    • Player ID received is triggered when appinfo receives the player ID information that is not empty
    • Back button pressed is user presses the device back button on android and the back transition is disabled
      • We disable the back transition by default on the opening screen of your app
      • For screens opened via native transition, the back transition is auto-enabled to go to previous screen.

  7. Auto-remove loading screen for links visited via native transition outside your app domain

  8. Enhanced project page to specify many customisations while submitting your app build request

    1. Launched a brand new ‘Screen designer’ to specify for your own app
      • Splash screen
      • Loading screen at launch
      • Loading screen for native transitions after launch
    2. Specify orientation restrictions for your iOS and Android app during build process, removing need to do it using workflow in your app
    3. Improved information submission process
    4. Specify the notch color for iPhoneX and beyond when native header is not used
