Eliminate the spinning circle of death bug in the OVO Beyond app

A bit of a delay in picking this up, I’m sorry @Blastoise186. 

Can you provide a bit more context on the current behaviour vs expected? I can’t find the original idea about this… When confirmed I will get this raised to the team now and be back to update the status when possible. 

Yup. In the main OVO app as you might remember, it now tells the user that it’s refreshing the app and no longer does that annoying “reset” while the app is being used when CodePush suddenly refreshes the app later. The old thread was from a couple of years before Forum Ideas was enabled.

OVO Beyond is doing the same, but doesn’t show any heads up about app refreshes.

Well, I had a look, but not having the vaguest idea of what I was looking for, I didn’t see it - and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything unusual. The app version may be 1.5.19, but I don’t really know where to find it. So sorry, no vote from this clueless user 😐

This is one of those things that for the most part, only myself and OVO’s app developers know anything about :)

I’ve not forgotten about this by the way, @Blastoise186!

This has been added to the OVO Beyond team roadmap, @Blastoise186 - thanks for raising. We’ll update the status of this idea when it’s done. 

Thanks! :D

If needed, feel free to have them ask the main OVO App team for a copy of the relevant config file from the main app. That one already has the optimised settings and works perfectly so it should be fairly easy to just steal some snippets from already written code and dump it straight into the OVO Beyond app.

I admire your confidence, ‘ just steal some snippets from already written code and dump it straight into the OVO Beyond app’.

I’ve seen £500,000 worth of damage and months of lost production, all caused by someone copying ‘working code’ from one plant to another.

Hopefully there will be proper testing performed before yours is released, or are the end users going to be the testers ? 

The code in question is actually well tested - I tested it myself a couple of years ago. After all, it was me who broke the original code and figured out the bug! And erm… My fault the bug existed in the first place… XD

Worth noting however, that on this forum you don’t rank up by gaining lots of Points, topics or comments. We’re a little different around these parts. The actual method to rank up… Is a secret... :)
