Android 11 Migration
From November 2021, all apps updated on Google Play must target at least Android 11.
What does this mean for WatchMaker?
Up until now, WatchMaker saved all watch files and images into legacy storage (/sdcard/BeautifulWatches).
Legacy storage (/sdcard/<app-name>) will not be readable by apps from November 2021 onwards (except File Managers).
Therefore WatchMaker 7.2.0 will migrate all of your watch and image files automatically from legacy to scoped storage next time you launch the app.
After the migration is complete, the app will restart once and then you can continue using the app as normal.
A similar process will happen on your Wear OS watch next time you launch the app on your watch.
You can still see the WatchMaker application files in scoped storage (path may be something like /sdcard/Android/data/slide.watchFrenzy/files)
In addition, imported fonts and watches must now be selecting using the Android 11 file picker.
What does this mean for me?
You are advised to update to WatchMaker 7.2.0 before November so that your files can be migrated smoothly.
If you skip versions and wait for WatchMaker 7.2.1 the migration will force you to select migration folders manually and will take much longer to complete as updates released after November will no longer have access to legacy storage.
