General info
- Sprint 7 from Oct 25th to Nov 4th
- Participants Development Sprint: Francisco, Isabel, Sam and Maria to review the technical tasks done and pending to do for Sprint 6.
- Links of interest:
Sprint objectives
- Be ready for the Mozfest and have the app up and running to show the new Virtual Beacon experience in Magnet
- Finish the pending work in iOS
- Test and verify the USs pending from last sprint regarding to Virtual beacons (Bug fixing)
- Get feedback for people (light research). It would be nice to have a feedback form, for users and also for storytellers
- In the client side all the work for Subscriptions and Channel
- Add subscriptions database for iOS and android
- Server side/Metadata server
- Embellish/replace metadata with the 'extra_metadata' returned from the content service:
- We would need those fields included (e.g the image for Uncovering and London History Group) to be able to show the tile correctly (important for Mozfest)
- Adding the call to actions to the metadata response so in next sprint we can implement the UI relative to this feature
- We would need to change the client as it's getting the tengam URL instead of the pm0 but Sam proposes to return the full shortened URL, including host when returning beacon info
- UI for channels subscriptions and the main view, we would need specs during this week to be able to implement it in time
Magnet Client Flow for Virtual Beacons
User Stories committed for this sprint
| Task | Assigned | Status | Status Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| When I have a spare moment and I’m curious, I want to be informed about Points of Interest around me, so I can decide whether to investigate further. | Done (moved from Sprint 6) | We need to ensure that we are able to discover Physical and Virtual beacons. | |
| As a user when I pass into a GPS point of interest that I am not subscribed to via any channel, I should receive a silent notification | Ongoing | Scanner method has changed. Now the scanner starts when a significant change in the position is detected. Then if there are beacons around, the notification will be received. It will appear in the utility tray as an ‘m’.
If user does not change the position although there is new content around, he will not be notified. Only opening the app will discover the new content.
| |
| As a Product Manager I will be able to check that the statistics already implemented for Physical Web beacons are available for GPS beacons | Ongoing | Although it's done it has not been verified until a bug in iOS can be fixed | |
| When I’ve been through the onboarding experience, I want to select some Channels of interest, so that I can be alerted when I pass by interesting content. | Done | We are right now testing it | |
| When I pass by a point of interest that’s relevant to me, I want to be notified about the POI, even if the application is in the background, so I don’t miss finding out information | Ongoing | Move to Sprint 8 as the iOS part i sot ready yet. | |
| When I am receiving too many notifications or notifications for points of interest that don’t interest me, I would like to deregister my interest in a channel so that I stop receiving notifications from that channel. | Done | We are right now testing it |

Issues during this sprint
- Revision of the tasks pending at the end of the sprint (Nov 7th), all of them have to be fixed/finished so were moved to the next Sprint (Sprint 8):
- Subscribed notifications (ios): on revision, it will be landed during the day (Nov 7th)
- No silent notifications in iOS when new GPS/virtual beacons is around: it will trigger when many circumstances meet, we need to reconsider the notifications that we are going to use and if it makes sense to maintain the silent notifications
- Issues discovered in iOS that are pending to be fixed (previous to the Virtual Beacon implementation)
- Event action 'app-launch-from-notification' is not recorded for iOS
- No warning message to enable bluetooth if it was off while the app was in background (iOS)
- First iteration of the POI view: on revision, it will be landed during the day (Nov 7th)
Demos
During this sprint we committed to implement the subscription/unsubscription of the channels and also the buzz notifications of the POIs I am interested/subscribed to when I pass by a point of interest. Here you have the demo videos that show the development of these features for Android and iOS.
- Buzz Notifications in Android video
- Buzz Notifications in iOS video
