Game Updates
Some of these changes may have been reflected in releases between 2.14 and 2.15 and therefore may already be reflected in the app.
Potions
- Added the ability to purchase Potions directly from the Potion selection menu during Encounters and Wizarding Challenges.
General
- Bug fixes for general app stability and visual issues
- iOS 14 Support
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue affecting the SOS Training Node: Knowledge Transfer. Players who completed Knowledge Transfer were not receiving Inn Charm charges from Treasure Trunks
- Fixed an issue with threat level visual effects on Traces that appear on the Map
- Made text revisions to the Trace Charm Expertise page
- Fixed a visual issue affecting the Magicum Vitae that cuts off the text for the Tonic for Trace Detection Potion bonus

Are there other Node fixes other than Knowledge Transfer. What about Herd Immunity? We've been waiting months for that to be fixed. We spent a lot of resources getting to it and then it hasn't unlocked. It should be in this update!
How about a way to switch your profession while you’re in queue for the knight bus? Say you’re the 3rd magic zoo but you’d like to switch to be a professor or an auror to balance the chamber.
you can’t do that without losing everybody you’re in there with. A profession switch button would be awesome there.
Guess I can wait for the release to see, but I hope this fixes the issue where I have to switch professions and back to get my maxed profession back up to its high number, after completing SoS nodes.
How about fixing the inn rewards?
So this was basically just waiting for iOS, not fixing your bugged tree.
Y'all fixed the knight bus (again) at least I hope?
How is this a major patch update? I think this should be called 2.14.2. Or 2.14.0.3
You're essentially fixing wordings and bugs from 2. 14 that aren't working as intended.
fix the trace charm, now its (nerfed) and bugged.
Still no fix for waypoints (inns, greenhouses, and fortresses) syncing to hpwu. We are missing out on tens of thousands of new waypoints, that would be of great benefit to the players, during the pandemic. You would thin it that this would be a high priority, since waypoints are a core feature of Niantic's AR and what this game is built on!
Nah. Priority was to allow people to buy potions when tracing or battling.
When is the daily progress bug going to be fixed? The one where no tasks are marked done if you don’t open the list? It’s especially bothersome during events when that page doesn’t open by default.
Re the Trace Charm fiasco...if you're worried about players advancing too fast, why don't you increase the maximum Wizarding Level to 100, and adding Platinum pages to the Registry. Simple solutions that would. make all your disgruntled players happy, and generate lots of Gold purchases for you. A Win-Win!
And, add in the missing parts of the Achievements that cannot be completed.
I'm confused. In May, you made changes to the Registry pages that made it easier for players to Prestige pages, and advance in the game. Now, you're complaining that the Trace Charm is making it too easy for players to advance in the game?
Please explain. And, while you're at it, bring back the original Trace Charm features.
So just want to get this right, you were able to "correct" the trace charm features, fixed the text, but couldn't fix the additional fragment issues proficiency? Not sure how you guys run your dev team but maybe consider hiring a project manager to address how you set priorities.
The Trace charm has fixed. The case has already been closed by Niantic like a greenstars. Move on everybody.
I would like to gently suggest that the policy of playing chicken with the user base by blocking beta OSs in a way that requires an app update to change is not in the best interests of you or your users.
Assuming you cannot be dissuaded from having a Beta block, you should at least consider a data-driven one instead of a hard coded one. As it is, people who replace their devices or who download the upgrade without coming here (which I assume may be many users) will have a bad experience. It is an unfortunate but unavoidable truth that sometimes attempts to race to the app store will be met with delays, issues, or unexpected rejections. If you were controlling your blocking feature via on-line data, you wouldn't have to worry about the App store approval process.
Regardless of method, I suggest you revisit your policy of blocking betas. It will clearly cause real harm in this instance. And you may find that it does you no good in any other case. You could, if you felt you needed to, restrict (or deny) support for users of Beta OSes. That is the only difference I've seen in all the apps I have on my devices. It was a very easy Beta period, except for your game.
Thanks for listening.
We started the 2.15.0 release process today but hit a roadblock that slowed things down. We are pausing the deploy for now and we will resume releasing the update tomorrow and provide more information then. In the meantime, the app will not be compatible with iOS 14.
Can you please at least be honest about the "compatibility"? Apple didn't change any APIs that cause the game to crash, you made a choice to consider iOS beta versions in the same category as jailbroken devices, and you completely whiffed on fixing it in time.
Is there any extension on the event for those unable to use the app because we updated to ios14?
Wished had known soon. Can’t play except on wi-fi on old iPhone. Can’t really finish event very easy. Can only play from home a live in country. Very sad.
The app does not work for iOS 14. Thanks for nothing
Could You please Tell us when we Can expect the Update
It works for me on iOS 14
Not updated yet in my location.
Any news on the update? Still unavailable for me.
Any update on the release of the update? My husband updated my phone (thought he was being helpful) when the 14 beta was released in July(?) Haven’t been able to play effectively since. I’ve been using my iPad but active sync doesn’t work for IPad. I missed out on all those dragon eggs :(
You gotta be kidding. There is an event going on and you just keep on delaying the patch that can fix this. I need green books since they are event exclusive and you are making me waste time. I could’ve completed the part im on and moved to the next with all this waiting. Stop messing up this kind of things on top of events. Be prepared for it in beforehand. Da ****? Is that so difficult for a company that has 3 games like this? Just thinking that phone brands release new updates and you have to be ahead of the situation so your costumer base doesn’t suffer? Unbelievable, seriously. This is definitely the worst I had from NIA.
Hope support for ios14 comes today? Been a lot of nonsense the last few months with this game. Sad when one puts a lot in it and I really enjoy the game. ❤️. Love from Norway.
Did I get that correctly?? You are pausing the update release???? And will only continue tomorrow??? SERIOUSLY???
I think it is time for me to find another game to spend my money, non-Niantic!
Still no fix???
So this is interesting. I just got a notification that my tonic for trace detection has finished brewing. I’m on iOS 14 iPhone 11 Pro and can’t open the app but something is running in the background.
I've had an Apple Dev account for quite awhile - I decided to go with the public beta for iOS 14/iPadOS14. If such a thing as a public beta exists, then popular apps, especially ones backed by WB and all of their money, should have programmers making it available for use with said betas.
In this particular instance, I lucked out by having an Android phone and have been able to ride out the time using that. And the game continues to be quite buggy. As noted by Snarkour, "[...]Apple didn't change any APIs that cause the game to crash, you made a choice to consider iOS beta versions in the same category as jailbroken devices, and you completely whiffed on fixing it in time."
Then 2.15 release notes are published, before it is available. I never thought I'd miss CG, but c'mon Niantic, please do better. Hire more programmers for HPWU. This is amateur hour.
