Multiple Servers
- Add and manage additional servers in App Configuration.
- App features are multi-server aware. For example, notifications work on all servers.
- iOS: Swipe with three fingers left, right, or up to quickly switch between servers.
Miscellaneous
- Changes how Shortcuts run on iOS 14 or later and macOS 11 or later, hopefully improving reliability.
- Notification categories are now fully deprecated and support for them will be removed in iOS-2022.4. It's time to transition to in-notification actions. See the docs.
- iOS: Swipe left and right with two fingers to navigate forward and back in the frontend.
- macOS: Adds Audio Output sensors, showing the current active audio device.
- macOS: Renames Microphone to Audio Input for new installs.
Onboarding Improvements
- Adds button to export logs when showing an onboarding error to aid in bug reporting.
- Fixes error message for the
mobile_appcomponent not being loaded. - Fixes error 404 when server URL has a trailing
/. - Fixes connecting when the internal URL doesn’t work but the external does. The app will now use the external only for connecting.
- Fixes Cloud not being enabled by default during onboarding.
- Fixes 'timeout' errors during onboarding if only an internal URL is set in the server config.
- Fixes potentially confusing error when "Local Network" privacy permission was not granted.
- macOS: Fixes a case where onboarding would get stuck at Location permission.
- macOS: Fixes a confusing situation where the app expects Safari to open during onboarding but there's a system bug preventing it.
Bug fixes
- Fixes time sensitive notification interruption levels not working.
- Fixes avatar in settings showing a black line on some edges, depending on font sizes.
- macOS: Fixes Focus changes causing incorrect/outdated information to be sent for other sensors.
- iOS: Fixes AirPlay showing a different version of the frontend than what's on-screen
- iOS: Improves the reliability of the "Local Push" status, which is now under the server rather than in Notifications.
Known Issues
- Actions, scene actions, and notification categories defined in the HA configuration with duplicate identifiers across multiple servers will fight each other; one server value will win.

- Fixes the frontend not reconnecting quickly when opening the app from the background. This requires core-2021.12.0b6 or newer.

Added
- Three-finger swipe-up: pick a server or open settings. Do the gestures in this release feel good?
- Log export button when showing an onboarding error, to make bug reporting easier.
Changed
- Shortcuts on iOS 14 or later and macOS 11 or later now go through a different mechanism. Please report back if this improves or worsens Shortcuts; I believe it will make them more reliable.
Fixed
- Fixes Focus changes on macOS causing incorrect/outdated information to be sent for other sensors.
- Fixes Cloud not being enabled by default during onboarding.
- Fixes 'timeout' errors during onboarding if only an internal URL is set in the server config.
- Fixes deleting a server and re-adding the same one occasionally using the deleted server's info.
- Fixes some rare crashes that occur when accessing server info (aka randomly all the time).
- Fixes some errors like "Could not communicate with background transfer service" in Shortcuts, probably.
- Fixes potentially confusing error during onboarding when "Local Network" privacy permission was not granted.
Known issues
- Actions, scene actions, and notification categories defined in the HA configuration with duplicate identifiers across the multiple servers will fight each other; one server value will win.
The macOS app is now available on TestFlight on macOS 12+.

- Fixes a case where macOS onboarding would get stuck at Location permission.
- Fixes a confusing situation where the app expects Safari to open on macOS during onboarding but there's a system bug preventing it.

Fixes
