Cordova SDK release notes

Swrve has an open source SDK repository. There are two options for downloading the latest public Cordova SDK plugin:

  • Install the plugin from NPM using the following command:
    cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-swrve
  • Download the plugin from the GitHub public repository or clone the repository.

For upgrade instructions, see the Cordova SDK upgrade guide.

Updating native SDK dependencies

To upgrade to the latest version of the Swrve Cordova SDK plugin, replace the cordova-plugin-swrve folder in your project with the one found in latest release on GitHub. Or use the following command:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-swrve

When you add the updated folder, we recommend using the Cordova platform remove and platform add commands to ensure all changes are fully moved over.

To reduce the need to release a new version of the Cordova SDK Plugin for every native Swrve SDK release, we’ve updated the Plugin to automatically use the latest minor version of its native Swrve SDK dependency (for example, iOS 8.X.X). It does not automatically include support for major version upgrades. For information on the latest SDK dependency, see iOS SDK release notes and Android SDK release notes.
