What's new

Every release of the Kitchen app, in reverse-chronological order.

v1.1.0

— Connection reliability & session handling21 May 2026

This release makes the live order connection more resilient and clearer about its current state.

  • Added a session-expired state: when your sign-in is no longer valid the status now reads "Session expired — sign in again" and returns you to the login screen, instead of silently showing as offline.
  • Changed the live connection to send a periodic heartbeat, so dropped or stalled connections are detected and reconnected faster.
  • Changed the connection indicator to clearly distinguish Live, Offline, and session-expired states.
  • Added device reporting (app version, model, and OS) so owners can see which kitchen devices are connected from the dashboard.
  • Fixed login failures to show the actual reason instead of a generic "Connection error" message.
