Geo SDK release notes

Request a copy of the Swrve Geo Sample project for your app platform from your CSM at support@swrve.com. They will enable Geoplaces in your Swrve dashboard and give you your Geo API key.

For upgrade instructions, see the Geo SDK upgrade guide.

Release iOS 5.0.1

Release date: July 14, 2021

Fixes

  • Fixed runtime issue linking to SwrveSDKCommon. The Swrve Geo SDK 5.0.1 has a hard dependency on the native Swrve SDK version 7.0.3

Release iOS 5.0.0

Release date: June 17, 2021

Features

  • Moved to XCFramework for building .frameworks. CocoaPods now delivers SwrveGeoSDK as an XCFramework (requires minimum CocoaPods version 1.9.0).
  • The Swrve Geo SDK 5.0.0 has a hard dependency on the native Swrve SDK version 7.0.2.

Release Android 6.0.0

Release date: Apr 20, 2021

Features

  • We’ve optimized Android Geo SDK 6.0.0 to display all geo notifications from a notification cache that is refreshed regularly and at app start. As a result, notifications now display faster due to less background restrictions being applied. This also brings the SDK more in-line with Android’s background processing best practices.
  • Removed the previously deprecated SwrveGeoCustomFilter from SwrveGeoConfig. Please use SwrveGeoNotificationFilter instead which provides richer details.
  • Removed maxDisplayWindowMinutes from SwrveGeoConfig.

Release Android 5.1.0

Release date: Mar 19, 2021

Features

  • The Android Geo SDK 5.1.0 now supports Android 11 (targetSdkVersion 30).
  • Deprecated SwrveGeoCustomFilter in SwrveGeoConfig.customFilter. Please use SwrveGeoNotificationFilter in SwrveGeoConfig.notificationFilter instead which provides richer details about the triggered notification.

Release iOS 4.1.0

Release date: Oct 20, 2020

Features

  • Added new iOS 14 location delegate method to record new accuracy permission level: full or reduced.

Release Android 5.0.0 and iOS 4.0.0

Release date: July 6, 2020

Features

  • Android: Added APIs for managing location permission requests. Use the optional APIs to include a pre-prompt or post-prompt message that explains to users the reason your app requires location permission. For more information, see the Geo integration guide.
  • iOS: Added isStarted API to SwrveGeoSDK that returns true if the SDK starts successfully.
  • iOS: The Swrve Geo SDK 4.0.0 has a hard dependency on the native Swrve SDK version 6.5.3.
  • QA device logging includes a new Geoplace Triggered event. This event displays information about the geoplace, the enter or exit transition, whether or not the trigger was suppressed, and the reason for suppression, if relevant.

  • You can now include a callback in the SwrveGeoConfig that executes when a user moves through a geoplace. For more information, see the Geo integration guide.
