  • XCode 12.2 and Swift 5.3.1 compatibility.

  • BREAKING CHANGE:
    The SDK now processes notification open events that start the application. Before, the app had to running and minimized for the notification to be processed.
    To respond to notifications that start the application, the SDK needs to run some processing in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
    ExponeaAppDelegate now implements this method where it processes the notification and sets notification center delegate. Your AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions now requires a override keyword and a call to super super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions). Calling Exponea.shared.pushNotificationsDelegate = self is no longer required. See push notifications documentation for more details.
  • Fixed: Events are now sorted based on timestamp before uploading to Exponea servers.

Release Notes for 2.9.3

Release Notes for 2.9.1

October 06, 2020

• Because of bad push, this release on cocoapods is the same as 2.9.0

Release Notes for 2.9.0

September 09, 2020

• Features
  • Default properties that are tracked with every event can be changed at runtime by setting Exponea.shared.defaultProperties property.
  • In-app messages definitions are re-downloaded every time the customer is identified. After customer identification, the set of in-app messages available for the customer may change due to targeting.
• Bug Fixes
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The SDK can only be configured once. Reconfiguration of the SDK caused some of the handlers to be registered multiple times which then resulted in automatic events to be tracked multiple times. You should be able to change most of the setting on the fly. To change project tokens, you can use anonymize() method (see ANONYMIZE.md)
  • When a push notification was opened before the SDK was configured(e.g. the app was killed in the background) it was not processed - no event was tracked, action was not resolved. This issue is resolved by saving the “push opening event” until the SDK in configured and tracking/performing action once the SDK is ready.

Release Notes for 2.8.0

August 07, 2020

• Features
  • Support for new in-app message delay and timeout fields soon to be available in Exponea web app.
  • Troubleshooting guide for In-app messages.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: tracking of event properties with array and object type has been overhauled, supporting nesting. The API has changed slightly, but should not affect most developers, since array/object property type is rarely used.
  • Swift 5 added to list of supported swift versions in podspec.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed: Push notification registration is now always performed on the main thread.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Only strings are now allowed for customer ids. Exponea would ignore all other types, so this change should not break any functionality, possibly just clean up non-functioning code.
  • Fixed: In-app messages are now stored in Caches directory instead of Documents where users can see them.
  • Fixed: Core Data is now accessed from background thread instead of main thread to prevent blocking the application execution.
  • Fixed: Merge policy has been set on Core Data preventing occasional issues when reporting events.

Release Notes for 2.7.0

July 20, 2020

• Features
  • DEPRECATION NOTICE: Automatic push notifications are now deprecated. Please check the Push notification documentation to see new setup instructions. In most cases, just extending ExponeaAppDelegate should be enough. The reason for this change is to remove method swizzling that causes issues when multiple SDKs that handle push notifications are integrated into one application. This way you're more in control of the push notification flow.
  • Silent push notifications support. You're now able to send background updates to your application and respond to them by implementing silentPushNotificationReceived method on PushNotificationManagerDelegate. Delivery of silent push notifications is tracked to Exponea backend.
  • SDK now supports animated GIFs in push notifications. We advice to keep the images small, official attachment size limit is 10MB, but there is no guarantee.
  • When the application is started from a push notification, resulting session will contain UTM parameters.
  • Updated push notifications documentation and self-check mechanism to make notifications integration easier.

  • Retrieve the cookie of the current customer used for tracking by calling Exponea.shared.customerCookie.
  • Improved logging for in-app messages explaining why each message should/shouldn’t be displayed.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed: Tracking to multiple projects. It now requires both project token and authorization token. Please see CONFIG.md for more information.
  • Removed: Legacy banners implementation that wasn’t working properly.

Release Notes for 2.6.1

March 24, 2020

• Features
  • Push notification delivery is tracked at the time of delivery. Before, the app had to be started again to flush the events to the server.
  • Push notification token is removed from Exponea servers when user changes push notification permission.
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed: Random crash in log reporting.
  • Fixed: Push notification token wasn't tracked in DAILY mode.

Release Notes for 2.6.0

March 02, 2020

• Features
  • New in-app messages - display rich messages when app starts or an event is tracked - even when offline. This SDK is fully ready for the feature when it is publicly available soon.
  • The SDK is now able to report the SDK-related crashes to Exponea. This helps us keep the SDK in a good shape and work on fixes as soon as possible.
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed: Browser notification action now always opens the url browser
  • Fixed: Default properties are now added to all events, including system events
  • Removed: Automatic payment tracking was broken and has been removed from the Exponea iOS SDK. In case you're interested in this functionality let us know.

Release Notes for 2.5.1

December 19, 2019

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where anonymize() would fail with automatic push notification tracking enabled on iOS 10

Release Notes for 2.5.0

November 26, 2019

• Features
  • The SDK can now be fully configured also in the code, not only with the configuration file and thus making it more flexible. This new feature is based on https://github.com/exponea/exponea-ios-sdk/issues/10.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed: https://github.com/exponea/exponea-ios-sdk/issues/8 - A push notification might have opened the application multiple times if there are multiple SDKs integrated in the application. This shouldn't happen anymore.
  • Fixed: URL link checking is now more robust and handles also incorrectly formatted URL links.

2.4.0

November 05, 2019

• Features
  • The SDK has a new protective layer for the public API as well as for the interaction with the operating system. It means that in the production setup it prefers to fail silently instead of crashing the whole application.
  • Push notification events now contain more information about campaigns and the action taken and are consistent with Exponea Android SDK.
• Bug Fixes
  • Increased overall code quality by fixing many lint errors. This makes many warnings from the SDK disappear when the application is compiled.
  • The internal mechanisms of the SDK are now really hidden and not usable by the application. It prevents developers from using some undocumented internal part of the SDK in an inappropriate way.
  • Fixed: We fixed a networking issue which cancelled all network requests made by the whole application (not only the SDK) after calling the anonymize() method.
  • Fixed: SDK Initialization now handles database initialization properly. Previously there were some critical errors that could crash the application.
  • There are significant improvements in the unit tests of the SDK.

2.3.0

September 30, 2019

• Features
  • Universal link tracking: SDK can now track app opens from Universal link. Sessions that are started from Universal link contain campaign data.
• Bug Fixes
  • The SDK is now better at handling parallel tasks which lead to nasty crashes in the past.
  • Fixed: Internal event database thread-safety issues that caused random crashes in previous versions. Database layer only exposes immutable projections of database objects to the outside world. All operations on those objects have to be performed using Database layer itself.
  • Fixed: Event flushing can now only be performed once at a time. Simultaneous calls to Exponea.shared.flushData() will only flush data to Exponea once. Flush uses semaphore to ensure that only one thread can perform flushing process.

2.2.3

• Configuration now has a token update frequency, which specifies how often should the push token be sent to Exponea (on change, on every start, daily)

2.2.2
