# StatusNearMe v0.6.0-beta.3

**Channel:** beta · **versionCode:** 603

## This build
- **Force-update check** — on launch (online), compares to `https://statusnearme.com/beta/manifest.json` `minVersionCode`. Outdated betas show a full-screen block + download link.
- Encrypted offline catalog (1542 places), same as prior betas.

## How force-update works
1. Edit `minVersionCode` in `/beta/manifest.json` on the website (e.g. set to `604` when beta.4 ships).
2. Testers on older APKs that include this checker cannot use the app until they install the new APK.
3. Offline: check is skipped (no block).

## Note
`0.6.0-beta.2` and older do **not** include this checker — they will not auto-force until users move to beta.3+.
