Beta version Expired
Purchased a life time license little over a weak ago no issues until this evening.
App is telling me to update to the latest Beta version when its already on the latest version there doesn't appear to be any updates available and only gives me an option to quit which it then reopens itself to the same message " Please update to the latest beta in order to continue testing"

Hello! I'm sorry this issue is happening. It's a major error on my part. A fix has already been submitted but is pending approval. Since it's the weekend, it likely won't get approved before Monday. In the meantime please see this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/dispatchlauncher/comments/1fh1t2m/please_read_beta_expired_error_september_14th/
In summary though, you can install the apk provided here is a temporary fix until the update is live on the play store:

Once again, I apologize for the hassle.

Menu button->General Settings->Apps should allow you to uninstall Dispatch and/or get to apps you're after.
Having the same issues on two Shield Pros.

Same problem, need a better way to update, even on playstore it doesn't show my device as able to update

Same issue here, it's expired but I don't have an update available on the play store.
Also it keeps restarting itself each time I close dispatch I can't even access the play store, I had to kill the app in order to open the native luncher.
Please add some delays before you kill a version and add a button on the update activity to open the play store directly in the app page.

Yep. Can't do anything on my shield now because Dispatch is my default launcher.

Chase Sterling if you want to fix this now and don't mind resetting all your settings you can follow my instructions below.
What I did was:
adb into my shield
adb.exe connect <ip-here>uninstall dispatch
adb.exe -s <ip-here> uninstall com.spauldhaliwal.dispatchDownload the apk Paul provided above
Install the apk on your device
adb.exe -s <ip-here> install '.\Downloads\Dispatch v.1.0.0.39.apk'That should get you into a working state again.
It might be better to wait for Pauls fix to come down via the store though, as then you might not lose any settings.
Paul Dhaliwal thanks for the fast turnaround on that patched apk/it's working as expected on my end!
