  • 1.  Scanco APP Update Week of December 11th, 2023 - Email

    Anyone receive insight from Scanco on how this change in their APPS will impact our clients and the product end users?  Are they updating the Server Component or is it just the APP Component?  Do we know if it will be a problem if some devices at the client site are updated and others are not?

    Scanco Response to my specific questions:   
    1.      Can you provide us the details how to advice clients the steps to "disable automatic updates"?   
    Sure. Android and iOS both: 
     
    Android: 
    You can also disable automatic updates for your Android apps by doing the following:

     

    1.     Open the Google Play Store

    2.     Select your Google account profile picture

    3.     Select Settings

    4.     Select Network Preferences

    5.     Select Auto-Update apps

    6.     Select Don't auto-update apps

    7.     Select Done

     
    iOS: 
    To disable automatic app updates on iOS, you can do the following:

     

    1.     Open Settings

    2.     Navigate to iTunes & App Store

    3.     Scroll to the Automatic Downloads section

    4.     Toggle Updates to OFF

     
     
    2.      What happens if at a specific client, some workstations are updated and some are not?
    Catastrophe, not really, but it's not ideal. All devices should be on the same version to ensure stability. Each version release like this is directly connected to a Connectit Service Upgrade. 
     
    3.      Is there an update for any Server Components to be pushed out to clients? 
    Yes, once the applications update, and only if they update it will trigger ConnectIt to update as well. 
     
    4.      What does "starting December 11th" mean; is it being done at a particular date/time of the week?  Is it based on client location, product, etc.? 
    We say starting on December 11th because Android and iOS both have "App Approval" process and sometimes its 12 hours, sometimes it's 10 days, and there is no rhyme or reason for it. 
     
     
    Please let me know if you have any other questions!!

    Is this one reason why it may be advisable to get dedicated scanner equipment vs using off-the-shelf phones ( Andriod, iOS) ?
