 ## [Unreleased]
 
+- We addressed a random scenario where gradle would resolve to using the Hermes v1 compiler instead of the old hermes override in gradle.properties. This would throw issues with "...bytecode mismatch...".
 - We fixed an issue that could cause iOS apps to restart repeatedly after an OTA update.
 - Replaced @notifee/react-native with react-native-notify-kit library.
 - We addressed an issue on iOS, where a iOS-system dialogue would pop up during app startup, requesting a password. This was identified as part of Keychain read queries when a one-time keychain migration occurred.
