  • 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.

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.
