Comments

Adapt CovPass(Check) and the issuance portal to new COVID-19-Schutzmaßnahmen-Ausnahmenverordnung
[X] None of the other issue templates apply to this issue.

This is an informational issue.

This issue affects iOS, Android & the issuance portal.

Verordnung zur Änderung der COVID-19-Schutzmaßnahmen-Ausnahmenverordnung und der Coronavirus-Einreiseverordnung from 14. January 2022 made changes to the Verordnung zur Regelung von Erleichterungen und Ausnahmen von Schutzmaßnahmen zur Verhinderung der Verbreitung von COVID-19 (COVID-19-Schutzmaßnahmen-Ausnahmenverordnung - SchAusnahmV). The changes came into effect on 15.01.2022.

The changes can be found in an easy & understandable way here: https://www.bundesgesundheitsministerium.de/service/gesetze-und-verordnungen/vo-aend-covid-19-schausnahmv-und-coronavirus-einreisev.

I don't feel qualified enough to make statements about what this means for CovPass, CovPassCheck and the issuance portal (e.g. if this means that one shot after J&J is no longer a booster), but what's sure is that the recovery status will only last for 3 months now, see also https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article236274326/Corona-RKI-verkuerzt-Genesenenstatus-auf-drei-Monate.html.

Booster recommendation although already boostered
Avoid duplicates

[x] Bug is not mentioned in the FAQ

[x] Bug is not already reported in another issue

Technical details

Device name: iPhone 11

OS version: 15.2 RC

App version: 1.13 (5)

Describe the bug

The app recommends I get boostered although I did this week and scanned the certificate for it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

This might be due to the fact that the booster is not yet 14 days old. But it gets shown with a green tick mark and the app should then at least know that it will be valid soon.

A verification only with CovPassCheck is no longer possible due to the new 2G+ rules in some federal states

[X] Bug is not mentioned in the FAQ

[X] Bug is not already reported in another issue

Technical details

Device name: Not relevant

OS version: Not relevant

App version: Not relevant

Describe the bug

The CovPass-App currently states:

However, this is not a good advice for people which received the booster, lifing in Baden- Württemberg, Lower Saxony or Rhineland-Palatine and want to attend a 2G+ event. By law, they are not required to get tested before (because they have received the booster shot). So now, they just go to an event and have all their certificates stored in CovPass. The personal checking the certificates is using CovPassCheck to verify the certificates, however, there is no other way for the person attending the event to proof their booster but scrolling down in CovPass and showing the "3/3" certificate, as CovPassCheck does not differentiate between a normal vaccination certificate and the one from a booster.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Life in Baden- Württemberg, Lower Saxony or Rhineland-Palatine

Get your booster shot

Attend a 2G+ event

Notice that when the personal checks your certificates they have no other way to make sure you are booster (and thus aren't tested) but scrolling down in your CovPass app and looking at the 3/3 certificate

Expected behaviour

Not too sure, see "Possible Fix" below.

Possible Fix

CovPassCheck shows more details, e.g. which certificate (2/2, 3/3, etc.) certificate was presented (But this is still not "the" best solution as 2/2 can also stand for a booster).

Edit: The "Saarland" seems to handle it like described above too: https://www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de/app/consent/?ref=https://www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de/saarland/landespolitik/2g-plus-regel-im-saarland-tobias-hans-kuendigt-erleichterung-an_aid-64437555.

No Revocation check on Certificates !Important

Page 5 of verifiable vaccination certificates - basic interoperability elements states:

A trust framework, including digital infrastructure, that is needed for establishing the authenticity and validity of certificates presented by certificate holders.

Page 11 of Interoperability of health certificates Trust framework states :

3.1.1.7 Health certificate revocation list (HCRL) A system used by Country A for publishing information about revoked health certificates.
Each Country A shall publish one and only one aggregate list of all revoked health certificates. Country A is responsible for putting its revoked certificates on the list and signing it using one of its signing keys controlled by the PHA.

I do not see any implementation of a revocation check.

[X] Bug is not mentioned in the FAQ

[X] Bug is not already reported in another issue (CWA: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-ios/issues/3935)

Technical details

Device name: Not relevant

iOS version: 15.1.1

App version: 1.13.0

Describe the bug

CovPass shows a 3/3 vaccination certificate as valid for the entry of France, CWA shows it as invalid.

| CWA | CovPass | |---|---| | | |

The rule which failed in CWA is: "With Moderna vaccine, a finished vaccination course is considered protective earliest from 28 days after the date of the last vaccination."

@thomasaugsten confirmed in https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-ios/issues/3935#issuecomment-986282922 that this is an issue with CovPass.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Add a Booster certificate to your CWA and your CovPass

Check the validity for France

See that CWA shows invalid, CovPass shows valid

Note: It seems like this only happens for 6 days after the vaccination in the CWA.

Expected behaviour

CWA and CovPass should show the same result.

CovPass Check on iPad

Today our administrator installed the CovPass Check-App (Ver. 1.3) on my official iPad (6. Generation, Wi-Fi without cellular - A1893 - iPadOS 14.6). After the start, I saw the attached note on my display. "Internet connection necessary". But the internet connection works proper on all other apps. The inspection of my vaccination certificate fails every time. Can anyone reproduce this failure? I assume, it is the missing cellular module. But why?

On my private iPad, I haven't any problems with the actual CovPass Check-App (Ver. 1.3). It's an iPad Air 2, Wi-Fi with cellular - A1567 - iPadOS 13.7).

Thanks for your help! regards

QR Code invalid after adding booster to app
Avoid duplicates

[x] Bug is not mentioned in the FAQ

[x] Bug is not already reported in another issue

Technical details

Device name: iPhone 11

OS version: 15.1

App version: 1.13 (5)

Describe the bug

After I received my booster vaccination and stored it in the CovPass app as vaccination (3/3), the QR code was displayed as invalid when scanned with the CovPass Check app - even after multiple scans.

The problem could be solved by displaying and scanning the QR code of the second vaccination (2/2). After that, the QR code of the third vaccination was also displayed as valid when scanned again.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Receive booster vaccination

Store booster vaccination in CovPass app (3/3)

Scan QR code of (3/3) - should display as invalid

Scan QR code of (2/2) - should display as valid

Scan QR code of (3/3) again - should now display as valid

Expected behaviour

The QR code for the booster vaccination (3/3) should be valid on the first scan without having to scan the older QR code first.

Additional context

The problem occurred on two different iPhones with the same OS and app version scanning each other. I don't know if it's the CovPass or the CovPass Check app and if Android devices are also affected.

I know it is not tracking my location. Is it using the IP address? Or just not making any assumption about a state and what it is trying to tell me is that it is gonna be inaccurate in most states? This message needs to be clarified!

Not sure if a GitHub issue is the right place to address this. Currently, the CovPass app is not available on the AppStore for the US. As I (and probably many more) don't have a German AppStore account I cannot install the app on my iPhone.

[X] Bug is not mentioned in the FAQ

[X] Bug is not already reported in another issue

Technical details

Device name: iPhone XR

OS version: 16.1.1

App version: 1.34

Describe the bug

I attempted to delete two certificates from the app and got the "Erfoglreich gelöscht" pop up. However, when I open the person detail screen again, the certificates appear again. Only an app restart fixed this problem for me.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Attempt to delete the certificate of a person from whom you have multiple certificates stored in the app

See the "Erfolgreich gelöscht" pop up

Check the list of stored certificates for this person again and notice that the certificates which should be deleted are still there

Expected behavior

The app should delete certificates, especially when it showed me the "Erfolgreich gelöscht" pop up.

Possible Fix

Probably some data storing issue.

Additional context

I can provide a video, which includes personal data, via mail if you give me a secure mail address.

Technical details

Device name: iPhone XR / Huawei P Smart 2019

OS version: 16.0.2 / 10

App version: 1.32

Describe the bug

Scanning a certificate of recovery, which certifies a recovery from COVID-19 with the first positive test being on 26.01.2022, CovPassCheck shows this screen (iOS & Android are exactly the same):

In this screen, CovPassCheck only shows that a certificate may be invalid because it's signature is invalid or the QR code is not readable, however, it does give reasons like

recovery is too long ago

vaccination protection is not sufficient

etc.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Scan a certificate of recovery with positive test > 3 months ago

See that CovPassCheck shows the screen which leaves out important reasons why the certificate is invalid.

Expected behaviour

The screen should also list non technical reasons for a certificate being invalid.

Possible Fix

Add more details to the screen.

[X] Bug is not mentioned in the FAQ

[X] Bug is not already reported in another issue

Technical details

Device name: iPhone 6s

OS version: 15.5

App version: 1.27

Describe the bug

I was playing around with the app a bit, renewing some certificates, deleting old ones, importing certificates, creating printouts, etc. and I notice that the app is, especially compared to the CWA, who does the same tasks with ease and with 0 waiting times, CovPass is incredible slow!

Steps to reproduce the issue

Do the following tasks on an older iPhone (on newer iPhones CovPass is still slower than CWA, but it's not that bad there). To compare, do the same task once in CovPass & once in CWA.

Delete a certificate With CovPass you will notice that the certificates details stay open for ca 5 sec. and nothing happens With CWA you see that the certificate is deleted instantly

Create a print out of a certificate With CovPass, after you click on "Weiter" the app takes ca. 5 sec to create the PDF and open the share sheet With CWA, after you click on "Einverstanden" the app loads for a brief moment (>1 sec.) and a nice preview of the PDF opens

Import a certificate With CovPass, after scanning the QR code the app loads for some seconds With CWA, there is no loading at all after the QR code was scanned

Open the app (cold start) With CovPass, there is a time frame of a few seconds where the app shows that there are no certificates stored in the app, only to show the certificates after some seconds With CWA, certificates are instantly available after a cold start

Expected behaviour

The app shouldn't be that slow.

Additional context

I have the same amount of certificates stored in CovPass & CWA.

Make clear statement whether certificate needs to be renewed or not
This issue applies to both, iOS AND Android!

Avoid duplicates

[X] This enhancement request has not already been raised before

Current Implementation

Currently, the app always shows the following text if a certificate is about to expire or has already expired:

If this is your latest certificate, you can renew it on the overview of your certificates. Otherwise, you don't have to do anything because your latest certificate contains all the necessary information for a check.

Suggested Enhancement

Make a clear statement whether this specific certificate needs to be renewed or not.

Examples for texts:

CASE 1: Latest certificate about to expire, needs to be renewed:

As this is your latest certificate, you should renew it. You can do so on the overview of your certificates.

CASE 2: Certificate is not the latest one, doesn't need to be renewed:

As this is not your latest certificate, you don't have to do anything because your latest certificate contains all the necessary information for a check.

Expected Benefits

Clearer communication, less confusion for the user. Better UX overall.

Hotfix for CovPass(Check) 💉

The Xcode version we used to use, contains a bug that is not noticeable when uploading the apps to the app store, but causes them to crash when opened on iPhone 6 and below with iOS 12. The reason is a missing concurrency library libswift_Concurrency.dylib , which is not shipped for iOS 12 with this Xcode version. To fix this, we change the version of Xcode and adjust the build scripts accordingly.

By fixing this, we also resolved #103

Main Features CovPass: 💉

Immunization Status: From October 1, 2022, according to Section 22a of the Infection Protection Act, a person is considered fully vaccinated if the person has received at least three doses of vaccine or can provide evidence of two vaccinations and recovery. A corresponding visual adjustment informing users about the new values of their certificates has been implemented.

Mask Status: (Already prepared and soon available in the app) If the certificates stored in the CovPass app are sufficient to exempt you from extended mask rules in your federal state, the certificate will turn green and you will see a new mask status. Details to those exemptions can be found within the detail view.

Data Privacy on the start screen: In the interest of data privacy, information on the certificate type and the associated date (vaccination date, date of the underlying test, date of test collection) was removed from the startscreen. Once your state places an expanded mask rule, the mask status will be visible to you on the start screen.

Main Features CovPassCheck: 💉

With the upcoming releases the CovPassCheck will provide a secure and simple mask check for verifiers. A additional immunity status check is in discussion. Expect the first changes in version 1.33. An outlook for upcoming topics will be published soon!

Main Features CovPass: 💉

Deactivating the update notifications: With the upcoming release, we will make it possible to view the update notifications at any time in the settings. Users who do not have time to study the updates in the course of a check situation can now view information about new functionalities via the settings. If you prefer to view updates via the settings, you can disable the update notification on first opening after the update. The text will still be readable in the settings. Excluded from the deactivation are so-called onboarding screens that introduce important new topics in detail to the users. These will continue to be played out as needed.

Bug Fixes CovPass: 💉

(IOS only) Re-Priotization for revoked/ expired DCCs: If multiple blocked or expired DCCs were available for an individual, they were prioritized by scan date rather than by vaccination date/date of the underlying test. This deviating prioritization has been fixed.

Main Features CovPassCheck: 💉

Saved check settings: In CovPassCheck your check settings are now permanently stored. When the app is opened again, the checkers will find familiar check settings.

Acoustic Feedback: Verifiers can now activate acoustic feedback via the CovPassCheck setting. When certificates are scanned, a signal tone sounds that is independent of the check result. This is intended to reassure the auditee that the scan was performed using the CovPassCheck provided for the checking purpose.

Deactivation of Offline-Revocation-Checks must be confirmed: Verifiers who want to deactivate the offline check for blacklist entries must now confirm the deactivation manually, as deactivation leads to the deletion of the saved lists. Reactivation is accompanied by a new download of the revocation lists.

Main Features CovPass: 💉

Transparent display of all local lists and their up-to-dateness: To ensure reliable testing of the DCCs with the most up-to-date set of rules possible, the tester is now shown all the sets of rules required for this and the last time they were updated.

Main Features CovPassCheck: 💉

Time limit for displaying test results: After scanning a DCC, check results are displayed to the verifier for only two minutes. A countdown, which becomes visible after one minute of waiting time, informs the verifier about the closure.

Transparent display of all local lists and their up-to-dateness: To ensure reliable testing of the DCCs with the most up-to-date set of rules possible, the tester is now shown all the sets of rules required for this and the last time they were updated. If all local lists are up-to-date, the offline mode is marked as "available".

Offline Revocation: Revocation lists can now also be stored locally if desired by the person performing the check. This makes it possible to check for revocation entries when scanning DCCs even with poor network reception or in flight mode. The required blocking lists are checked daily for up-to-dateness and exchanged if necessary.

Bug fixing for certificate renewals: 💉

Corrections and enhancement for the renewal process of technically expired certificates: If certificates share the same issue date, then with this release the date of vaccination (for vaccination certificates) or the date of the positive PCR test (for recovery certificates) is used to determine the newest certificate. The latest certificate is then sent to the backend first for reissue. Furthermore, if a vaccination certificate and a recovery certificate share the same date (of vaccination / positive PCR test), the latter is not renewed. Further text improvements based on bugs identified in testing and by the community

Incremental text corrections: e.g., formulations on the modal view (display "Aktuellen QR-Code anzeigen" instead of "Aktuelle Nachweise")

Release Notes CovPass Version 1.22.1

Hotfix CovPass: 💉

• Currently the apps suggest a re-issue for 2/2 vaccinations after a first 1/1 vaccination even though the certificates are not from germany. However we are currently not allowed to re-issue non german DCCs. Besides that the apps currently offer a re-issue even though the recovery certificate is the freshest one within the historic context. However a re-issue for J&J based vaccinations is only appropriate if the recovery is older than the 2/2 vaccination. To not suggest this re-issues anymore we are releasing this hotfix.

v1.21.0(Mar 30, 2022)

Release Notes CovPass Version 1.21

Release 1.21 is currently in final review and is expected to be released within the next couple of hours. Version 1.20 got skipped due to organizational reasons. It's contents moved to 1.21.

The CovPassCheck version 1.21 will be skipped. Next release will be CovPassCheck Version 1.22. Details about the CovPassCheck-Release will be announced soon.

Main Features CovPass: 💉

• Renewal of certificates[IOS, Android]: Certain certificates with the vaccination sequence "2 of 2" can be exchanged for "2 of 1" certificates. This allows certain certificates to be recognized as a booster vaccination. This primarily affects those who received a booster vaccination after recovery and those who received a former booster vaccination after a basic immunization with Johnson & Johnson. With this update, you can easily exchange these certificates within the app. For more details, visit our website.

• Sorting of certificates [IOS, Android]: Certificates with the same value are now sorted by their associated date (date of vaccination, date of PCR-test, date of sample collection), so you'll always have the newest certificate prioritized.

• Optimization of data consumption [IOS, Android]: The background processes for updating new rules have been optimized so that the app consumes less data volume during validation.

Bug Fixes CovPass: 💉

• Optimization of data consumption bugfixes [IOS]: with this version of the app local rule updates should now work as expected. Redundant rule updates of already updated rules will no longer happen.

v.1.16.0(Feb 3, 2022)

Main Features CovPass:

Neutral Start Screen: The start screen has been visually adjusted so that it is no longer immediately obvious what type of certificate it is. This protects users' personal data and promotes the correct use of the CovPassCheck app.

2/1 Recognition: The apps now will detect 2/1 vaccinations (also 3/1, 4/1 etc.) as booster-vaccinations within the CovPass. An adjustment for CovPassCheck will be made using the digital EU Business Rules so that the new scheme will be not only accept but lead to immediately valid certificates etc.

Planned Main Features CovPassCheck: • No new main features are included in this version. A requested adaption for 2G+ concepts etc. is planned for the release 1.17. Please also check the new announcement “Information about the upcoming version 1.17” for further information.

Bug-Fixes:

Auto-Focus: Android-Devices that had troubles with the auto-focus while scanning certificates should now be able to scan certificates properly Remove-Onboarding on Updates: For Android the onboarding process will not be shown after an update. However new data-privacy statements need to accept during first startup after an update. Reference to full vaccination: With the neutral screen feature the information about the date of completed vaccination on the start screen will disappear. With that we will no longer reference the date of booster as the date of full immunization. Update on the rule sets: For IOS up-to-date local rule sets will be stored. With that boosters will be immediately valid after first startup. No manual update of the rule-sets is required. Fix on Flip- and Fold-Device Crashes: Flip- and Fold-Devices will no longer crash during scan. With that certificates can now be stored with the latest version of the CovPass and validated with the latest version of the CovPassCheck. Further UI adjustments are planned for upcoming releases. ❗ Attention: Please also check the new announcement “Information about the upcoming version 1.17” for further information about upcoming features and bugfixes. Besides the upcoming features we are planning to adapt the current EU Rules to the new requirements. These updates are mostly independent of our release schedules.
