We are seeing a non-fatal crash report that makes us thing something is going wrong related to our performance improvement around selects. We have not been able to reproduce. **If you see any unexpected behavior when using selects, please let us know.**

The latest beta (beta 3) includes several improvements to projects:

- Creating a project immediately switches to that new project
- Project deletion is not allowed when there are unsent submissions (submissions must be sent or explicitly deleted)
- Google Drive projects can be configured from the manual configuration screen
- The project selection dialog is taller if there are more projects
- App shortcuts work across projects. They can be created for the current project and then continue to work even if the project is changed. **It would be good to get feedback from anyone who relies on app shortcuts (e.g. @Florian_May )**
- The first project created is used as the default if no project is specified using a content provider URI (if you use an external app integration, please try this)

Thanks for all the great suggestions.

There's a change to location access that we have to make for Play Store compliance and in parallel we are [combining general and admin settings](https://forum.getodk.org/t/collect-combine-general-and-admin-settings/34149) to address some of the issues around configuring project title, etc. We expect to have one last beta with those changes when we start quality assurance.
