yeah, I think we can remove them. Here is a JIRA for it:

any details?
Sebi commented on "Send notification" screen that checkboxes are not ideal
way to select multiple variants when you have huge number of variants, say
20.
In other to save screen space, we would need to make it scrollable OR put
into several columns OR as I suggested, we may use a search selection box
with groups per platform and auto-completion, such as "Multiple select
boxes" sample on https://select2.github.io/examples.html

I like how they are presented in the current UI
Andres presented us that warnings are shown on the variant screen:
http://andresgalante.com/ups-console/app-detail-variants.html
I just wondered when the warning disappears (what's a best approach from UX
perspective).

Not sure.... we keep them, and after 30 days there is a job to delete the
warnings. I'd keep them, for tracking that there was a problem a few days
ago.

Isn't that miss leading? We can not guarantee that the message are
delivered to the phone.
We just give them to Google/Apple/etc. If they move them to /dev/null -
well :-)
I don't remember discussing this, I was talking about design of "progress
indicators" in general - if the app is taking any action, the UI should not
allow the user to do anything else unless the request is fully processed
(which is not true in the 1.0.x) - and ideally show some action indicator -
e.g. a spinner. :-)

+1 for search only. Did you guys create a JIRA for that ?

It's not just group of devices - it's also per platform. Imagine if there
are paid and free versions of an app. That *can* be managed as two
variants, on one app. I am open to improvements here

+1 - perhaps we can improve the text on the UI ?
We should be far more descriptive about what "application" and
"variant"
and "installation" terms means. :-) It is not enough to describe it in the
docs.

I still think the *skip* is too small.
Also, on the wizard, if it should always go to Send (but we had that on a
different thread)
