    The problem is actually worse than this. 

    We have userswith limited permissions on cameras who can now see all the other cameras on the server (but not the video feed) in their list.

    This needs to be fixed now.

    Curious to know why so many things have broken/why wasn’t it tested before update was released to the public?

    Probably a good idea that an informer was sent out detailing the list of issues the latest iOS update had as looking at these comments they seem extensive. We were only notified by our customers and would have been good to know about them ourselves first, instead of having egg on our face.

    Hi Adam ,

    I totally agree, and will address this internally.

    Same problem here, on MAC OS and Windows seems to be working, If you create a custom layout in Windows, the customer can see this layout and the cameras in the app, but in the system it shows 0 cameras and the custom layout, and as soon as you select the layout, your customer can operate it. . What is also striking is that if you log in as admin it all seems to work. It is also very annoying that in the overview (when opening the app) all systems show OFFLINE, while if you select them they are still online and can be accessed.

    Dears, 

     

    any update? This is so critical.

    How can't it be rolled back to the previous release version? 

    We can't justify no access to our customers anymore

    The lack of feedback on such a critical issue is so unprofessional.

    Nx product in itself is good but I'm considering not working anymore with NX for customers who need the cloud infrastructure as it often falls.

    All,

    Again , I want to express my sincerest apologies for this issue. I feel your pain. My workload also increased significantly due to this issue and feel the pressure you have as well.

    At this moment, I have no different information than I posted Thursday.

    We anticipate that the updated version will be available in app stores within a matter of days.

    For your information, we can't control the moment of publication, only the moment we upload the builds.

    For Android users, they can sideload the 'old' app by following these instructions:

    https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041546373-Downloading-and-Installing-Nx-Mobile-without-the-Google-Play-Store

    The apk files can be downloaded here:

    https://updates.networkoptix.com/default/37408/android/nxwitness-client-23.2.37408-android_arm32-firebase.apk

    https://updates.networkoptix.com/default/37408/android/nxwitness-client-23.2.37408-android_arm64-firebase.apk

    Before sideloading the application, remove the application from your phone, otherwise it will use the latest version. Obviously, also disable auto-updating the app.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding

    Everyone,

    We anticipate to push new versions within few hours.

    We apologize for the inconvenience. Somehow that version was made through QA( we are doing a homework on it). Moving forward, regardless of QA we changed the process:

    Treat mobile release - more like a cloud release(have an option of urgent rollback).
     
    1) Together with the new version, a rollback version also must be built, smokecheked and used in case of emergency.
    2) Rollback can be triggered by support or product manager.
    3) The release engineer is either available to do a rollback(anytime within a week around the release) or does not start the original release process.

    Sounds like a sensible upgrade to the release process - thank you.

    Hey, everyone 
    I'm the Director of Product here @ Nx. Sorry I haven't posted here earlier, but our co-founder & CTO did and I had nothing to add at that moment. + I was dealing with this situation and post-mortems internally.

    So that you know -- we took this very seriously and had many discussions on process changes and how not to not let this happen in the future. Main changes were outlined by Sergey earlier. 

    We also understand the root cause is a significant code revamp that we did in preparation for 6.0, which is in Beta now, but it is not an excuse. We should do more internal testing when there are bigger changes in the code. Also, one additional problem we identified is the lack of beta testing for our mobile clients. Although we do them, they don't get enough adoption/usage.
    As a product team, we'll try to invest more in this moving forward.

    We have such plans for improvements on all levels (Product, QA, Dev), so I'm confident we will significantly minimize the chances of such incidents. And even if they happen, rollback will be one click away to minimize the impact.

    Thank you for the frank and open reply.

    It is a PITA and embarrassing when product fails for customers BUT I understand that there is a price to pay for a product that is being developed and getting better all the time so please sign me up for beta testing and keep adding the features that we need to make us better than the other vendors out there.
