Ingress Updates [ENG]
Niantic has revealed the 25 locations for the APAC Shard Skirmishes on April 27! 🔸Wellington, New Zealand 🇳🇿 🔸Gold Coast, Australia 🇦🇺 🔸Newcastle, Australia 🇦🇺 🔸Hobart, Australia 🇦🇺 🔸Asahikawa, Japan 🇯🇵 🔸Akita, Japan 🇯🇵 🔸Matsue, Japan 🇯🇵 🔸Miyazaki…
⚠️ Our Korean members reported that Niantic changed one of the locations of the upcoming Shard Skirmish Events from Gwangju to Goyang, South Korea due to the latter also hosting a Mission Day on April 27th!
The city of Goyang will therefore host these two events on the same day.

Niantic has released Update 2.139.1 into the App Stores!
In addition to adding the new App icon for Buried Memories that we reported on last update a change has been implemented that fixes latency issues while recharging Portals.
Members of our discussion group have also discovered that the icon for the Aegis Shield has been changed in the Portal details making it easier to differentiate from the other Portal Shields.

Niantic shared the official 2024 template for Agent Biocards!
The style of this new design is inspired by the Buried Memories Series which will accompany us for this period.
In the picture above, we can see an example of all the four variants available in the template pack, featuring the POCs for the Naha Anomaly!
We think they look awesome, if you want to check the files out for yourselves, visit this link to download the Adobe Illustrator files.

🇯🇵 Niantic has revealed the playbox for the upcoming Anomaly in Naha, Japan on May 18th!
This playbox is incredibly big, so we expect a very high number of players will be in the city to control all those Portals!
Check out the playbox on the Intel Map at this link!

Niantic added up to three small, free item bundles in the store! These bundles are not visible to everyone, but members of our discussion group speculate that they are shown based on these factors:
🔶2x L4 Power Cube bundle - Everyone
🔶1x L8 Power Cube bundle - Recursed Agents only
🔶1x Rare Kinetic Capsule - C.O.R.E. agents only
Let us know what bundles you can see and help us confirm our speculations!
Tap on this link to quickly open the store in the Scanner.
EDIT: Thanks to the comments we can confirm that there seems to be some unknown criteria for choosing which bundles are visible to agents. Feel free to comment to help us get to the bottom of this!
EDIT 2: Niantic confirms that the Rare Kinetic Capsule is for CORE Agents and that "Recursed Agents and Regular Agents also have something waiting" for them: https://www.tg-me.com/NianticOfficial/702

It seems like we will regularly get new, free items in the store going forward! When these items rotate, whether it'll be the same bundles each time and what the requirements are for seeing specific bundles is still unknown, but we encourage you to check back into the store from time to time!

EDIT: Niantic seems to confirm that the visibility of the packs does seem to depend on whether you're a Regular Agent, Recursed and/or subscribed to CORE: https://www.tg-me.com/NianticOfficial/702

Golden hour in Yogyakarta, Indonesia where this group of Resistance Agents battled the Enlightened during this first Shard Skirmish!
We are now waiting for the scores of this event, but we are willing to bet that the Agents enjoyed their afternoon chasing Shards!
Good job, guys and gals!

Niantic has released Update 2.140.1 to the App Stores!
Among the updates and fixes in this version an update to brackets around portals during Missions was made to make the Portals themselves more visible. An unintended overlay of the Portals title in various screens was fixed together with a bug that sent you to the Alerts tab in COMM when tapping on a message you were tagged in in the bottom right of the main map screen.
While not mentioned specifically, this Update should also include a notifications to Agents with Android phones that do not meet the Strong Integrity check of the Google Play Integrity API as discussed here. If you receive this message you will not be able to play Ingress past May 27th on your phone and you will need to either use another phone or remove any modifications done to the phones operating system to ensure that you meet the Strong Integrity check.

Some of the following visual changes made it to the newest update:
🔸The bracket around Portals has been replaced with an animated triangle bracket. This does not only affect brackets during Missions but everywhere else as well, like in Drone View. If the brackets are shown during a mission they turn red if you can interact with them.
🔸The name and level of Portals in the Portal Details screen was moved. It is now part of the box that shows additional gameplay information for the Portal, depending on the screen (Resonators/Mods/Recharge).
🔸The item carousels have received an updated (i) icon as well as an updated restock icon, depending on the screen (Attacking/Recharging/Deploying)
