Sep 1, 2025In September 2025, the mobile app team delivered a focused two-item sprint: 1) a bug fix to the useGetCustomMapInfo hook correcting the query key usage to ensure accurate caching and retrieval of custom map data, reducing stale data risks in map-related flows; 2) routine dependency management by updating the root package lockfile to maintain consistent dependencies across environments without functional changes. These changes strengthen data correctness, reduce cache-related bugs, and improve reproducibility of builds and CI pipelines.
