Android troubleshooting

The following Help information is also available from the App Center Download screen.

While installing the app on Android, I get a security warning

Chrome on Android 8 or higher:

  1. Click Settings on that dialog.

While installing the app, I get a “There was a problem parsing the package” error

This error could be caused by a number of issues related to the downloaded file or package.

Accessibility

The Skedulo mobile app v3 has been redesigned for better readability, navigation, and consistency - with enhanced layouts, larger text sizes, heavier font weights, and more contrasting colors.

This article includes the current list of supported accessibility features, with more features to be included in future releases.

Color contrast

All text passes minimum WCAG AA standards - with a contrast ratio of at least 4:5:1
(https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html).

Text resizing

Skedulo mobile app V3 respects the device’s Accessibility settings for large and dynamic font resizing.

Platform UI and controls

The new Skedulo mobile app uses native patterns and standard elements with already built-in accessibility support where possible.

The app supports larger controls, such as larger buttons, with larger tappable areas, and adequate spacing around elements.

Dark mode

Skedulo mobile app v3 supports dark mode based on the user’s device settings. This can be beneficial for users with low vision and light sensitivity.

Refreshing the app to update data on the screen

You can refresh or reload the app content on the Agenda and Notifications screens using the pull-to-refresh or swipe-to refresh action.

To do this, touch the top of the screen, drag down, then release.

Localization settings

The Skedulo mobile app displays language and date/time format based on your device’s localization settings.
