Handling push notifications that start app

Release Notes for 2.10.0

January 07, 2021

• Features
  • SDK will now hold opened push notifications until pushNotificationsDelegate is set.
  • In-app message clicked event now contains property text with label of the button that was interacted with.
  • XCode 12.2 and Swift 5.3.1 compatibility.
• Bug Fixes
  • 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.

Xcode 12 compatibility

Release Notes for 2.9.2

Xcode 12 compatibility

Release Notes for 2.9.1

October 06, 2020

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

Idempotent SDK configure, small fixes

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.

Stability and in-app message improvements

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.

Silent push notifications

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.
