As soon as 3.3.1 was online, we received two calls for help via the Playstore: the app could no longer be started. Baffled, we got in touch. The first problem was quickly solved. Due to Google’s security requirements, we had to increase the minimum version of Android. As a result, older Android versions were no…
The routine returns
As expected, it took us some time to delve into the depths of GC Wizard – and we are still a long way from reaching our goal. But we have been successful, as the latest bugfix release shows. The team is growing together and Mike is getting to grips with the challenges with Google and…
Happy new Year …
… or “Lebbe geht weider”, as Dragoslav “Stepi” Stepanovic once said. Of course, Mark’s decision was a fact that we had to digest.
