"The Silph Road team is traveling today, but here's the "express edition" of our APK teardown of v0.63.4!"

#PokemonGO: Hey travelers,These APK updates always drop at inopportune times! I'm currently sitting on an airplane waiting for a "jet bridge" to be located so we can deplane. hahaBut nevertheless, we've taken a first pass through the APK in the meantime and here's what's new in this small update!PTC Login Exception HandlingNew changes has appeared that indicate a new system for handling PTC login errors has been added. A new exception container now appears to more gracefully handle issues, and there is a new system tied closer to Unity - but details are scant.Android Version VariablesWe're not entirely sure whether these have any significance, but there are now variables for each major Android version:AndroidSdkGetVersionNumberVERSION_KITKATVERSION_LOLLIPOPVERSION_MARSHMALLOWThis may simply be an artifact from a Unity update, or it may be used to better handle or report bugs. But we can't say with the information we have available.Parting WordsAnd that's it!This really does look to be simply a bug fix update, which we expected due to the imminent larger update.These changes may have something to do with anti-bot measures, but more likely they're simply to help PTC accounts reduce connectivity issues. Hopefully this will help our PTC-clad travelers have a better go of things!We haven't had a chance to examine the graphic assets for changes, travelers, but we don't anticipate any. We'll post an update if we find any later today.In the meantime, we're looking forward to the gym update!Travel safe,- Executive Dronpes - via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2sxQzvg
