2.1.0 Beta 3

Bug Fixes

• App crashed when starting the accessibility service on Android Marshmallow 6.0 and older. OOPS XD.
• The Menu action wouldn't sometimes work on rooted devices.
• Attempt to fix the problem of the accessibility service being enabled but broken on some devices.
• Typo in the dialog message prompting the user to reboot.
• The dialog prompting the user to reboot would show at the wrong time.
• Switch to a new App Intro library. Hopefully it is more stable because the old library was crashing for many users.

2.1.0 Beta 2

Added

• Prompt the user to reboot their device if they fail to record a trigger 2 times in a row.
• Show a toast after using the Screenshot (ROOT) action.

Bug Fixes

• show a toast if there is an IOException when detecting buttons when the screen is off.

• Hold Down action option didn't work for long-press triggers.

• JSON files are sometimes greyed out when picking a file to restore. All file types are now shown because Android doens't have a mimetype for JSON files.
• Crash if a modifier key trigger is not mapped to a Key Event action.
• Potential crash when showing keymaps on the homescreen.
