Version 2 of the Airship Web SDK, which adds new features including In App Experiences for web!

For a full explanation of changes as well explanations of each feature, see Implementing Web SDK v2 as well as our migration guide.

v2.2.18 is the first public release of the Airship Web SDK version 2, all previous released under major version 2 were not public.

New Features

• In-App Experience features, including Scenes and Surveys
• Register browsers as Channels without requiring notification opt-in, allowing In-App Experiences, Named User association, event tracking, and all the features you’re accustomed to in our mobile SDKs

Removed Support

Some features were removed from the SDK; if you still rely on these features, then you will wish to stay on the v1 SDK:

• Support for HTTP setups; this is also referred to as “secure bridge”. The v2 SDK requires HTTPS on all pages.
  • The registration page plugin has been removed, as it was only needed for these setups
• Multi-domain setups are not supported; this is where a single registration was shared across multiple domains or subdomains.
• APNs Safari is no longer supported, as Apple started supporting VAPID push in Safari 16 on macOS 13 and above, which was released October 2022.

Known Issues

• APNs Safari registrations are not automatically migrated to VAPID, and must be re-registered using the sdk.register() method.
• AMP support is untested and not supported for new integrations

• Removes early access feature flag support; this feature will return in a later release

This release fixes some minor defects. It is fully backward compatible with existing installations.

• fix some issues with autogenerated docs for custom events
• introduces a workaround for chrome incorrectly reporting web push permission status in some cases
• transpile external modules for ES5, matching the rest of the SDK’s compilation target
