APK 0.215.0 Breakdown: Account Specific Interaction Ranges, Buddy Powered Up Pokéstops, iOS eggs?? and more!

Posted in

Hello Trainers! 0.215.0 is currently rolling out to a device near you and it brings with it Account specific Pokéstop & Gym interaction ranges, more on Buddy powered up Pokéstops and the Address Book/Contact List syncing, eggs for iOS users? and more!

You can check out the PokéMiners post on Reddit here.  Go give them an upvote! You know the drill by now, everything in this article is datamined, and therefore subject to be changed or not even being released at all.

So let’s get into it!!

Pokéstop Interaction Range

interaction_range_meters 
far_interaction_range_meters 
remote_interaction_range_meters

These fields were all added to the game master, while they used to only be in the global settings.  This means that Niantic can make the interaction range account-specific.

I have a strong feeling that the increased interaction range that we’ve all enjoyed during these last few months will be included in the Subscription Service when it drops.  I’d almost guarantee it.

Contact List Updates

Niantic.Platform.CrossGameSocial.Android 
AndroidCgsManager 
GetContactList ContactListManager
SYNC_CONTACT_LIST_V2 
SEND_CONTACT_LIST_FRIEND_INVITE_V2 
REFER_CONTACT_LIST_FRIEND_V2
SyncContactListRequest 
contact_id 
email 
phone_number
INVITATION_TYPE_ADDRESS_BOOK_IMPORT 
GetOutgoingFriendInvitesProto 
CancelFriendInviteProto 
IsMyFriendProto
OPEN_ADDRESS_BOOK
ADDRESS_BOOK_IMPORT_PROMPT
get_ContactListSyncPageSize 
get_ContactListSyncIntervalMs 
get_MaxFriends
get_ContactListConsent 
show_opt_out_checkbox

Not a whole lot that’s “new” here.  You’ll be able to sync your contacts with your phone’s contact list to Pokémon Go.  It appears that you’ll then be able to scroll your contact list in-game and send invites to people directly from the game.

There’s also the ability to opt out.

Buddy Powered Up PokeStop

BUDDY_AFFECTION_VISIT_POWERED_UP_FORT

It looks like you will get an affection heart when you visit a Powered-up Pokéstop.

Asset Updates

GeneratePokemonAddress 
LoadPokemonPrefab 
LoadPokemonIcon

The Miners have been reporting on this for a little while, but this update starts to actually use the new “Addressable” system.  This is a feature of Unity that makes it easier to manage assets in-game.

  • All of Kanto

  • Chikorita

  • Wobbuffet

  • Delibird

  • Tyranitar

  • Lugia

  • Zigzagoon

  • Gardevoir

  • Sableye

  • Wailord

  • Altaria

  • Absol

  • Lucario

  • Cubchoo

  • Meloetta

  • Sylveon

  • Xerneas

  • Yveltal

  • Flygon

 

Cross Game Social Settings

There are now settings that cover all Niantic games simultaneously.  These are:

  • Disabled features, which can be:

    • NIANTIC_PROFILE

    • ONLINE_STATUS

    • CROSS_GAME_FRIEND_LIST

    • GAME_INVITE_SENDER

    • SHARED_FRIEND_GRAPH

    • NICKNAME

    • CROSS_GAME_ONLINE_STATUS

    • GAME_INVITE_RECEIVER

    • ADDRESS_BOOK_IMPORT

Text Messaging

CONTACT_METHOD_UNSET EMAIL 
SMS 
SendSmsRequest 
SmsAddress 
SmsBody

So this looks like Niantic is going to be sending out text messages?  Likely for game invites, but an odd choice.

Changing Your Name

ChangeFullNameSettingWidget 
currentName 
FullNameInputGuiController

You’ll be able to change your full name, it appears that Niantic is working towards getting all of its databases consolidated.

iOS eggs?

HATCHING 
NOT_HATCHING 
HATCHED 
IOS_EGGS 
IosEggs

Are iOS getting their own eggs?  Perhaps sponsored eggs from iOS-specific ads?  IOS_EGGS could mean something totally different… who knows!
