Niantic Labs has debuted the first update to Pokemon Go the iOS App Store has revealed.The 1.0.1 update includes several stability and ease-of-use fixes. Among them is the promise that players will no longer have to repeatedly log in with their username and password after the app forcibly logs them out. Logging in via the Pokemon Trainer Club account option is also supposed to be a more stable process with the update.Additionally, Niantic has "resolved issues causing crashes" and "fixed Google account scope." It was recently discovered that by logging in with a Google account, Pokemon Go requests full access to a user's Google information. Niantic issued a statement, however, saying that "Pokémon GO only accesses basic Google profile information (specifically, your User ID and email address) and no other Google account information is or has been accessed or collected."The update appears to address those concerns, as Niantic had said it was working on a client-side fix to "request permission for only basic Google account information."The app now also asks, as many apps do, if the user would like Go to send them notifications, though the app does not immediately specify what those notifications will concern.As of press time, the Google Play listing for the game did not indicate the update is available for Android players.Niantic CEO John Hanke said the developer is aiming to update the game on a bi-weekly basis , with a variety of large and small changes to come. Niantic is also addressing the game's battery and GPS location issues Trading, leaderboards, and more feature updates have also been teased as future additions to Pokemon Go.
