What's New in ADSBWho
1.2.2
April 16, 2026
Some 1.1 users found that aircraft occasionally slipped past the background proximity alert without so much as a "beep." Turns out iOS had been dozing at the dispatch desk. This update wakes it up. So I skipped 1.2 and went to 1.2.2 straight away (I kept finding more bugs, so I wanted to keep pushing) New in 1.2.2 • Choose your own interval — Background check timer is now configurable: 30 s, 1 min (new default), 2 min, 5 min, or 10 min. Fast movers finally get caught; battery nerds can relax the throttle. • Diagnostics, on demand — Flip on "Show Diagnostics" in Settings → Background Alerts to see exactly when each iOS mechanism last fired, how many aircraft were in range, and why any were suppressed. Leave it off for the clean look. • "Always" location warning — If you've enabled background alerts but haven't granted Always-location, Settings now nudges you (politely) with a tap-through to fix it. No more silent failures. • Debug log, now with a BG category — Every schedule, fire, expire, and proximity summary is captured. Export it and send it our way if something still looks off. Still new to you if you skipped 1.2: seven receivers, one app. ADSBWho isn't picky about who it talks to. As of 1.2 we speak: • tar1090 / dump1090 — the classic JSON feed (default) • SBS-1 (BaseStation) — Kinetic Avionics and anything speaking port 30003 • Beast Binary — raw 0x1A frames from dump1090-fa on port 30005 • AVR / RAW — the old-school text format on port 30002 • GDL 90 — Stratux, SkyEcho, and other UAT receivers (port 4000 UDP) • Virtual Radar Server — the AircraftList.json endpoint for VRS fans • Mictronics readsb-protobuf — native Protocol Buffer decode, no conversion required Mix and match. Save as many sources as you like and hot-swap between them from Settings with a tap. Each one has its own setup guide baked in, plus a "Test Connection" button so you know you're wired up before you walk out the door. Think of it as giving the background service a proper office, a clock, a logbook — and seven different radios to listen on.
