Issue with latest iOS App Update and Dark Mode

With the recent app update, it seems that the iOS system level dark mode interferes with the display of some fields in the app. I was trying to re-add my vehicle sensor (for some reason auto-open stopped working after the latest update), and when I went to go add the Bluetooth sensor, the list continually appeared to be empty. It was driving me crazy that my phone was not detecting the sensor, but then I had a thought that maybe dark mode was causing an issue in the sensor list, because I also noticed that in the vehicle name field, the text was white on a white background. Sure enough, as soon as I turned off the iOS system level dark mode, the sensor displayed in the list to select. The issue was that black text was appearing on a black background, but the line separators were white, making it look like the vehicle sensor was not being detected. I have sorted this out now, but I wanted to report the issue so that it can hopefully be addressed in a future update as well as so that others who run into the same issue have a resolution.

  Thanks Marc. Yes we are aware of this issue and have already fixed it. An updated version of the app will be available on the app store hopefully tomorrow, possibly Monday. The current version of the app accidentally got published with dark mode enabled. We quickly disabled it for the next release as we are still working on making it full dark mode compatible as many users have requested. In short, we just simply goofed and forgot to set it back to disabled before publishing it and nobody caught it.

  So the next update will have it disabled and the one after that should hopefully have dark mode enabled (and working properly).

  So sorry for the trouble.

  Thanks, Scott. I appreciate the quick follow up. I also noticed that my open/close Shortcuts stopped working after the latest update as well. To fix, I just had to delete and re-add the commands in each of the corresponding Shortcuts.

  Marc,

  That's odd. I'll make a note. I use mine several times per day and they're all still working, so I'm not sure what that was about. You followed the usual troubleshooting route - if something isn't working, delete it and add it back again :)
