Android Widget for Mach-E [Less Complex]

If you've got a 2019 or later Mustang GT with FordPass access, and want to test the app with your coupe, send me a DM and I'll hook you up with a beta I would like to test.

Uploaded version 2023.01.03 to GitHub and Play Store. The only addition is support for Mustangs without direct testing other than checking that the graphics look mostly correct. Some other minor changes under the hood.

My widget has not updated since 01/01. I am running 2023.01.03. I tried a force stop and that did not help. I am running from the Play store. Phone restart also did not help.

Suggestions?

You can enable logging and send me the log in a DM (let it run for a while, and also force a refresh). But it you were using the app before the API change, I'd suggest wiping your data and starting over fresh.

I went ahead and wiped my data, created a second Ford Pass account to login to the Ford status app, and all is good now.

Thanks for the detailed help and a great tool!

So did your first FordPass account get locked by Ford? You'll know if you can't log into Ford.com anymore.

No, I was not locked out, so I have 2 working Ford Pass accounts. I use one for Ford Pass and one just for the widget app. This way, if the app gets me kicked off all I'll lose is the widget.

Hey Louise and Ken,

I've been using your great Mach E widget since mid-Summer. Well designed and I look at it every day. Thank you for the "upkeep" to the widget.

QUestion: for the 1st time in months (maybe 1st time ever) my widget has stopped car updates... the last car info it shows is from 19 January. My FordPass though, from whose information the widget draws its data, is up to date to today. Any suggestions to get the widget up to date?

The two issues I've been seeing the most lately causing this are 1) running an older version of the widget, or 2) not turning off battery optimizations. If neither of those are applicable, you can open an issue on GItHub and send a logfile for me to check.

OK thank you - let me try the battery optimization.

My widget has stopped responding again, this time for over a week. Are there clues in the log? Thanks.

Today's update should fix this. You may need to log in again, but first just try a manual refresh.
