The Forum Copilot app is now free. The former $4.99 purchase and the hosted push service are both free for every forum. Nothing to configure on your side.
What changed in the add-on (1.4.0 to 1.8.5)
- Reactions. The app shows your forum's full reaction set with a tap-to-choose picker and a "who reacted" list. Built-in reactions map to native emoji on both 2.2 and 2.3; custom reactions use their emoji replacement or image.
- Private-conversation push notifications now work reliably. Earlier 1.4.x builds reported "sent" but often never delivered.
- Direct push mode. Forums running their own white-label app can deliver notifications through their own Firebase project instead of the hosted service.
- Cross-platform smart banner ("Open in app") for iOS and Android, with admin options for your own store listings if you ship a branded app.
- Members using the app appear in the online list with a "Using Forum Copilot Mobile App" activity label.
- XenForo 2.2 compatibility. Several features (conversation reply and invite, poll voting, thread deletion, reactions, the activity label) referenced 2.3-only class names and failed on 2.2. All fixed and verified on 2.2.19.
- Following users and marking a conversation read returned HTTP 500 on every version. Fixed.
- The file health check is clean. 1.8.1 flagged 76 files as modified on every install because of how the hash manifest was generated.
Upgrading
Upload the ZIP through ACP > Add-ons > upgrade Forum Copilot. No database changes. Any 1.3.x or later install upgrades straight to 1.8.5. On XenForo 2.2, existing "FC mobile session activity error" rows in the server error log can be cleared after upgrading; new ones stop.
