    removeAttribute("vip_status")
}
Airship.getChannel().editAttributes()
    .setAttribute("device_name", "Bobby's Phone")
    .setAttribute("average_rating", 4.99)
    .removeAttribute("vip_status")
    .apply();

Contact Attributes

Contact attributes are attributes managed on the Contact by the SDK.

Contact attributes

    setAttribute("first_name", "Bobby")
    setAttribute("birthday", Date(524300400000))
}
