Release 0.12.0
April 11, 2026
Real-time updates, multi-image upload, and analytics infrastructure
for closed beta.
Features
- Real-Time Updates: The app now updates
automatically when other users take actions — no more pull-to-refresh
needed. Uses a three-layer hybrid of gRPC streaming (sub-second
delivery), FCM push notifications (background/terminated state), and
polling (correctness backstop). Includes push suppression for users with
active streams and narrowed event routing to avoid unnecessary refreshes

from the media screen (#1086,

- Media Carousel Access: Tapping on images in chat
and tapping on the empty part of the media bar now opens the media
carousel screen (#1086,

Bug Fixes
- RSVP to Active Events: Users can now RSVP to events
that are already active, not just upcoming ones (#1088,

- iOS Dev App Name: Dev builds now correctly display
“Ripls Dev” instead of “Ripls” on iOS (#1082)
Infrastructure
- Metabase Analytics: Added local Metabase setup for
analytics dashboards with read-only database access, plus Terraform
module for dev Cloud Run deployment (#1072,
