Do NOT Update the App.

There's apparently a serious bug in the new update which messes with your ability to access the daily assignments or event tasks, or gives you a continual restart error.

(I updated the assets and can no longer collect the daily (unclear if that's on my end or server side, the communication is spotty. But! If you update the app as well, then you get the restart error.)

Niantic are... aware and are advising users not to download the update, just not anywhere people are likely to look for the information, because that would be boring.

Anywhoodles, I'll let you know when they come up with a patch. 😘

Yeah, I tried a couple of TFTDs and made next to no progress. I can adapt to the wrong colour flares (it was stupid, but alright), but no traces when it's a requirement for a task? Just a waste of time and resources. The next ones were only going to get worse, because you'll almost definitely need them there as well, and they're usually the rarer traces to boot.
