🔑 The DP3T SDK version 1.2.1 solved a bug to make exposure detections work again on iOS 13.7 and iOS 14.

The App Store version of Radar COVID should be updated ASAP.

Hi According to https://as.com/meristation/2020/10/09/betech/1602269850_371869.html only 10 % of the population has downloaded the app. That was in October, how is the situation now, and where can I get actual information? thanks and regards

Uwe Brauer

I installed the App at the end of Aug 2020.

The exposure Api was working fine. I checked in Setttings -> Privacy. and I was a happy user. The app wasn't updated in App Store from Aug 20 until Sep 16

Exposure Notification Express on iOS 13.7

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/exposurenotification/supporting_exposure_notifications_express A few days ago, iOS 13.7 update enhanced behaviour of the exposure Api. To support several country apps it moves the setting to a new place and allows to use more than one country specific app. So when you travel the exposure app automatically select the appropriate app based on location. Also brings a export option of the exposure checks.

The issue

When I have seen today the exposure checks I realise that I didn't have notifications since a week ago even when I didn't change anything. I still had bluetooth enabled, I sill have the app installed. I didn't made any change on my side. Something has changed. It could be on the RadarCovid servers or it could be that the update of Apple to support worldwide covid Apps had broken something. Maybe the apps need to be updated to interact with the exposure notification express api to see if they are in charge of notifications.

My exposure checks JSON

I attach my exposure checks json ExposureChecks-2020-09-17.json.zip I kindly suggest to other members of GitHub to check (or export) their exposure checks json and verify if there is notification since the iOS 13.7 update. I would like that the issue only affects to me, but it could be possible that affects other users.

Hi I asked this on https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-backlog/issues/14#issuecomment-691527556 and that was the answer The test phase starts with the country which are able to implement the connection to the EU gateway from their side at this time. Every EU country with an implemented connection can use the the gateway immediately. We have no influence on the implementation of the Spain app.

so why does radar covid does not implement this connection. Spain depends very much on tourists, so it is in its own interest regards Uwe Brauer

Hi,

While Contact Tracing works ok and show the positive contact, Radar Covid tell me 'Sin contactos de riesgo identificados'

--> IOS 14.01 / latest version of Radar Covid

The latest update uploaded to the App Store, which version is 1.0.6, is using the pre-production backend, which is not intended and will cause the app to not work for anybody who updates to this 1.0.6 version.

Pre-production must not be in an App Store update which is intended to be spread to all final users. This needs to target production server. This is an urgent issue that must be resolved quickly because the app will not work if everyone update to the latest version.

To prevent more users to update to this in the next hours and prevent another "kind-of virus spread", you just can:

1. Remove the app from sale, this will hide the app
2. Submit immediately a new update with the latest version or the new version targetting production server
3. Re-enable the app from sale on iTunes Connect

You need to make a new build targetting production servers as you have on this file: https://github.com/RadarCOVID/radar-covid-ios/blob/develop/RadarCovid/Config/Config.swift

Update: They're aware of the issue. I've contacted them and they told me that they have fixed it server side and also pushed a new urgent update to AppStore.

There is a jailbreak detection in place which I don't understand the purpose of. Jailbreak detection should be disabled to work in as many devices as possible (in fact, I'm not using it because of this issue)

If jailbreak detection is mandatory please explain why.

Sharing the diagnosis with other EU apps should be the default option.

It seems that currently the default option is to only share it with Radar COVID users:

I don’t understand this design choice, IMHO it seems like a dark design pattern. I would even argue that there should not be a choice at all to restrict the diagnosis to only Radar COVID users (a simple notice should be sufficient), but if it has to be there, it should not be the default one for multiple reasons:

• Some users will not read or understand the choice.
• Some users will think that if there is a choice and it is not the default there should be something bad about it.
• Some users may think they only have to select the EU apps option if they have traveled to other countries. This is not true, it is important to alert users of EU apps visiting Spain.
• Deference to other EU apps which have been sharing all their diagnoses with the EFGS.

Also, as there is no longer a way to retrieve TEKs shared from Radar COVID without being merged with other EFGS TEKs nor public statistics, the community cannot measure how problematic this design decision is (ie. the fraction of users which have not opted in sharing the diagnosis with EU apps).

NOTE: I have only tested this behavior with the iOS app but I suppose it also applies to the Android app as well.

Hi I installed the app in 1. July, but went to germany, since a week I am back, but last update according to the app is 1.7.2020 (I attach the screenshots), 2 friends of mine have update, 1.9.2020 which is also bad the other has 15.9.2020 which seems better I also looked up in (using iOs 13.7) Exposure Notifcation (new in 13.7)--> Exposure Logging Status-->Exposure Checks:

There I see sort of activity Matched Key Count 0 BUT no daily keys were downloaded I germany I obtained every day up to 5000 keys (and no match) Something is not right here. Any advice is strongly appreciated regards Uwe Brauer ExposureChecks-2020-09-16-json.txt

Hola,

I have this statement inside my iPhone :

I see as well this in the exposure.json:

{
      "Timestamp" : "2021-01-06 00:29:09 +0100",
      "Files" : [
        {
          "Hash" : "-----xxxxxFBB43",
          "KeyCount" : 355502,
          "AppBundleIdentifier" : "es.gob.radarcovid",
          "Timestamp" : "2021-01-06 00:29:12 +0100"
        }
      ],
      "AppBundleIdentifier" : "es.gob.radarcovid"
    }

but I don't see any risk of exposure in the Radar App.
I am curious to know which version of the Exposure Notification Framework / the Exposure Notification System RADAR is using?

Version 1 or 2?

En estos momentos en el que la lucha contra el COVID-19 es esencial en nuestro país no tiene sentido que se haya diseñado a nivel técnico y funcional la aplicación con una restricción tan básica como obligar a los usuarios a disponer de, al menos, la versión 13.5 de iOS para poder hacer un uso de una aplicación en estos tiempos tan esencial como es esta.

Sé que el motivo técnico que se argumenta de forzar la compatibilidad a iOS 13.5 como mínimo es usar la API de Apple para la notificaciones de detección.

Si Apple, por algún motivo que no ha hecho público, desea forzar la obsolescencia programada de los dispositivos con excusa de su API para notificaciones de exposición y detección, esto no es motivo que de cara a un diseño funcional de la aplicación se fuerce a los usuarios a actualizar los dispositivos Hardware en estos momentos, con el impacto económico que ello conlleva. Recordemos que en estos momentos la gran cantidad de población que se encuentra en paro o ERTES en España con motivo del COVID-19.

Además, hemos de recordar que la prensa ya se ha hecho eco de las limitaciones de la aplicación dejando un gran volumen de dispositivos fuera del alcance y uso de la misma, limitando de gran manera la efectividad que puede tener la aplicación ya que, para que pueda tener los resultados que se esperan de ella, es necesario que se la instalen una amplia mayoría de los usuarios.

Por todo lo expuesto, solicito un replanteamiento de los requisitos funcionales de la aplicación para que, se tenga en cuenta dispositivos que no están soportados y de manera paralela se trabaje con otro protocolo que al menos permita a esos usuarios poder acceder a las notificaciones, tal y como se ha realizado en otras aplicaciones similares de otros países como la del NHS del Reino Unido, COVIDSafe de Australia, o en otros modelos de éxito en el uso y despliegue de este tipo de aplicaciones como es el de Corea del Sur o China.

Hi

The German corona warn app, https://github.com/corona-warn-app allows to import the QR code of a complete vaccination. In fact I was vaccintated in Spain and could successfully imported the QR code provided by the «ministerio de salud» https://cvd.sanidad.gob.es/cvdcovid/cvdcovid-formulario/index.xhtml

So could that feature also please be implemented for the Radar Covid App??? regards

Uwe Brauer

Currently the app does not show any statistics, save the downloads and uploaded positive test results. It does, however, provide link to the official websites.

These sites are not very suited for a mobile device and slow to load, so could the app provide the statistical data in some parts of the app. I attach screenshots from the German Corona-Warn-App to make clear what I have in mind.

Thanks

Uwe Brauer

Apparently some people are reporting that, after reporting their positive through the app, it cannot return to its normal state. Therefore, they stop sharing identifiers with other terminals, leaving the system unusable.

Some even indicate that this behavior has not been corrected in months.

Trying to look at unit tests for a way to test this functionality, I find that they are completely out of date and in fact not working due to a dependency on RxSwift.

On the other hand, it seems that the configuration server gives 72 hours of grace to go from an .infected state to a .healthy state. This is confirmed by the configuration of the TimeBetweenStatesDto model

Being impossible to test in a unitary way, I find that the file ExpositionUseCase.swift contains this expression (line 112), when the current state is .infected:

if expositionInfo.since == nil {
    expositionInfo.since = Date ()
}

Without documentation or some unit tests to track the functionality, I cannot say anything definitively, but this expression can end in an infinite cycle of .infected state, especially since this data is being saved in UserDefaults.

Could this be the reason why once a positive has been reported, the app is no longer usable?

EDIT: Here's some more documentation about the problem. Capture taken today 05/01/2021. App has been deleted and reinstalled

EDIT 2: The user reports that, once the old contact records have been manually deleted from Settings > Exposure Notifications, the application can be activated again.

Perhaps this procedure should be explained directly in the app, or we should be able to delete the records directly from it to avoid confusion.

Hi I cloned the repository in November, but when I pulled yesterday I obtained the following error Removing RadarCovid/Application/JailBreakDetect.swift Auto-merging README.md CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in README.md Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

I run git fsck and obtained

dangling blob 32a1f36623b690a4e761c06f76d0bef514bc4201

I cloned the repository again and then everything was fine.

Hi

the German Corona Warn has a wishlist page:

Wish list One important feature seems to be a contact diary

See please
