16.10.0-beta October 6, 2022

Beta release for SDK 16.10.0 that adds support for live activities. To support live activities, you must call restore once after takeOff during application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) with all the live activity types that you might track with Airship:

  Airship.takeOff(config, launchOptions: launchOptions)

  Task {
      await Airship.channel.restoreLiveActivityTracking { restorer in
          await restorer.restore(
            forType: Activity<DeliveryAttributes>.self
          )
          await restorer.restore(
            forType: Activity<SomeOtherAttributes>.self
          )
      }
  }

Then whenever you want Airship to track an activity, call trackLiveActivity on the channel instance with the name of the activity:

  Task {
      await Airship.channel.trackLiveActivity(
          activity,
          name: "my-neat-activity"
      )
  }

You will then be able to send updates through the Airship Push API to the live activity using the name my-neat-activity.

14.0.0 September 3, 2020

Airship SDK 14 is a major update that prepares our automation module to support future IAA enhancements, revamps the Channel Capture tool, and provides other improvements.

The majority of apps will only be effected by the new UAURLAllowList behavior changes.

Changes

  • BEHAVIOR CHANGE All URLs are not verified by default. Applications that use open URL action, landing pages, and custom in-app message image URLs will need to provide a list of URL patterns that match those URLs for SCOPE_OPEN_URL. The easiest way to go back to 13.x behavior is to add the wildcard symbol * to the array under the URLAllowListScopeOpenURL key in your AirshipConfig.plist.
  • Channel Capture tool now detects a knock of 6 app opens in 30 seconds. Instead of displaying anything to the user, the tool will write the current channel ID to the clipboard.
  • UAWhitelist class and terminology removed and replaced with UAURLAllowList.
  • UAActionAutomation class and functionality has been moved to UAInAppAutomation, which covers both Action Automation and In-App Messages.
  • In-App Automation APIs have been updated to support future IAA enhancements.
  • Removed deprecated APIs.

See the Migration Guide for further details.
