Android troubleshooting
The following Help information is also available from the App Center Download screen.
While installing the app on Android, I get a security warning.
"For your security, your phone is not allowed to install unknown apps from this source."
Chrome on Android 8 or higher:
- Click Settings on that dialogue.
- Toggle Allow from this source.
While installing the app, I get a "There was a problem parsing the package" error.
This error could be caused by a number of issues related to the downloaded file or package.
To troubleshoot, attempt to reinstall the app. If that does not work, contact Skedulo for help to resolve the issue.

Accessibility
The Skedulo mobile app v3 has been redesigned for better readability, navigation, and consistency - with enhanced layouts, larger text sizes, heavier font weights, and more contrasting colors.
This article includes the current list of supported accessibility features, with more features to be included in future releases.
Color contrast
All text passes minimum WCAG AA standards - with a contrast ratio of at least 4:5:1
(https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/contrast-minimum.html).
Text resizing
Skedulo mobile app V3 respects the device’s Accessibility settings for large and dynamic font resizing.
Platform UI and controls
The new Skedulo mobile app uses native patterns and standard elements with already built-in accessibility support where possible.
The app supports larger controls, such as larger buttons, with larger tappable areas, and adequate spacing around elements.
Dark mode
Skedulo mobile app v3 supports dark mode based on the user's device settings. This can be beneficial for users with low vision and light sensitivity.
