Ingress APK Teardown [1.118.0] – Lawson Station Edition

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Ingress teardown. We skipped blogging about versions 1.117.x because we found nothing interesting, however with the launch of 1.118.0 we identified a new beacon arriving. We believed this to be the Magnus Reawakens beacon, but it turns out it was not. For that reason we have a small teardown showing this change.

As you can see, beacon 11 has joined us. The true title and description have been server side for awhile now, so the real name of this beacon won’t be known until it shows up on the Store tab.

Conclusion

Yes, this was quite possibly our shortest teardown ever. It’s clear the bulk of Ingress development is going towards 2.0, with the exception of the recent changes to COMM spam and portal submissions. We will be back with any news and enjoy the upcoming May Ingress challenge.
