Hi geteduroam-list,

I'm happy to share we plan to release the new Android, ChromeOS and iOS 
versions of geteduroam to production in the Play and App store (very) 
soon. These are entirely redeveloped and redesigned version of the Apps.

If you want a preview, you can join the beta via the Play store:

Join via Android: 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.eduroam.geteduroam
Join via the web: 
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.eduroam.geteduroam

And for iOS/macOS, the TestFlight is at: https://edu.nl/d7hv3

As mentioned in other channels/meetings, we worked hard on new 
geteduroam releases this year. At TNC we shared the first TestFlight for 
iOS and macOS, and a version of the Linux CLI. Last week we shared the 
first open beta of the Android App. Meanwhile the eduroam community 
helped translate to various languages and we'll include as many as 
possible in the release but we plan to release updates more frequently 
anyway.

With the beta last week we fixed a couple of issues, and I believe we 
have no showstoppers anymore. The Android App works faster on most 
devices and better on devices with limited screen resolution. (We're 
still investigating a speed issue for Android 8 that affects few users. 
But it works very well on Android Go for instance, and is in general 
more resource-friendly.) The iOS App has been very stable for a long 
time without any issues. We did a lot of testing on all of these clients. *)

Please mail geteduroam AT eduroam.org if you want to mail about issues, or 
feel free to contact (or DM) me directly.

For Windows and macOS we plan to have new releases too shortly. Windows 
will include support for ARM in a separate version, is also redeveloped 
from the ground up and includes the new theming. The macOS App will 
assist the user in the installation of a .mobileconfig profile, 
unfortunately macOS still doesn't have the proper support to configure 
WiFi natively.

Regards,
Paul

*) We are aware of some issues with both the old and new geteduroam 
Apps, that seem to affect certain brands. We need to find out what 
profile combination exactly affects these brands, and can then exclude 
the configurations from the App.
