  • Exposes UAPreferenceCenterResources, UAPreferenceCenterViewController and UAPreferenceAlertItemButtonto obj-c.

16.11.0 February 22, 2023

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

16.10.7 January 18, 2023

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.

16.10.1 November 3, 2022

16.10.0 October 24, 2022

Changes

  • 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

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.

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

  • Fixed deep links that contain invalid characters by encoding those deep links.
