- Added custom error message when user declines
location authorization when the app is 1st installed
or upgraded. If you need to authorize location later,
on your device goto:
1) Settings
2) Select "Privacy"
3) Select "Location Services"
4) Select "FastFoodApp"
5) Exit & relaunch the app.
Select either "While Using the App" or "Always".
I recommend selecting "While Using the App" since
"FastFoodApp" only need to know your location
while you are using the app.
Some users are getting “stuck” after declining the initial
location prompt & don’t know how to re-enable it!
- Just a reminder for more accurate location
information, the app needs "Precision" to be on
because the app calculates distances between you
and the closes "FastFood" listings.

The backend Linux Services Integrations was the biggest
change to the App! These changes include:
- Implementation of primary & backup services. These
changes enable the App to automatically switch between
primary & backup services in case of an outage. Hopefully
this should minimize any disruptions in the App.
- Implementation of Server Side Configurations. Some
configurations can be implemented from the server without
a full re-deployment of the App.
- Enable/Disable features within the App without a full
re-deployment.

- Fixed bug with “Advance Search” implementation.
When tapping on a autocomplete row, no data ever returns.
The new build fixes this problem.
Also when you type a business listing, the results should be
relevant to your current location.
On the other hand, if you need to find a business listing in a
different city & state than where you are, you can type
something like this: “KFC, sf, ca”.
This should return all “KFC” restaurants in San Francisco.
If you are already in San Francisco, just type “KFC”.
It’s that simple!
