Release Type: Minor Release

Details:

Updates to Android App version 2.0.4

Bug Fixes
This version of the Android app was released in preparation for the launch of Arlo in one of our new markets, China. In order to make the Arlo app available in China, we needed to satisfy Baidu’s SDK requirements for additional user information during app installation. During the installation process, if we determine that the user is based in China then, and only then, we initiate protocol and data exchange with Baidu server. We realized that this may be a cause of concern for our Arlo users in other parts of the world and have been actively working on a new Android app version that will remove the communications with Baidu from our worldwide app. The new Android app version will be released as soon as development and testing work is complete. The Chinese version of our Android app will continue to satisfy Baidu’s SDK requirements.

With regards to mobile phone data access, this is a requirement paving our way towards the development of geofencing features for Arlo.
