I have been waiting all morning for my iPhone to see that the SmartThings needs updated. Does anyone know of a way to force it to update?? I cant hardly wait any more. ---

@slagle Ahh okay must have missed that. Freaking pacific timeā€¦ @smart Ron, I thought you were in Germany?? Heck it will be after supper by the time you get it. Ole @pstuart and I stuck here in central time. Are there any new controls or features we can use in our custom device types?? Iā€™m close to submitting a custom device type in fact I have submitted it but MichaelM asked that I wait two weeks since they were busy getting Hub 2 out. I now wonder if I need to go back and update everything to take advantage of the new interface?? I knew something was coming but I didnā€™t know it was this big. The thing I want to do with my custom device type that I canā€™t today is prompt the user with a ā€œAre you Sureā€ pop up after they push a button. Thanks!! ---

central time folks are always forgottenā€¦ Always have to do math when I hear a time stated. ---

Are we there yet šŸ˜‰ Itā€™s 15 minutes past. Seriously though it can take up to 3-4 hrs to propagate to the AppStore. ---

Based on PDT, isnā€™t it already supposed to be available as of 15 min ago? I just checked, no new app yetā€¦ someone needs to tell Apple to get it together! ---

Rollouts are phased. Takes time to hit all devices. ---

Cā€™mon guys. Itā€™s after 12pm Pacific. That could be 11:59pm tonight. ---

As an iOS dev, I can tell you now, that ā€œdev releaseā€ at noon PDT, means that it will most likely be available after 2 or 2:30 and even then, it will be a staged rollout. Plus, when people do start downloading it they are going to slam the servers playing around with all the ā€œnewā€ features. My plan? Update it Sunday after everyone else has updated and spent Saturday trying to bring down the servers. ---

LOL, seriously? This isnā€™t clash of clonesā€¦ Itā€™s a simple app to download. Replacing the existing one. If the servers canā€™t handle a simple rollout, there should be major concerns. Yes, it takes a few hours to roll out to all devices. ---

Lies and flim flam I tell you. I bet they all had a bet going on how long they could keep us on trying to update the app. ---
