Esper Android Agent release notes:
- Improved integrated WiFi setup to automatically continue provisioning when an internet connection is detected.
- Added support for setting a custom default launcher in android default launcher mode.
- Updated to use the Android 16 Auto Time Zone API to enhance time zone handling on devices running Android 16 and above.

Bug Fixes and Improvements
- We’ve added a Custom Role scope for Remote ADB. You can now give permissions to Custom Role users to interact with Remote ADB. Remote ADB is available for devices on Foundation or those with supervisor plugins.
- We fixed an issue where web clips were not appearing on some iPad devices after an iOS device wiped. We’ve fixed this issue, and web clips should now install as expected.
- We’ve enhanced iOS app behavior to better detect when an installation appears to get stuck. We’ve also updated our troubleshooting guide to address common app installation troubleshooting issues.
We’re excited to launch DevRel 185 over the coming days, and the Esper team is hard at work on the next release. Please contact Esper Support to share your thoughts on how Esper can improve future releases.
