iCloud3 v2.3 (January, 2021)
iCloud3 v2.3 is a significant enhancement to iCloud3. It's major enhancements include:
- Support for Apple's 2-factor authentication trusted device verification. This is the real verification process, the one you are familiar and used by other 2fa apps, web sites and browsers. It replaces the 2-step verification method you have ben using for years.
- The iCloud Location Services tracking methods (Find-my-Friends and Family Sharing) have been combined and the most efficient method is assigned by iCloud3 on a per-device basis. iCloud3 analyzes how your devices are configured and determines the one to use that will minimize the number of locations requests. This reduces the lag time between the request and the response and helps lower the number of old locations received.
- The configuration parameters for defining devices has changed to provide for future device specifications and to conform to HA's methods of configuring devices. The old track_devices still works but is being depreciated.
- Updated the handling of the config_ic3.yaml iCloud3 configuration file.
- New configuration parameters.
- Fixed some bugs.
