Nouveautés (v1.1.3)
Build 17 / Version 1.1.3 fixes the rare "Connection Error" issue that some users hit after relaunching the app.
What changed:
• Smarter retry on failed loads. The app now silently re-tries the network three times with growing back-off before showing any error.
• Deeper cache clearing on retry. If a previous launch left the app's local web cache or Service Worker in a corrupted state, the new retry path automatically wipes that storage and reloads cleanly — without needing to uninstall the app.
• New "Reset App Data" recovery button. If you ever do get the connection screen, tap Reset App Data for an in-app one-shot recovery that's equivalent to deleting and reinstalling — but faster, and you stay in the app.
• Live-network awareness. The app now uses the device's built-in network monitor to detect when you regain connectivity and auto-retries the load — no need to back out and reopen.
• Inline reconnect banner instead of a full-screen error. While the app is retrying, you'll see a small banner at the top with progress; the screen stays clean.
Why we shipped it:
A small group of users reported the app showing "Unable to connect" even after relaunching, even with a working internet connection. The root cause was a corrupted WKWebView cache or Service Worker registration left over from a previous launch — these survive a normal reload but get wiped on app deletion. Build 17 clears those automatically, permanently fixing the issue.
No new permissions, no new in-app purchases, no design changes — just a more resilient connection layer and a fast recovery path if anything ever does go wrong.
Thank you to every CCRN candidate who reported this. Your feedback shipped this fix.
