Hey friends, We just rolled out a new release which has the Android apps to target at API level 26 (Android 8.0). In order to support API level 26, we had to make changes to some of our components and add support libraries. These updates are still pretty new and we are expecting bugs, especially if your app is using any third-party extension. We are planning to fix bugs as soon as we find them. Thank you for staying with us during this transition period. Best, Thunkable Team _ **August 7 2018 Update:** _ We just shipped a new release to the production servers and you need a new companion (v340). The latest release fixed the following - Button background none color should be transparent now Setting the app theme to classic won’t crash the app Best, Thunkable Team ---

Thats a great news but while I was in middle of making my app, It turned in a different look. Some of new feature is most needed and some are too bad for my app concept. ---

Thanks a lot for the release guys! Been waiting to release a new app since they changed the API level requirement. Much appreciated! If they aren’t noticed already, I’ve found a couple of issues: - The updated Thunkable app doesn’t download apk from QR codes (but you can copy the link into a browser) - The “Classic” theme seems to crash apps on opening ---

I have noticed a change. Color theme of notifier dialog is now white and text is in pink. Is there anyway I can change it? ---

I’ve noticed one color related issue too. Whenever I tried to change text color of label,button to black it automatically changes to default. It always changes to default. Problem comes when the theme is set to device default,then the color varied from white and black on different devices. ---

Hello Team, After API upgrade. Would you mind review why all buttons with colors-none are reverted to white bg colors. Thanks in Adv Abdul ---

Hi, After this recent upgrade I besides the already mentioned problems with colors and shadows I also noticed a discrepancy in sizing for some components (labes a buttons in particular). Even though I set them to fill parent or put 10 in row and set each to 10%, they overflow a non scrollable arrangement. Might be a similar issue as experienced **B\_Hdez**.
