Changes to token availability?

Questions

I recently had to reinstal ABRP on my Android device and noticed that the generic token is no longer dusplayed.
Researching this, I found some posts stating that the “The Generic option is only for developers.”

As a paid subscriber, I have a couple questions regarding this change:

1. Was this update announced to users? I may have missed the communication.

2. What is the reason for this change, considering this was the primary method for users to connect to non-BLE OBD readers, via torque or other apps?

Loosing the ability to connect my ‘regular ‘bluetooth OBD reader to ABRP via third-party apps significantly reduces the utility of ABRP for me, and, I believe, many other users

I look forward to your clarification on this matter.

    Hi @Jorge Antunes,

    Sorry for the misunderstanding! There have been NO intentional changes in the availability of this feature; however, we experienced an issue with its functionality over the weekend.

    Ticket regarding this: Can not generate a 'generic token' for Api or Torque Pro upload

    The responses my colleague provided regarding the intention of this feature being for ‘developers’ did not mean that it would be meant for ‘internal use only’ but was based on the fact that we sometimes have users misunderstand, thinking that this alternative can be used like the others (more plug and play).

    This feature is, of course, still intended for users who are able to set up their own project for feeding ABRP live data.
