v26.04.019 — Pager-style alert playback, VoIP push gating, manual scanner improvements

on GitHub

What's New

Mobile — Pager-style alert playback

• Per-talkgroup and per-tone-set toggle to enable pager-style audio playback when the app is backgrounded
• When enabled, the app fetches and plays the call audio natively in the background after the push notification arrives — no app interaction needed
• Uses a native serial audio queue on both Android (MediaPlayer via SingleThreadExecutor) and iOS (AVAudioPlayer via a serial DispatchQueue): multiple simultaneous alerts are queued and played one after another rather than overlapping or cutting each other off
• Duplicate callId deduplication in the native queue: if tone-alert and keyword-alert fire for the same call, only one playback is queued

Server — Pager-alert preference persistence

• pagerAlert and toneSetPagerAlerts columns added to userAlertPreferences (auto-migrated on startup)
• GET /api/alerts/preferences now returns both fields; PUT /api/alerts/preferences saves them — toggles survive app restarts

Server — VoIP/PushKit push gating

• APNs VoIP pushes are now only sent when the notification is a real pager-alert call
• Regular test pushes, disconnect alerts, and keyword-only alerts no longer trigger the CallKit UI on iOS

Server — Test endpoint respects user toggles

• TestPagerAlertHandler no longer bypasses per-device pager-alert settings

Mobile — Manual scanner URL handling

• URL field now requires an explicit http:// or https:// prefix — no auto-detection or port scanning
• "Server Found" (green) / "Not Found" (red) badge appears inline on the Scanner URL label after detection
• v6 server password field is always optional with a note: "Login credentials may be required"
• v7+ email and password fields are also optional — scanner can be added without credentials

Server — Disconnect push improvements

• Disconnect push notification is now sent to FCM (mobile) devices regardless of whether another web session is still active
• In-app disconnect beep (3 beeps) only plays when live feed is active in the mobile app
