought back logic to allow app gaps when the packages are defined in CSV with ..example, ,com.. in the app grid card

  • Horizontal HTML-enabled text card
  • Application card
  • App grid card
• Added network info card, you can now view radios, network information, and more. This adds the ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permission to MANAGED INFO
• Added device DPI to device info
• Rebuilt the custom card config. Due to Google limitations custom cards of all types are configured outside of Customisation Settings in the Managed Config payload, but remain a licensed feature.
