Version 0.9: Beta MR1 (Early Access)

Overview

This is the first openly available release of the Oppia Android app. Anyone can opt into the beta program and install the app on their Android device. Burndown milestone: https://github.com/oppia/oppia-android/milestone/25.

This release brings the following features & changes:

• Support for translations outside the core lesson (now, all pieces of content support translations though not all text is translated yet).
• Support for showing the Oppia Terms of Service and Privacy Policy within the app for easy access.
• Notices for when users first open a beta version of the app.
• Better support when selecting an in-app reading text size.
• A new splash screen that represents the current flavor of the app install (e.g. 'beta').
• A new app icon.
• A new flow for resetting all profile data (in the event that the administrator forgets their PIN).
• Improvements to the onboarding flow (specifically, making it less confusing for a user to enter a lesson).
• Support for Brazilian Portuguese being a default audio language.
• Various accessibility and dark mode improvements.

Note that this release has temporarily dropped support for Multiplication, Expressions and Equations, and Percentages since they are not yet available with complete Brazilian Portuguese translations. Beta releases moving forward will only include topics that are fully translated to English and Brazilian Portuguese (other languages are currently best effort).

The production version of this release is set to expire on 30 June 2023.
