Version 6.2.0

Released on 4/24/2023

New & Improved

• Implemented Customer Authentication features from the legacy SDK in the new SDK (See iOS Integration Reference). This allows apps with sensitive data to be shared among multiple users on a single device

• Marked the key and signature properties on Apptentive.AppCredentials as public (to facilitate testing code that creates a credentials object)
• Added @objc annotations to interaction UI customization parameters
• Added appropriate guards to allow the SDK to compile for Mac Catalyst targets**

*Customization is not currently available with the 6.x SDK if you are using one of our plugins

Version 6.0

ApptentiveKit is a brand new rewrite of the Alchemer Mobile iOS SDK. The framework is written entirely in Swift. ApptentiveKit’s version numbering begins with version 6.0 to maintain continuity with our legacy SDK, which was most recently released as 5.3.4. This version incorporates an updated UI (with ADA/WCAG compliant designs), as well as a variety of new features.

Features

• Brand new all-Swift codebase
• Swift Package Manager integration
• Many Swift-friendly updates, such as subscripting of custom data attributes

Targeting

• Interaction Response Targeting, allowing you to target interactions based on responses to previous interactions
• Random Sampling, allowing you to target a random subset of customers

Interactions

• Redesigned Survey and Message Center interactions

Styling

• Easy customization of fonts, colors, and images
• Ability to replace entire user interface of any interaction

Limitations

We have done our best to maintain API compatibility with previous versions, and made a strong effort to keep feature parity with prior versions of the Alchemer Mobile SDK for iOS, but support for a handful of rarely-used features have been postponed until later releases.

Known Issues

• There can be a substantial delay between sending a reply to a message in the Alchemer Mobile Dashboard and the consumer’s device displaying a notification
• The message composer in Message Center on iPad devices has a layout that can be confusing to consumers in certain configurations
• Some methods may be marked as deprecated when no suitable alternative is present for Objective-C developers
• There is an issue in the ApptentiveKit.podspec file that affects CocoaPods integrations with a deployment target of iOS 11 (running on iOS 11 devices). For the time being, please use the cocoapods-fix branch in your podfile:
  pod 'ApptentiveKit', :git => 'https://github.com/apptentive/apptentive-kit-ios.git', :branch => 'cocoapods-fix'

Postponed Functionality

• Determining whether an interaction will be presented is not yet supported (queryCanShowInteraction)
• (NS)Notifications in response to various SDK events are currently not emitted
• The ability to programmatically dismiss any presented interactions is currently not available
• Custom data associated with an event engagement is currently unavailable
• Support for multiple user accounts (login/logout) is currently unavailable
