Widget adjacent request: A few years back Google created some insane requirements to publish an app on the Play Store (insane for small developers). Apps must now go through internal testing before a public release, and Google require a significant number of testers. I've written a very...

In the past month I reached out to my contact at Ford and recently I got a response. The explanation is that the public API isn't dead. They had to prioritize their efforts on compliance with the EU Data Act, but that work would also be usable in the US as well. Stay tuned.

Uploaded version 2025.01.27-10 to GitHub and Play Store. The only thing in this release is an update on the app's status, basically saying it's not dead yet.

I'd like to say there's been progress but it's not the case. The new login API is still locked down and there isn't any known bypass. ?

Someone posted a new issue on GitHub about login issues, and it appears Ford is using different URLs now for authentication. This doesn't seem to affect getting refresh tokens, so if things are working for you just don't try to log in.

Uploaded version 2024.04.27-12 to GitHub and Play Store. Only change is for Lightning owners: a single tap on the HVB progress bar will display its temperature and voltage.

I'd like to say it will come out of hibernation soon, but I've been waiting twenty months for Ford to release the public API. I can say I haven't had one complaint from users on the Play Store that their account was locked out...

Sorry, not by me. @tonesto7 developed the original widget for iPhone, but I think it became too difficult to continue supporting. However, I won't speak for him.

Uploaded version 2024.02.12-09 to GitHub and Play Store. This will affect all non-EV/PHEV owners as for some unknown reason all vehicles indicate they have a charging port. And more incorrectly, non-EV/PHEV vehicles show it is connected. God only knows to what.

Does the log show any errors?

It's the Ford Status Widget.

I can't confirm. If someone has an OBDII reader they can check. Alternately, I just need someone to donate $35k to my PayPal account so I can buy an F-150*. *please don't do this, my taxes next year would be a nightmare

There is a JSON entry (metrics.batteryStateOfCharge) that the app reports.

Uploaded version 2024.01.28-09 to GitHub and Play Store. intended to fix bugs seen here.

Thanks. Bug fix in the works.
