# What’s New – Next Version

Summary of changes for the upcoming release.

---

## Streaming & Camera

- **Stream no longer rotates when you turn the phone**  
  Camera orientation is set once when you go live and is not updated when the device rotates. The stream stays fixed (same as the on-screen preview).

- **iPad camera no longer sideways**  
  Preview and stream now use the same orientation (0°) on both iPhone and iPad, so the camera appears right-side up on iPad.

- **Stream continues after phone calls and notifications**  
  When a call or system interruption pauses the capture session, the app resumes it automatically when the interruption ends so the stream can continue without you having to restart it.

- **Do Not Disturb reminder (Game Setup)**  
  New option in **Game Setup → Streaming**: “Do Not Disturb reminder.” When it’s on, tapping **Go Live** shows a reminder to enable Do Not Disturb (Control Center or Settings > Focus) so calls and notifications are less likely to interrupt your stream. The app cannot enable DND for you; it only reminds.

---

## Scoreboard

- **Position and Move in one place**  
  Scoreboard **Position & Move** (arrows, step size, X/Y, Reset, Set Default) is now in a single section inside the main scoreboard menu. No separate “Position” → “Move” flow; one menu for all devices.

- **Scoreboard default sizes restored**  
  When streaming from the iOS camera, the scoreboard is rendered at 1280×720 so its size and position match the previous behavior (same as when the scoreboard used the Screen pipeline).

- **Removed on-screen rotation debug**  
  The “Device: portrait → Camera: 0° (fixed)” text under the LIVE badge has been removed.

- **Removed “Position Changed” console logs**  
  The repeated “Position Changed” / offset logs from the scoreboard effect have been removed.

---

## App Store & Privacy

- **Removed tracking usage description**  
  `NSUserTrackingUsageDescription` was removed from both app Info.plist files so the app no longer declares tracking. This resolves the App Store Connect requirement to complete the App Privacy “tracking” section. Create a new build and upload it for review.

---

## Website (for your VPS)

- **Privacy Policy page**  
  `website/privacy-policy.html` – Single HTML file, same content as the in-app Privacy Policy. Upload to your site (e.g. `https://yourdomain.com/privacy-policy.html`).

- **Terms of Service page**  
  `website/terms-of-service.html` – Single HTML file, same content as the in-app Terms of Service. Same styling as the privacy page. Upload (e.g. `https://yourdomain.com/terms-of-service.html`).

---

## Technical (no user-facing change)

- **Orientation:** No more device-orientation observer or 0.2s timer; orientation is applied once when streaming starts.
- **Interruption:** `AVCaptureSession` `wasInterrupted` / `interruptionEnded` observers added for the preview session; on end we call `startRunning()` again after a 0.5s delay when still streaming.
- **Cleanup:** Interruption observers are removed whenever the preview session is torn down.

---

*Update the “Last updated” date in the app’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service views if you ship this version in a different month.*
