iOS SDK upgrade guide

This guide provides information about how to upgrade to the latest Swrve iOS SDK. For information about the changes that have been made in each iOS SDK release, see iOS SDK release notes.

Upgrading via CocoaPods

If you’re upgrading via CocoaPods, ensure you complete the following for every upgrade:

Update all libraries to the latest SDK version; for example, 6.0.2.
Run the command pod repo update to ensure all references are up to date (for example, Geo SDK).

Version 6.0.2

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 6.0, see below. Otherwise, there are no code changes required to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v6.0.2.

Version 6.0.1

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 6.0, see below. Otherwise, there are no code changes required to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v6.0.1.

Version 6.0

This section provides information for upgrading to Swrve iOS SDK v6.0.

Removed	Summary
`+(void) processNotificationResponseWithIdentifier:(NSString )identifier andUserInfo:(NSDictionary )userInfo;`	No longer applicable with minimum support set at iOS 10.
`+(void)pushNotificationReceived:(NSDictionary*)userInfo;`	No longer applicable with minimum support set at iOS 10.
`+(void) sharedInstanceWithAppID:(int)swrveAppID apiKey:(NSString)swrveAPIKey launchOptions:(NSDictionary)launchOptions;`	Removed launch options from the initilization, no longer required.
`+(void) sharedInstanceWithAppID:(int)swrveAppID apiKey:(NSString)swrveAPIKey config:(SwrveConfig)swrveConfig launchOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions;`	Removed launch options from the initilization, no longer required.
`userId` property from `SwrveConfig`	To set a custom user ID, use our new Identify API call. For more information, see the iOS integration guide.
SWRVE_ADDRESS_BOOK SWRVE_LOCATION SWRVE_PHOTO_LIBRARY SWRVE_PHOTO_CAMERA	Removed the iOS permissions-related optional framework build flags. Enable permissions by implementing the `SwrvePermissionsDelegate` delegate. For more information, see the iOS integration guide.
`pushCategories` property from `SwrveConfig.h`	Removed support for non-iOS 10+ push categories. Use the `notificationCategories` property instead.
Removed configuration of HTTP from `SwrveConfig`	The SDK now only supports HTTPS.

Authenticated push

If you want to use our new user identity authenticated push feature, ensure you configure your app to use silent notifications. For information on how to configure silent notifications, see the iOS integration guide.

Version 5.3

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 5.0, see the iOS SDK 5.0 Upgrade Guide. Otherwise, there are no code changes required to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v5.3.

Version 5.2.2

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 5.0, see the iOS SDK 5.0 Upgrade Guide. Otherwise, there are no code changes required to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v5.2.2.

Version 5.2.1

Version 5.2

This section provides information for upgrading to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v5.2. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 5.0, see the iOS SDK 5.0 Upgrade Guide.

OTT Platform Support

Swrve iOS SDK 5.2 includes support for tvOS. If you install the SDK using CocoaPods, there are no extra steps. If you use Carthage or manually install the SDK, refer to the following.

Carthage – Ensure you’re running version 28 of Carthage or above and specify the platform as follows: Carthage update --platform tvOS.
Manual installation – If you are compiling your app to run on both iOS and tvOS, ensure you add the SwrveConversation-tvOS.storyboard resource to your app’s target membership in Xcode. Otherwise, exclude it to run on only iOS.

Version 5.1.1

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 5.0, see the iOS SDK 5.0 Upgrade Guide. Otherwise, there are no code changes required to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v5.1.1.

Version 5.1

If you are upgrading from a version prior to 5.0, see the iOS SDK 5.0 Upgrade Guide. Otherwise, there are no code changes required to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v5.1.

Version 5.0

This section provides information for upgrading to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v5.0.

New SwrveSDK Class and Internal Refactors

All interaction with the Swrve SDK is now done through a new class called SwrveSDK and we have also completed other refactoring to ensure internal consistency. For information on upgrading to version 5.0, see the iOS SDK 5.0 Upgrade Guide.

Optional iOS Frameworks

We have changed the process for excluding optional iOS frameworks in your app code. With the exception of push notifications, they are now excluded by default, and you must add the related Preprocessor Macros if you want to include the framework. For more information, see How Do I Exclude Optional iOS Frameworks?

Version 4.11.4

This section provides information for upgrading to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v4.11.4.

Rich Push Notification Buttons

Add a call to the Swrve SDK to handle button click actions and reporting for devices running iOS 9 or earlier:

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void (^)(void))completionHandler {

    [[Swrve sharedInstance] processNotificationResponseWithIndentifier:identifier andUserInfo:userInfo];
…
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void (^)(void))completionHandler {

[[Swrve sharedInstance] processNotificationResponseWithIndentifier:identifier andUserInfo:userInfo];

…

}

Version 4.11.3

This section provides information for upgrading to upgrade to Swrve iOS SDK v4.11.3.

Push Engagement Events and Remote Notification Handling

If you have the application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler: method in your app, update it to the following snippet and remove any calls to the now deprecated silentPushReceived method:

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
    // Inform the Swrve SDK
    BOOL handled = [[Swrve sharedInstance].talk didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo withBackgroundCompletionHandler:^ (UIBackgroundFetchResult fetchResult, NSDictionary* swrvePayload) {
        // NOTE: Do not call the Swrve SDK from this context

        // Your code here to process a Swrve remote push and payload

        completionHandler(fetchResult);
    }];

    If (!handled) {
        // Your code here, it is either a non-background push received in the background or a non-Swrve remote push
        // You’ll have to process the payload on your own and call the completionHandler as normal
    }
}

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler

{

// Inform the Swrve SDK

BOOL handled = [[Swrve sharedInstance].talk didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo withBackgroundCompletionHandler:^ (UIBackgroundFetchResult fetchResult, NSDictionary* swrvePayload) {

// NOTE: Do not call the Swrve SDK from this context

// Your code here to process a Swrve remote push and payload

completionHandler(fetchResult);

}];

If (!handled) {

// Your code here, it is either a non-background push received in the background or a non-Swrve remote push

// You’ll have to process the payload on your own and call the completionHandler as normal

}
