"The Silph Road's APK Teardown of v111.4 is complete! Last Resort, GO+ Debugging Efforts, Special Quests for Minors, and ...Exclusive Quests?"

#PokemonGO: Alright travelers,The Silph Road team has dug into this minor version update v111.4 to see what's been added. Nothing too major - but let's dive in and see what's changed!1. The Eevee Community Day Move: LAST RESORTAs expected, Eevee's missing Community Day move has been officially added to the APK's move dictionary.Along with it, several small image assets were added that we believe will be utilized in the move's visual effects.This means a server-side change is all that's needed to enable the move!2. New Types of Research Task ActionsTwo new types of Research tasks have been added:SEND_GIFTEVOLVE_INTO_POKEMONThese will likely begin to appear in Research tasks soon in various combinations! Keep an eye out.3. New Research Task ConditionsAlong with the new actions above, a new Research 'condition' has been added:DAYS_IN_A_ROWThis is added to familiar existing conditions like WITH_UNIQUE_POKESTOP and WITH_SUPER_EFFECTIVE_CHARGE.Alongside this change, we see several new references to your DailyCounter throughout the metadata.We expect that some Research tasks or even Special Research may be predicated on daily bonuses, etc in the future!4. New Research 'Pre-Conditions'This is one of the more interesting discoveries in this APK! Two new curious Research pre-conditions (or qualifications) were added to the APK:IS_MINOREXCLUSIVE_QUESTSBoth of these could be very impactful. Quests specifically for minors could allow content otherwise gated to adult players to become accessible to <13y/o players! This may become increasingly important as more Research tasks and even potentially evolutions require Trading moving forward.As for Exclusive Quests ... that's a new addition we're excited to see. No other hints yet on what this may be referring to, but the other quest pre-conditions we've already seen in the APK are: LEVEL, MEDAL, and other QUESTs.We'll be watching closely for hints at how these Research tasks will be earned and awarded...5. GO+ TelemetryGO+ users rejoice! A slew of new bug monitoring tools were added for GO+ events in this APK. The following are all being monitored for crashes, errors, and the like:UNDEFINED_POKEMON_GO_PLUS_EVENTCANNOT_CONNECT_TO_PGPREGISTERING_PGP_FAILEDREGISTERING_RETRYCONNECTION_SUCCESSPGP_DISCONNECTED_BY_USERPGP_DISCONNECTED_BY_TIMEOUTPGP_DISCONNECTED_BY_ERRORPGP_LOW_BATTERYBLUETOOTH_SENT_ERRORPGP_SEEN_BY_DEVICEPOKEMON_CAUGHTPOKEMON_NOT_CAUGHTPOKEMON_NOT_CAUGHT_DUE_ERRORPOKESTOP_SPUNPOKESTOP_NOT_SPUN_DUE_ERRORHopefully these assist Niantic in learning which devices, OSs, and app versions are having issues connecting and using the GO+. Regardless, it shows continued momentum on Niantic's part towards debugging the issues of GO+ users!And that's it!We can't wait till this weekend to nab as many shiny Eevee's as possible. We've reached out to Niantic to confirm the ambiguity introduced by the Pokemon.com page about the weekend and the new LAST RESORT move. As expected, it's made it into the APK and we expect network traffic updates to reflect the shiny Eevee form (and Vaporeon, which is still missing) soon!We're excited about the idea of quests for Minors as a single-player mode workaround for some of the coordinated, multi-player experiences that GO will likely continue to have now that Trading (and ...PvP?) are becoming a reality in-game.And it's always good to see GO+ debugging efforts happening!We'll see you on the Road,- Executive Dronpes - via /r/TheSilphRoad https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/957pxk/the_silph_roads_apk_teardown_of_v1114_is_complete/?utm_source=ifttt
