Release Notes

July 30, 2026

FIXED

Accounts linked before 2.60.0 could silently stop background syncing after upgrading (surfacing as error_internal), with one affected account also blocking syncs for every other linked account on the device. Affected accounts now report isAuthenticated == NO so host apps can offer re-authentication, they no longer block other accounts, and the failure is recorded for backend visibility.

Fetching orders for such an account from an active app now automatically re-verifies it and resumes the fetch — a single sync both repairs the account and returns orders. When no login can be presented, the fetch reports the new BRAccountLinkingErrorReVerifyRequired instead of a generic internal error.

ADDED

Automated e-receipt scrape: opt-in periodic background scrape of linked Gmail accounts. Each run creates the same backend scrape jobs as the manual remote scrape; receipts are parsed server-side and delivered to the configured client endpoint.

BREReceiptManager: enableAutoScrapeWithIdentifier: method — registers the background task handler at app launch.

BREReceiptManager: autoScrapeEnabled property — host-persisted opt-in gate; the schedule follows the Gmail sign-in state while enabled.

BREReceiptManager: autoScrapeInterval property — automated scrape interval override; default 24 hours, minimum 12 hours.

BREReceiptManager: autoScrapeCompletion — reports each account’s created job (jobId, account, error) on the main queue.

BRAccountLinkingErrorReVerifyRequired error code — treat it as a prompt to re-authenticate the linked account.

CHANGED

BlinkReceipt dependency raised to 1.73.0.
