On the "Settings" page (accessed by clicking the gear icon  and selecting the Advanced Settings tab) in the app builder, you will see a variety of advanced settings. Many of them are only accessible through clicking the list icon button to the right of the "saved"/"save" button at the top of the page. Each setting configures the mobile application in a different way. After you update settings for your app, you have to make a new version, for the settings to take effect.  Please note that with the exception of "Android Settings / Web Apps Logo", only "Basic" settings apply to Web Apps.

CommCare Version - The minimum CommCare version mobile users are required to have on their devices to be able to install the application. This is also true for application updates, user’s won’t be able to update any apps if the app update targets a higher CommCare version then what is already installed on their mobile device; they will need to update CommCare via the Google Play store first in order to update the app. The setting is especially useful when your application starts using a recently released CommCare feature and you want your users to be able to use said feature.  This setting can also act as a great forcing function for users to update CommCare to the latest version.

Auto Update Frequency - How frequently the app should check for updates made to the applications.  It will look for the latest released version of your application.

Unsent Form Limit - The number of unsent forms you can have on the phone before highlighting the number of unsent forms in red warning text
