The work on the Pebble 2.0 app for Android continues strongly, with the Beta 10 version being made available this week.

Compared to the previous build the Beta 10 bundles a bunch of improvements including speed upgrades in MyPebble, better connection stability and improved power management. And also add these improvements to the list.

- Installing apps via websockets will now auto launch them; - Improvements to JavaScript launch in many conditions, such as when the watch just lost connection to the phone; - Improvements to pairing during onboarding.

The Beta 10 hopes to help developers deal with known problems such as: - HTML5 localStorage gets shared between apps; - The onboarding process will restart if you enable Accessibility. Workaround: Do not enable accessibility in the onboarding process; - If you are upgrading from a pre-2.0 firmware, you will need to first upgrade your watch to 1.14. Upgrading from earlier version is not fully supported at the moment. (To upgrade your Pebble firmware, please use the Pebble 1.9.6 app available in Google Play).
