In an unexpected move yesterday, Apple released iOS 14 with one days notice. With this update we discovered a bug in Handheld Contact Classic and API versions causing them to crash on launch. This problem did not happen with the Beta versions of IOS14 that we tested on our simulators, so it was exciting to discover this issue in production yesterday. The good news is last night we fixed the issue and submitted updates to Apple, and we confirmed this morning both have been approved and are now...

Well, we're happy to report that Handheld Contact API for Android is now in beta and we expect it to be released in the first half of August (subject to beta feedback, of course).

We wanted to give everyone an update on the Handheld Contact API project. With the new Act! Web API version expected out this Friday (March 13th), we've decided to spend the next week and half testing and optimizing against it before releasing our new mobile product. We could likely wrap this process up sooner, but timing being what it is, we thought it unwise to spend half a year developing a product only to release it during March break. With this in mind, we’re aiming to release the IOS...
