  • Updated the Android native Swrve dependency to 7.1.0.

  • Fixed an issue in the Android Hooks where a pre-existing drawables folder could prevent Gradle and google-services.json modifications from happening.
  • Fixed an issue in the Hooks where the platform package ID was not observed for PackageName. Now, if included, the widget IDs android-packageName and ios-CFBundleIdentifier will be the packageName observed rather than id.
  • Fixed an issue in the Hooks where async file transfers were not completing or colliding with other plugins operating in the same area of the generated project.
  • Introduced public tests to verify and improve the reliability of our hook systems.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue were the custom payload was not returning when a user engaged with a push notification.
