Note About Updates

Shell updates work differently from Rock Core. Because every update requires thorough testing, only update when you need a specific new feature or bug fix.

To update your shell, please reach out to the App Factory service.

    • Removed the transparent background from the message view in the Notification Message List block.
    • (iOS) Fixed the chat mute option mislabeling named group channels that had only two members. The action now matches the channel type, so named channels read "Mute Channel," one-on-one direct messages read "Mute User," and group direct messages read "Mute Group."

    Engagement v19.1

It includes an Outreach Dashboard with activity insights and key metrics, contact management (My Contacts, Contact Profile, and an Add Contact flow that can import a contact straight from the phone's contact list), a guided onboarding experience, and Touchpoint tracking for both prayer and connection.

    • (iOS) Fixed an issue that could cause the app to close unexpectedly at random during use.
    • Fixed Android media playback so audio from other apps now lowers in volume when Rock Mobile starts playing audio.
    • (iOS) Fixed the media player taking over the audio session as soon as a page with a player loaded, which silenced audio already playing in other apps. The player now claims audio only when playback starts and releases it afterward, so other apps keep playing until you press play.
    • Fixed external links silently failing on Android when the address belonged to a site that also has an installed app handler (for example, opening a YouTube link on a device with the YouTube app installed). The link now falls back to the device's default browser handling so it opens correctly. Fixes: #123
    • Fixed several tab bar visibility issues, including the bar appearing on full-screen pages, not restoring after a cover sheet was dismissed, and not hiding correctly with a show-page action on iOS 18 and later.
    • Fixed the navigation bar reappearing after the Play Video command ran. Fixes: #75
    • Fixed a blank screen that could briefly appear while transitioning to the homepage.
    • Fixed scrolling being disabled after returning to the app when a cover sheet had been opened through a touch behavior.
    • Improved the speed of Android page loads on location-aware pages by reading the last known location from cache first. Fixes: #51
    • Updated the admin and about screen to show the current build identifier, making it easier to confirm exactly which build is installed.
    • (iOS) Opening a page containing a MediaPlayer no longer mutes or ducks audio from other apps (such as Spotify or Apple Music) before playback begins. Background audio is now only affected when someone actively starts playback, and it resumes correctly after leaving the page.

    • Added an empty-state view for the reminder list.
