iOS Changelog

Patch release that fixes a regression introduced in 16.11.0 that disables Survey’s submit button and inputs, and added accessibility font scaling to Scenes & Surveys.

Changes

• Scale fonts for Scenes & Surveys
• Fixed Survey enablement regression

Patch release that exposes some Preference Center classes to Objective-C.

Changes

• Exposes UAPreferenceCenterResources, UAPreferenceCenterViewController and UAPreferenceAlertItemButtonto obj-c.

Minor release that fixes a potential channel restore issue on second run. The impact should be small since the channel create will return the same channel ID if the app has a device token or the app installed the Message Center module.

Changes

• Fixed app restore detection false positive on second run
• Added new optional PushNotificationDelegate method extendPresentationOptions(_:notification:completionHandler) that allows returning foreground presentation options with a callback instead of synchronously
• Added new Config method validate(logIssues:) to prevent logging on the config.
• Fixed nil URL log message when attempting to create a channel on the first run. The channel will now wait until the URL is available before attempting to be created. This should not cause any real difference in behavior, it only prevents the log message from being logged.
• Fixed Xcode 14.3 beta build issues

Patch release that adds a potential mitigation for some iOS 16 devices crashing when reading and writing to UserDefaults. We have not been able to reproduce the issue and seems limited to a small number of iOS 16 devices.

Patch release to fix a delay when creating the Airship channel on first run. Apps that are using 16.10.1 or requireInitialRemoteConfigEnabled config should update.

Changes

• Fixed channel creation delay on first run

Patch release that significantly speeds up SDK build time, fixes issues with automatic setup for SwiftUI apps, and improves Scene & Surveys.

Changes

• Fixed issues causing slow build times. The compile swift step is now ~6x faster.
• Fixed issues calling the original app delegate methods when the app delegate is set using UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor in a SwiftUI app.
• Moved Airship Keystore data to its own service bucket to avoid being accidentally deleted by other plugins/apps.

Adds support for live activity and custom Airship domains.

Changes

• Adds support for live activities (when built with Xcode 14.1+)
• Adds support for setting the initialConfigURL when using custom domains
• Fixed OOTB Message Center deep linking to a Message on first display
• Fixed logging live activities update as an error instead of debug

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.

• Moved Preference Center and Message Center OOTB UI to use its own window instead of the current key window.

The first time the app runs with this version of the SDK, any In-App Messages that were directly scheduled by the app will be canceled and removed. The app will need to re-schedule those messages.

Apps whose in-app messages are scheduled only through the Airship message composers (go.urbanairship.com) don’t need to take any additional action after upgrading to this version.

• Fixed an issue where Message Center messages were not being properly marked as read after displaying via in-app automation.
