'''Viceroy hunters and above can now embark on a new adventure.'''<br>
An upcoming update to the MouseHunt Android app will upgrade the framework the app is built on to improve performance and incorporate important security updates into the app. As part of the upgrade, the minimum supported Android version will change from Jelly Bean (4.1) to KitKat (4.4). This update will improve performance and stability and is required to continue to support some features such as the ability to sign in with Facebook.

At the moment, there are approximately 325 active devices which will no longer be able to download the MouseHunt app from Google Play once this update goes live. If you're one of these affected players, you'll still be able to use the app if it is installed on your device, however, you will not be able to download updates or reinstall the app should you remove it from your device. We understand it can be inconvenient and frustrating to no longer be able to update the app and, as such, held off on applying this update for as long as we could. However, we have reached the point where features of the app will no longer work unless we apply this type of update.
+
The King needs the bravest and most studious MouseHunters, Viceroy and above, to enroll at the new School of Sorcery and teach the Mythweaver and his minions a thing or two about classroom etiquette.
  
====Update Release and Availability====
+
==== Enrollment Process! ====
We are currently wrapping up testing for the update and if testing continues to go well, plan to publish the update to Google Play during the week of March 23, 2020. This release may be postponed if any significant issues arise during testing.

The Tale of the Sorcerer's Apprentice map piece can be purchased from the Bountiful Beanstalk Cartographer for '''1,000,000 Gold''', '''1,000 Golden Goose Eggs''', and requires completion of the Slay the Mythical Giant King adventure for any hunters who have yet to obtain it.
  
Thank you for your understanding as we take this necessary step to maintain functionality, performance, and security for the mobile app. Happy hunting!

Alternatively, hunters who earned Thousandth Draft Derby Cheese during the Spring Egg Hunt can earn the map piece by hunting the M1000 at the Table of Contents.
