from the Core subspec of the SDK.- If you use the Core subspec, the in-app messages will not display, and trying to display Braze’s News Feed and Feedback UI will lead to unpredictable behavior.
2.29.1
Added
- Adds a new property
buttonTextFont
toABKInAppMessageButton
. It allows clients to set customized fonts on in-app message buttons before the in-app message is displayed.
Fixed
- Makes class
ABKInAppMessageWindowController.h
public.- Addresses https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/issues/105.
- Fixes an issue where device information was not flushed for a new user when server requests were queued for two or more users.
Changed
- Removes the warnings in
ABKSDWebImageProxy
.
2.29.0
Breaking
- Drops support for iOS 7.
- Removes the
shouldOpenURIExternally
field fromABKInAppMessage
. - Requires XCode 8.3.
- Changes the behavior of the
onCardClicked:feedViewController:
method inABKFeedViewControllerDelegate
to let Braze handle the card click action if the delegate method returnsNO
.- Previously, Braze would handle the card click action if
onCardClicked:feedViewController:
returnedYES
. - This change standardizes delegate behavior with
ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate
andABKURLDelegate
.
- Previously, Braze would handle the card click action if
Added
- Adds the property
openUrlInWebView
toABKInAppMessage
,ABKInAppMessageButton
andABKCard
. This property determines if the URL associated with the object will be opened in aUIWebView
. - Adds a Javascript interface to HTML in-app messages with ability to log custom events, log purchases, set user attributes, navigate users, and close the message.
- Adds an
abDeepLink
query field to HTML in-app messages, which defaults to false. To prevent the SDK from opening deep links in aUIWebView
, specifyabDeepLink=true
in your link (e.g.,https://www.braze.com?abDeepLink=true
). - Adds the
ABKURLDelegate
protocol for customizing URL handling across channels. Set theABKURLDelegate
by passing a delegate object to theABKURLDelegateKey
in theappboyOptions
ofstartWithApiKey:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:
. See our Stopwatch sample application for a Universal Link implementation sample. - Adds the following utility methods to
ABKPushUtils
for detecting if a push notification was sent by Braze for internal feature purposes:+ (BOOL)isAppboyInternalUserNotification:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
+ (BOOL)isAppboyInternalRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo;
+ (BOOL)isUninstallTrackingUserNotification:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
+ (BOOL)isGeofencesSyncUserNotification:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
+ (BOOL)isGeofencesSyncRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo;
- These methods can be used to ensure that your app does not take any undesired or unnecessary actions upon receiving Braze’s internal content-available notifications (e.g., pinging your server for content).
Changed
- Deprecates
ABKPushURIDelegate
. If you were previously usingABKPushURIDelegate
, useABKURLDelegate
instead. - Deprecates
userNotificationWasSentFromAppboy:
andpushNotificationWasSentFromAppboy:
onAppboy
. UseisAppboyUserNotification:
andisAppboyRemoteNotification:
onABKPushUtils
instead. - Deprecates
shouldFetchTestTriggersFlagContainedInPayload:
onABKPushUtils
.
2.28.0
Breaking:
- Removes support for watchOS 1, including Braze WatchKit SDK and all public APIs for watchOS in Braze iOS SDK.
Added
- Adds
ABKSDWebImageProxy
to access the SDWebImage framework. This will prevent the Core subspec of the SDK from calling any SDWebImage methods directly.
2.27.0
Breaking
- Removes the following deprecated items: the
bio
field ofABKUser
, thesetIsSubscribedToEmails:
method ofABKUser
, and thegetResourceEndpoint:
method of theABKAppboyEndpointDelegate
protocol.
Added
- Adds support for registering geofences and messaging on geofence events. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information about this feature.
- Adds Braze default push categories which can be fetched from
ABKPushUtils
.- To use the Braze default push categories, you need to manually add the Braze categories when you register for push. You can get the Braze categories from
[ABKPushUtils getAppboyUNNotificationCategorySet]
or[ABKPushUtils getAppboyUIUserNotificationCategorySet]
. - In this version, we add four sets of push action buttons: accept/decline, yes/no, confirm/cancel, more. These will be available as button sets on the dashboard when creating an iOS push campaign.
- All Braze push action buttons support localization.
- To use the Braze default push categories, you need to manually add the Braze categories when you register for push. You can get the Braze categories from
- Adds support for web link and deep link handling of push action buttons.
Fixed
- Fixes the issue where the combination of the Core subspec of the SDK and a non-supported version of SDWebImage framework can cause apps to crash.
- Addresses https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/issues/104.
Changed
- HTML in-app messages now log body click analytics on all links that are not
appboy://customEvent
and do not include theabButtonId
query field. Previously, no body click analytics were logged.
Removed
- Removes deprecated method
- (NSString *)getResourceEndpoint:(NSString *)appboyResourceEndpoint
fromABKAppboyEndpointDelegate
. - Removes deprecated property
bio
and deprecated method- (BOOL)setIsSubscribedToEmails:(BOOL)subscribed
fromABKUser
.
2.26.0
Breaking
- Adds support for SDWebImage version 4.0.0 with GIF support. SDWebImage version 3.x will not be supported from this version on. Please make sure you are using the correct version of SDWebImage.framework. Note: SDWebImage 4.0.0 relies on FLAnimatedImage - users integrating in ways besides CocoaPods should ensure they link the FLAnimatedImage framework if they want GIF support.
- Removes the
url
property from subclasses ofABKCard
. This property has been renamed tourlString
and moved onto theABKCard
superclass.
Added
- Adds Cocoapods subspecs “Core” and “UI”.
- The “UI” subspsec has the full feature set of the current SDK. This is the default subspec when no subspec is specified in the Podfile.
- The “Core” subspec removes the SDWebImage framework dependency. This is for apps who do not use any Braze UI that leverages images (News Feed, in-app messages). If you use the “Core” subspec, in-app messages with images will not display, and the News Feed will render with plain white images.
- Makes
ABKThemableFeedNavigationBar.h
andABKNavigationBar.h
public.- Addresses https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/issues/68
- Adds an
unsafeInstance
method that returns a nonoptionalAppboy
instance. If used before callingstartWithApiKey:
an exception will be thrown.- Addresses https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/issues/45.
- Adds
ABKIDFADelegate
protocol that can be used to create a delegate to pass Braze the IDFA instartWithApiKey:
in theappboyOptions
dictionary under theABKIDFADelegateKey
key. Alternative to existingABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider
compile flag solution.
Changed
- Disables the
-webkit-touch-callout
property on HTML in-app messages. Long presses and 3D Touch on links will no longer display pop-ups with additional link information.
2.25.0
Added
- Adds the ability to set the
ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate
when the SDK starts by passing a delegate object to theABKInAppMessageControllerDelegateKey
in theappboyOptions
ofstartWithApiKey:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:
.- This is the recommended way to set the
ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate
and circumvents a potential race condition where in-app messages can be shown before the delegate has been set.
- This is the recommended way to set the
- Exposes the ABKFeedback object and adds a new method
- (void)submitFeedback:(ABKFeedback *)feedback withCompletionHandler:(nullable void (^)(ABKFeedbackSentResult feedbackSentResult))completionHandler;
inAppboy
. The new method accepts a completion handler which receives an ABKFeedbackSentResult enum as feedback sending result.- The possible feedback sending results are: invalid feedback object(ABKInvalidFeedback), fail to send feedback(ABKNetworkIssue), and feedback sent successfully(ABKFeedbackSentSuccessfully).
- Adds the utility method
- (BOOL)userNotificationWasSentFromAppboy:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
toAppboy
. This method is compatible with theUserNotifications
framework and returns whether a push notification was sent from Braze’s server.- Those using
- (BOOL)pushNotificationWasSentFromAppboy:(NSDictionary *)options;
who have integrated theUserNotifications
framework should use this method instead.
- Those using
Fixed
- Changes the ABKInAppMessageButton from a
UIButton
object to a pure data model class inNSObject
.- This resolves the issue https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/issues/97.
Changed
- Adds more protection around triggered in-app message display.
2.24.5
Fixed
- Fixes an issue where in-app messages triggered off of push clicks wouldn’t fire when the push click happened before the in-app message configuration was synced to the device.
Changed
- Updates push registration to flush the token to the server immediately.
- Improves the accessibility of in-app messages and news feed cards.
- When in voiceOver mode, the SDK auto-focuses on in-app messages when they appear and resets focus on dismissal.
- VoiceOver no longer reads Braze internal labels.
- News feed cards are enhanced to be more accessible.
2.24.4
Added
- Adds protection around in-app message UI code to avoid displaying in-app messages with corrupted images.
Fixed
- Fixes the iOS version number in the deprecation warnings in Appboy.h.
2.24.3
Breaking
- Update REQUIRED for apps using Braze SDK 2.24.0, 2.24.1 or 2.24.2 with UserNotifications.framework
Fixed
- Fixes an issue where a user’s foreground push enabled status could erroneously be marked as disabled.
- This issue can occur when opening the app from suspended mode. At that time, the foreground push enabled status was defaulted to disabled until the UserNotifications.framework returned the user’s push authorization status. If the user closed the app within a few seconds, the SDK would not flush the updated push status and the user would mistakenly be marked as “push disabled”.
- This issue only affected apps using UserNotifications.framework to register for push notifications.
- The updated code stores the push authorization status on disk to fix the issue.
- Fixes an issue where triggered in-app messages with event property templating did not respect re-eligibility settings.
Changed
- Updates the Podspecs for iOS and tvOS SDK.
- Updates deprecation warnings to specify iOS version.
- Updates the ABKFeedController with more generic nullability.

2.24.2
Fixed
- Fixes an issue where HTML in-app messages loaded JavaScript more than once.
- Fixes the Appboy.inAppMessage.webview.done-button.title string in the French localization file, which was named incorrectly and wasn’t being found.
2.24.1
Added
- Adds nullability annotation for the completionHandler in
userNotificationCenter :didReceiveNotificationResponse:withCompletionHandler
.
2.24.0
Breaking
- Updates the SDK to require XCode 8.
- iOS 10 changes behavior of
application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler
and subsequently breaks open tracking and deep link handling on most existing Braze iOS integrations. If you don’t currently implementapplication:didReceiveRemoteNotification:
you need to modify your integration, and we recommend that all users update.
Added
- Updates the iOS and tvOS SDKs to support iOS 10.
- Adds a new method
- (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center didReceiveNotificationResponse:(UNNotificationResponse *)response withCompletionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler
. This method supports the new delegate method for push notification handling inUserNotification
framework.
Changed
- Deprecates two push delegate methods:
- (void)registerApplication:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)notification
and- (void)getActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(nullable void (^)())completionHandler
.
2.23.0
Added

- Adds Hebrew localization support.
2.21.0
Breaking
- Drops support for iOS 6.
Added

Fixed
- Fixes a bug where the background of a slideup in-app message remained transparent when configured with 100% opacity.
Changed
- Updates the podspec SDWebImage dependency to fetch the latest version.
- Replaces SDK usage of NSURLConnection with NSURLSession.
- Updates the SDK to always call
canOpenURL:
before opening a deep link. After this change, the SDK will only direct deep links whose schemes are whitelisted. - Updates push registration to immediately, asynchronously send up the push token.
2.20.1
Fixed
- Fixes an issue where in certain conditions NSUserDefault blocking would cause custom events logged in the main thread to result in UI freezing.
Changed
- Implements an optimization in push handling to not prefetch the News Feed when a push arrives and the app is in the background.
2.20.0
Added
- Adds Carthage support.
Fixed
- Fixes a multithreading issue where logging custom events from different threads would sporadically cause errors.
- Fixes the issue where a close button’s color on modal and full in-app messages didn’t respect the opacity value.
- Fixes an issue where failure to download HTML in-app message assets mid-download resulted in display without assets.
Changed
- Now the
onInAppMessageHTMLButtonClicked:clickedURL:buttonID:
delegate method will be called every time a URL is clicked. The method used to be only called when there was a button ID in the URL link. - Updates the feedback element to reject messages that contain only whitespace.
- Updates remote push handling to call the completion handler passed in every time (a code path previously existed that would return without calling it).
Removed
- Removes the delegate method
onInAppMessageHTMLButtonClicked:buttonID:
fromABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate
protocol.
2.19.3
Added
- Adds a new feature allowing manual control of deep link handling in push notications. To use this, add a
ABKPushURIDelegate
value for theABKPushURIDelegate
key in theappboyOptions
dictionary ofstartWithApiKey:inApplication:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:
. Also updates theABKPushURIDelegate
integration to be initialized through that integration point. - Adds guarding against a possible crash caused by a user’s offline state being corrupted and not including an active session when a network request occurred.
Fixed
- Fixes an issue where duplicate data could be recorded when a force quit or crash occurs after a network request completed successfully, but before any other activity (such as leaving the app, putting it to sleep, updating an attribute or firing some other event or purchase) occurred.
2.19.2
Added
- Adds warning when messaging doesn’t succeed because SDWebImage is not integrated.
Fixed
- Fixes a bug where users who went from being eligible for triggered messages to not being eligible for any triggered messages didn’t see their local triggers configuration get updated. This has already been fixed with a server-side update for affected versions; this update fixes the issue client-side.
Changed
- Updates headers to be compatible with Swift 2.2.
2.19.1
Added
- Adds sample code for a universal link in Stopwatch.
Fixed
- Fixes the benign issue that caused the log message
*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data is NULL
. - Fixes an issue where NULL campaign IDs in push messages (e.g. from a REST API push message without a specified campaign id) resulted in push-clicked triggers for triggered in-app messages not firing.
- Fixes an issue where calling
changeUser
between identified users caused the read/unread state of the news feed cards of the old user to be set as the new user’s read/unread states. - Fixes an issue where a user attribute value that had been set to multiple different values created a state that would not let you set the original value again. The bug was introduced in version 2.17.1.
Changed
- Analytics are now logged for in-app messages and in-app message buttons with ‘ABKInAppMessageNoneClickAction’ click actions.
ABKInAppMessageNoneClickAction
is set when an in-app message on the dashboard has a click action that only closes the in-app message; formerly this did not count as a click.
2.19.0
Added
- Adds support for action-based, locally triggered in-app messages. In-app messages are now sent to the device at session start with associated trigger events. The SDK will display in-app messages in near real-time when the trigger event associated with a message occurs. Trigger events can be app opens, push opens, purchases, and custom events.
Changed
- Deprecates the old system of requesting in-app message display, now collectively known as ‘original’ in-app messaging, where messages were limited to displaying at app start.
2.18.4
Fixed
- Fixes a Cocoapods issue that emerged during the release of 2.8.13.
2.18.3
Changed
- Makes an internal update to provide functionality for SDKs that embed this library.
2.18.2
Added
- Adds warning logging if
[Appboy sharedInstance]

- Applies the Braze endpoint delegate methods to in-app messages’ resource(zip and image) fetching.
Removed
- Removes the Facebook button from Feedback page.
2.16.1
Added
- Adds the ability to log a custom event from an HTML in-app message. To log a custom event from an HTML in-app message, navigate a user to a url of the form
appboy://customEvent?name=customEventName&p1=v2
, where thename
URL parameter is the name of the event, and the remaining parameters are logged as String properties on the event. - Adds the support for customization of the background color of modal in-app messages.
Fixed
- Fixes an issue where daylight savings changes were not reflected in the user profile timezone.
Changed
- Enables users to input text into HTML in-app messages by allowing HTML in-app messages to be displayed with a keyboard on screen. For all other in-app messages, the in-app message will be dismissed when a keyboard is displayed.
2.16
Added
- Adds HTML In-App Message types.
- HTML In-App Messages consist of HTML and a url of a zipped archive of assets (e.g. images, css) to download locally which the HTML can reference. See InAppMessageUIViewController in our Stopwatch sample app for an example for the callbacks on the actions inside the WebView hosting the HTML In-App Message.
Changed
- Deprecates the method
- (void) logSocialShare:(ABKSocialNetwork)socialNetwork
and enumABKSocialNetwork
in theAppboy
class. If you uselogSocialShare:
to track user’s social account sharing, you can uselogCustomEvent:
instead. - Deprecates the property
bio
in theABKUser
class.
2.15.1
Fixed
- Fixes the warning “full bitcode bundle could not be generated because XXX was built only with bitcode marker”.
2.15
Changed
- Updates the SDK to support iOS 9. In iOS9, previous versions of the SDK: 1) did not have bitcode support, 2) had a minor UI issue in in-app messages where the slideup messages were not docked on the bottom of the screen if they had one line of text, 3) failed to localize for zh-HK and zh-TW.
2.14
Breaking
- Migrates the SDK to ARC. If you are using our Apple Watch Extension and not using ARC, you must apply -fobjc-arc to the extension files.
Added
- Adds configurable session timeout feature.
- Adds feedbackViewControllerBeforeFeedbackSent method to the feedback delegate protocols, which can be used to modify the feedback message before it’s sent to Braze.
- Adds a
setAttributionData

Changed
- Updates the
isUninstallTrackingNotification
method inABKPushUtils
to return the correct value.
2.13
Added
- Adds an open-source Watch SDK to support data analytics on watchKit apps. You can use the Appboy-WatchKit SDK by downloading and adding the “Appboy-WatchKit” folder in your watchKit extension target. For more detail, please refer to ABWKUser.h and AppboyWatchKit.h.
- Adds an opt-in location service that logs background location events; adds ABKLocationManager with methods for allowing Braze to request location permission on your behalf and logging the current location. More information on the background location capabilities will be made available when dashboard support is released.
- Adds client side blocking of blacklisted attributes and events.
- Adds ABKPushUtils with method
+ (BOOL) isUninstallTrackingNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo;
that can be used to detect if a content-available push is from Braze uninstall tracking (and shouldn’t be acted upon). - Adds a new property
expiresAt
in class ABKCard. The property is the unix timestamp of the card’s expiration time. For more detail, please refer to ABKCard.h.
Changed
- Stops collecting user’s Twitter data automatically. You can pass a user’s Twitter information to Braze by initialzing a ABKTwitterUser object with the twitter data, and setting it to
[Appboy sharedInstance].user.twitterUser
. For more information, please refer toABKUser.h
andABKTwitterUser.h
. - Stops logging foreground push as a push open as it is not delivered by the system.
Removed

,ABKInAppMessageFullMessageLabel
to your NUI nss style sheet.
Fixed
- Fixes news feed issue where no news feed cards resulted in the loading spinner remaining on screen.
Changed
- Cleans up the console logging in Class ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.
2.12.0
Fixed
- Fixes the incorrect path runtime error for users who integrate our pod as a dynamic framework. For SDK versions before 2.12, when you integrate Braze with
use_frameworks!
in the Podfile, the library is integrated as a dynamic framework and the Appboy.bundle is stored in a different path.
Changed
- Changes HelloSwift sample app to integrate Braze SDK as a dynamic framework.
Removed
- Removes the subspecs from the podspec. This fixes the duplicate symbol error https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/issues/24. If you are still using subspec like
pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK/AppboyKit'
in your podfile, please make sure to change it topod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK'
.
2.11.3
Added
- Adds the ability to send and retrieve extra key-value pairs via a News Feed card.
- Adds the ability to define custom key-value properties on a custom event or purchase. Property keys are strings and values may be NSString, NSDate, or NSNumber objects.

.
2.10.2
Added
- Adds the fix for an edge case when there are extra UIWindows at the time in-app message is going to display, the in-app message would have issue during dismissing.
2.10.1
Fixed
- Fixes a bug which would cause the host app to crash when a deep link was launched from a push notification. In versions 2.10.0 and 2.9.4, if the host app used
[[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification:];
instead of[[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification: fetchCompletionHandler:];
, opening a push with a deep link would crash the host app in some circumstances.
2.10.0
Changed
- Updates the minimum deployment targets of Braze iOS SDK to iOS 6.0. For apps supporting lower iOS versions, please continue to use 2.9.+ versions of the Braze SDK.

[Appboy sharedInstance].user.facebookUser
. For more information, please refer toABKUser.h
andABKFacebookUser.h
.
Removed
- Removes Facebook SDK dependent builds. Now there is a single library - AppboyKit - and a single Pod without functional subspecs - Appboy-iOS-SDK (note we now have both the subspecs pointing at the same library). Please update your Podfile to
pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK
if you are integrating Braze with Cocoapods. - Removes the feature of prompting a user to connect his/her Facebook account. You can refer to the method
promptUserToConnectFacebookAccountOnDeviceAndFetchAccountData
in FacebookViewController.m to continue prompting the user to connect the Facebook account.
2.9.6
Added
- Adds the fix for an edge case when there are extra UIWindows at the time in-app message is going to display, the in-app message would have issue during dismissing.
2.9.5
Fixed
- Fixes a bug which would cause the host app to crash when a deep link was launched from a push notification. In versions 2.9.4, if the host app used
[[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification:];

2.9.2
Added
- Adds the ability to turn off Braze’s automatic location collection by setting the ABKDisableAutomaticLocationCollectionKey boolean in AppboyOptions in startWithApiKey:inApplication:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:.
- Adds the ability to send location tracking events to Braze manually using setLastKnownLocationWithLatitude:longitude:horizontalAccuracy: and setLastKnownLocationWithLatitude:longitude:horizontalAccuracy:altitude:verticalAccuracy: on the ABKUser. this is intended to be used with ABKDisableAutomaticLocationCollectionKey set to true in the AppboyOptions so that locations are only being recorded from a single source.
Fixed
- Fixes a news feed bug: sometimes the spinner keeps spinning on the screen even after the news feed card image is displayed.
Changed
- Updates sample app core location fetching code based on the changes in iOS 8.
2.9.1
Fixed
- Fixes a news feed bug: When a user refreshed the news feed by swiping down, if the total number of cards in the feed was going to be reduced by the refresh, the app would crash.
2.9.0
Fixed
- Fixes an App Store validation error introduced when the App Store started accepting submissions for iOS8. This was done by changing the packaging of the Braze framework to include a universal binary and a resource bundle (instead of combining them both together in a universal framework). Due to this change, Cocoapod integration is even more highly recommended than before to fully automate integration.
2.8.1
Added
- Adds a new method
- (void) getActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
to collect analytics data for push actions in iOS 8. It should be called in the UIApplication delegate method- (void) application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler
. For more details, please refer to Appboy.h. - New Custom Attribute Data Type (Array): Braze now supports custom attributes which contain an array of string elements. In addition, we also provide methods for adding or removing an string element from an array type custom attribute. For more information, please refer to ABKUser.h.
- Users can now pull down on the Braze Newsfeed to refresh the content on iOS version 6.0 or later.
Changed
- Restricts product identifier string to 255 characters for method
- (void) logPurchase:(NSString *)productIdentifier inCurrency:(NSString *)currencyCode atPrice:(NSDecimalNumber *)price
and- (void) logPurchase:(NSString *)productIdentifier inCurrency:(NSString *)currencyCode atPrice:(NSDecimalNumber *)price withQuantity:(NSUInteger)quantity
. - News feed card now can update the card height and display a full image based on the image ratio. Card image ratio used to be a fix number and images were aspect stretched to fit in the views.
- The right and left margins in the news feed are now touchable areas for scrolling.
- Card titles have been improved and will now truncate with “…” when they are more than 2 lines.
2.8
Breaking
- Renames the class names of news feed cards to match the names on dashboard:
v2.8 | v2.7 |
---|---|
ABKBannerCard | ABKCardBanner |
ABKCaptionedImageCard | ABKCardCaptionedMessage |
ABKCrossPromotionCard | ABKCardCrossPromotionSmall |
ABKClassicCard | ABKCardNews |
ABKTextAnnouncementCard | ABKCardTextAnnouncement |
Added
- Adds email and push notification subscription types for a user. Subscription types are explicitly opted in, subscribed, and unsubscribed. The previous email boolean subscribe method has been deprecated.
- Adds custom slideup orientation support. You can now ask the slideup to only support certain orientations. For more details on slideup custom orientation support, please refer to ABKSlideupController.h.
- Adds quantity parameter as an option when logging purchase. The quanlity should be an unsigned interger greater than 0 and no larger than 100. For more information, please refer to Appboy.h.
- Adds a class method in ABKCard to deserialize a given dictionary to a card. This is for use by wrappers such as Braze’s Unity SDK for iOS. Please refer to ABKCard.h for more information.
2.7
News Feed Update
- Exposes raw card data in ABKFeedController
- Developers can use the raw card data to creat custom user interfaces for the news feed. For more details on the card data, please refer to ABKFeedController.h.
- Addes support for categories on cards and news feed view controllers.
- Categories include Announcement, Advertising, Social, News and No Category. You can get cards of certain categories from ABKFeedController, or you can make ABKFeedViewController only display certain categories of cards.
- Uses SDWebImage to handle images downloading and caching in the news feed, display a spinner while downloading images and show a default image when no image available.
- Adds support for asynchronous image downloading in the news feed, asynchronous memory and disk image caching with automatic cache expiration handling.
- Adds news feed view controller delegate to support custom handling of card clicks on news feed.
- The app can customize click actions from the feed and display any card link in their own user interface.
Slideup Changes
- Updates ABKSlideupControllerDelegate method onSlideupClicked to return a BOOL value to indicate if Braze should continue to execute the click action.
- Stops logging slideup click when the slideup click action is ABKSlideupNoneClickAction.
Feedback Changes
- Updates the ABKFeedbackViewControllerPopoverContext so now it should be used in all cases where the feedback page displayed in a popover, including the case that the feedback is push on a navigation controller in a popover.
- Fixes the ABKFeedbackVIewControllerModalContext cancel button delegate issue.
- Fixes the form sheet style ABKFeedbackViewControllerModalContext layout issue.
Other Changes
- Adds API to request feed and slideup refresh.
- Adds API to log news feed displayed and feedback displayed.
- Allows updating analytics data even using customized news feed or feedback user interfaces.
- Updates badge count policy to only update when app is foreground.
- Adds clearTwitterDataWhenNoDataOfTwitterIdentifier to ABKUser, allowing developer to clear user data when a user disconnectes their twitter accounts.
- Updates custom key and string value for custom attributes to automatically trim.
2.6.3
Changed
- Updates the SDK to authenticate with the Twitter API using SSL.
2.6.2
Fixed
- Fixes a news feed card click tracking issue.
Changed
- Updates data flush time interval.
2.6.1
Fixed
- Fixes a minor display problem that affected news items with no image or link for version 2.6.
2.6
Breaking
- Braze iOS SDK now supports 64 bit as well. The minimum deployment targets that Braze iOS SDK supports is iOS 5.1.1.
- The Braze iOS SDK will now allow function with 64-bit apps. This version of the SDK only supports iOS 5.1.1+. Legacy iOS apps should continue to use version 2.5 of the SDK.
- You can install legacy versions of our SDK via CocoaPods by following changing the podfile to include something like the following example
pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK/AppboyKit', '~> 2.5'
.
2.5.1
Fixed
- Fixes a minor display problem that affected news items with no image or link for version 2.5.
2.5
Localization
Localization is now supported in version 2.5 of the Braze SDK. We have provided .string
files for English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. You can also optionally override our Braze’s default LocalizedAppboyUIString.strings
right within your app’s Localizable.Strings
file in much the same way you would do an override in CSS. To do so, copy the key and string pair into your Localizable.Strings
file and edit the string as you so desire.
For your convenience our CocoaPod integrates the LocalizedAppboyUIString.strings
files for the three aforementioned languages. If you do not wish to use one or more of these languages, you can feel free to delete these files from your project.
Slideup Upgrade
Braze version 2.5 provides a substantial upgrade to the slideup code and reorganization for better flexibility moving forward, but at the expense of a number of breaking changes. We’ve detailed the changes in this changelog and hope that you’ll love the added power, increased flexibility, and improved UI that the new Braze slideup provides. If you have any trouble with these changes, feel free to reach out to [email protected] for help, but most migrations to the new code structure should be relatively painless.
New Slideup Controller
- The property
slideupController
has been added to the Braze object. Please see ABKSlideupController.h for details.- The
delegate
property allows you to specify a delegate for the slideup.- This replaces
slideupDelegate
which has been removed.
- This replaces
- The
displayNextSlideupWithDelegate:
method displays the next available slideup with the specified delegate.- This replaces
provideSlideupToDelegate:
which has been removed from Braze.
- This replaces
- The
slideupsRemainingOnStack
method returns the number of slideups that are waiting locally to be displayed. - The
addSlideup:
method allows you to display a slideup object with custom content. This is useful in testing or if you want to use the Braze slideup’s UI/UX with another notification system that you are using.- Clicks and impressions of slideups added by this method will not be collected by Braze.
hideCurrentSlideup:
method will remove any slideup currently on screen, with or without animation.
- The
New Slideup Properties and Methods in ABKSlideup.h
The following properties and methods all belong to the ABKSlideup
object. Please see ABKSlideup.h
for more information.
New Properties
- The
extras
property carries additional data within key value pairs that have been defined on the dashboard, just like a push notification. Braze does nothing with the extras property, any additional behavior is at your discretion. - The
slideupAnchor
property defines whether the slideup originates from the top or the bottom of the screen. - The
slideupDismissType
property controls whether the slideup will dismiss automatically after a period of time has lapsed, or if it will wait for interaction with the user before disappearing.- The slideup will be dismissed automatically after the number of seconds defined by the newly added
duration
property if the slideup’sslideupDismissType
isABKSlideupDismissAutomatically
.
- The slideup will be dismissed automatically after the number of seconds defined by the newly added
- The
slideupClickActionType
property defines the action behavior after the slideup is clicked: displaying a news feed, redirect to a uri, or nothing but dismissing the slideup. This property is read only. If you want to change the slideup’s click behavior, you can call one of the following method:setSlideupClickActionToNewsFeed
,setSlideupClickActionToUri:
orsetSlideupClickActionToNone
. - The
uri
property defines the uri string that the slide up will open when the slideupClickActionType is ABKSlideupRedirectToURI. This is a read only property, you can callsetSlideupClickActionToUri:
to change it’s value.
New Methods
logSlideupImpression
andlogSlideupClicked
have been added to allow you to report user interactions with the slideup in the case that you’ve fully customized the slideup experience and Braze is not handling the interactions.setSlideupClickActionToNewsFeed
,setSlideupClickActionToUri:
andsetSlideupClickActionToNone
have been added to allow you to change the slideup’s click action behavior.setSlideupClickActionToUri:
accepts a uri string as parameter and required the given uri string is valid.
Delegate Method Changes
All former Braze slideup delegate methods have been depreciated and removed. In their place Braze has added new slideup delegate methods within ABKSlideupControllerDelegate.h
.
onSlideupReceived:
is called when slideup objects are received from the Braze server.beforeSlideupDisplayed:withKeyboardIsUp:
is called before slideup objects are displayed, the return value determines whether the slideup will be displayed, queued or discarded.slideupViewControllerWithSlideup:
This delegate method allows you to specify custom view controllers in which your slideups will be displayed.- The custom view controller should be a subclass of
ABKSlideupViewController
.- Alternatively, it can also be an instance of
ABKSlideupViewController
.
- Alternatively, it can also be an instance of
- The view of the returned view controller should be an instance of
ABKSlideupView
or its subclass. - For integration examples of a custom slideup view controller, see the
CustomSlideupViewController
class in Braze’s sample app Stopwatch.
- The custom view controller should be a subclass of
onSlideupClicked:
is called when a user clicks on a slideup. We recommend that you specify behavior on click via the dashboard, but you can additionally specify behavior on click by defining this delegate method.onSlideupDismissed:
is called whenever the slideup is dismissed regardless of whether the dismissal occurs automatically or via swipe. This method is not called if the user clicks on the slideup. If the user clicks or taps on the slideup,onSlideupClicked
is called instead.
New Options on the Dashboard
- Slideup behavior on click can now be set within the dashboard to open a modal news feed, open a URI within a modal, or do nothing.
- The following properties can be set remotely from the Braze Dashboard:
extras
slideupAnchor
slideupDismissType
slideupClickActionType
uri
News Feed Changes
- News feed items are now cached in offline storage, allowing the news feed to render even when no internet connectivity is available. Braze will still automatically try to pull down a new news feed when a session opens, even if an offline feed is available.
- Each card now has a maximum height of no more than 2009 points to avoid any performance issues as recommended by iOS developer guidelines.
- The entirety of captioned image cards are now clickable. Formerly, only the link itself was clickable.
- When the news feed is brought to the foreground, it will now automatically check for new content if the cached version of the feed was received more than 60 seconds ago.
— The width of news feed cards as well as the minimum margin between any card and the left & right edges of the view controller can now be customized. These values can be set separately for both iPad and iPhone. This allows for a larger news feed to render on larger screen sizes. All card images will scale proportionally. Please see
ABKFeedViewControllerContext.h
andABKFeedViewController.h
for more information.
Other Changes
- Various internal and news feed display optimizations.
2.4
- IDFA Collection is now optional.
- By default, IDFA collection is now disabled by the Braze SDK.
- There will be no loss of continuity on user profiles or loss of functionality whatsoever as a result of this change.
- If you’re using advertising elsewhere in the app or through our in-app news feed, we recommend continuing to collect the IDFA through Braze. You should be able to do so safely without fear of rejection from the iOS App Store.
- The future availability of IDFAs will enable functionality like integrating with other third-party systems, including your own servers, and enabling re-targeting of existing users outside of Braze. If you continue to record them we will store IDFAs free of charge so you can take advantage of these options immediately when they are released without additional development work.
- Necessary Project Changes
- ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.m and ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.h must be added to your project regardless of whether or not you enable collection. This occurs automatically if you integrate/update via the CocoaPod.
- Enabling Braze IDFA Collection
- IDFA collection can be enabled via adding the following PreProcessor Macro to the Build Settings of your app:
ABK_ENABLE_IDFA_COLLECTION
- IDFA collection can be enabled via adding the following PreProcessor Macro to the Build Settings of your app:
- By default, IDFA collection is now disabled by the Braze SDK.
2.3.1
- The Braze SDK for iOS now has two versions, one for use with apps which incorporate the official Facebook SDK and one for those which do not. In November of 2013, the App Store Validation Process started generating warnings about the usage of isOpen and setActiveSession in the Braze SDK. These selectors were being sent to instances of classes in the Facebook SDK and are generally able to be used without generating warnings. However because of the way that the classes were initialized in Braze (a result of building a single Braze binary to fully support apps with and without the Facebook SDK), the App Store Validation Process started generating warnings the Facebook SDK methods share a name with private selectors elsewhere in iOS. Although none of our customers have been denied App Store approval yet, to protect against potential validation policy changes by Apple, Braze now provides two versions of its SDK, neither of which generate warnings. Going forward, the appboy-ios-sdk repository will provide both versions of the SDK in the folders ‘AppboySDK’ (as before) and ‘AppboySDKWithoutFacebookSupport’. The ‘AppboySDKWithoutFacebookSupport’ does not require the host app to include the Facebook SDK, but as a result does not include all of the Braze features for Facebook data fetching. More information is available here within the Braze documentation.
- Fixed a bug that repeatedly updated the push token of some users unnecessarily.
- The “Reporting an Issue?” box within the UI layout of the Feedback Page has been moved to the left side of the label away from the “Send” button. This change was made to reduce the number of misclicks of the “Send” button. The “Reporting an Issue?” label is now clickable as well.
- Cross Promotion Cards for apps with long titles will now render appropriately in iOS5. Before the title would render abnormally large on these devices.
- Fixed a bug where view recycling would cause incorrect card images to appear for newly rendered cards (until the image for that card finished downloading). Card images for newly rendered cards will now remain empty until the correct image is downloaded.
- Internal changes to enable future support for a 64 bit library release.
- Improvements to the Braze Sample App.
- Internal code structure and performance improvements including the move of more offline caching to background tasks.
2.3
- BREAKING CHANGE: The ABKSlideupControllerDelegate interface has been changed to work with ABKSlideup objects instead of simply the slideup message. This provides you with more control over the click actions and display of slideups and is also being made in anticipation of the augmentation of the ABKSlideup object with more data properties in future releases. To access the message previously sent to shouldDisplaySlideup, simply access the message property on the provided ABKSlideup argument.
- displayNextAvailableSlideup has been deprecated and will be removed in the next minor release, it has been replaced by provideSlideupToDelegate, see Appboy.h documentation for more information.
- provideSlideupToDelegate has been added to Braze to allow for more fine grained control over slideup display.
- Fixes a bug where the slideupDelegate property getter on Braze would always return nil.
- Changes the slideupDelegate property on Braze to be retained, instead of assigned.
2.2.1
- Adds a startup option to appboyOptions to control the automatic capture of social network data. See the documentation on ABKSocialAccountAcquisitionPolicy in Appboy.h for more information.
- Changes a table cell’s default background color to clear, from the white value that became default in iOS7.
- Adds support for developer to send up image_url for user avatars, allowing for custom images to be included in user profiles on the dashboard.
2.2
- Adds support for new banner and captioned image card types.
- Adds support for submitting feedback programmatically through an Appboy.h method without using Braze feedback form. This allows you to create your own feedback form.
- Fixes an issue where the the news feed’s web view would display “Connection Error” when a user came back into the app after a card had directed him or her to a protocol URL. Now when users come back from a redirected protocol URL, the feed is properly displayed.
- Fixes an issue where the SDK might have incorrectly sent both read and write Facebook permissions at the same time, instead preferring to request only those read permissions that Braze is interested in and have already been requested by the incorporating app.
- Fixes a corner case where card impressions could be miscounted when the feed view controller is the master view controller of a split view.
- Makes cards truncate properly at two lines.
2.1.1
- URGENT BUGFIX: This fixes an issue which exists in all previous versions of the v2 SDK which is causing crashes on the just release iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. All users of v2 are recommended to upgrade the Braze SDK to 2.1.1 immediately and re-submit to the app store.
2.1.0
- Adds support for iOS 7. You will need to use Xcode 5 to use this and future versions of the Braze iOS SDK.
- Updates internal usage of NUI. If you’re using NUI, please ensure that you are at least using version 0.3.3 (the most up to date as of this writing is 0.3.4).
- Removes support for iOS 4.3.
- Optimizes news feed rendering for faster start up times and smoother scrolling of long feeds.
- Removes the deprecated - (void) logPurchase:(NSString *)productId priceInCents:(NSUInteger)price method in favor of the new multi-currency tracking method. Conversion of old method calls is straightforward.
[[Appboy sharedInstance] logPurchase:@"powerups" priceInCents:99];
should turn into[[Appboy sharedInstance] logPurchase:@"powerups" inCurrency:@"USD" atPrice:[[[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithFloat:.99f] autorelease]];
- Any references to the
delegate
property of ABKFeedbackViewControllerModalContext should be updated to the new property namefeedbackDelegate
. - Following the removal of support for 4.3, removes SBJson parsing and uses built-in parsing added in iOS5 to improve performance and lower the SDK footprint.
2.0.4
- Adds support for reporting purchases in multiple currencies. Also, changes the price reporting object type to NSDecimalNumber for consistency with StoreKit.
- Adds additional space savings optimizations to image assets.
- Minor fix to orientation change handling in the example app code.
2.0.3
- Adds the ability to assign a Foursquare access token for each user. Doing so will cause the Braze backend to make Foursquare data available in user profiles on the dasbhard.
- Adds more fine grained control options for Braze’s network activity. See Appboy.h for more information.
2.0.2
- Fixes a bug where Braze might reopen a Facebook read session when a publish session already exists
2.0.1
- UI Improvements
- Fixed a bug when using the nav context feedback in a popover window that would cause the email bar to disappear
- Updated news feed’s close button when opened from a slide up
- Added a loading spinner on the feedback page when fetching email address from Facebook
- Fixed the bug where the modal context feed page’s navigation bar would not adhere to NUI theming
- Improved the look of the popover content feedback page
- Enabled resizable webpages when clicking on to a web URL through a card
- API updates
- Updated custom user attribute setting methods to return a boolean value indicating if the setting is successful
- Added methods for incrementing custom user attributes
- Added support for device push tokens as NSData when registering the token to Braze
- More detailed error messages logged in console
- Removed the enable/disable Braze methods from
Appboy.h
2.0
