3.28.0

Breaking

Removes userNotificationWasSentFromAppboy: and pushNotificationWasSentFromAppboy: on Appboy. Use isAppboyUserNotification: and isAppboyRemoteNotification: in ABKPushUtils instead.
Updates ABKURLDelegate's method signature for handleAppboyURL:fromChannel:withExtras: to include nullability annotations required for proper Swift support.

Fixed

Fixes a race condition in Appboy method wipeDataAndDisableForAppRun where certain persisted fields would still be available immediately after calling the method. These fields now are removed synchronously.

Changed

Updated SDWebImage to use version 5.9.x.

3.27.0

Breaking

Adds support for iOS 14. Requires Xcode 12.
Removes the ABK_ENABLE_IDFA_COLLECTION preprocessor macro from the SDK.
- If you wish to send IDFA to Braze, please use the ABKIDFADelegate. For more information, reference our documentation.
Updates the ABKIDFADelegate protocol by renaming isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled to isAdvertisingTrackingEnabledOrATTAuthorized to reflect the addition of the AppTrackingTransparency framework in iOS 14.
- If you use the Ad Tracking Enabled segment filter on the Braze dashboard or are implementing AppTrackingTransparency, you must update your integration to use AppTrackingTransparency to read the correct user status. Please see our sample app for implementation details.
- If you do not use the Ad Tracking Enabled segment filter and are not implementing AppTrackingTransparency yet, your implementation of isAdvertisingTrackingEnabledOrATTAuthorized may temporarily continue to use isAdvertisingTrackingEnabled. However, the returned value will always be NO in iOS 14, regardless of actual IDFA availability.
- Note that Apple announced that they will delay the enforcement of upcoming IDFA changes until early 2021. Please reference our iOS 14 upgrade guide for more details.
Updates the minimum required version of SDWebImage from 5.0 to 5.8.2.
Integrators will now be required to exclude the arm64 simulator slice in their entire project.
- This is done automatically when integrating via Cocoapods.
- For other cases:
  - If you are using xcconfig files to build your app, please set:
    - For iOS targets: EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] = arm64
    - For tvOS targets: EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=appletvsimulator*] = arm64
  - If you are using the Xcode Build Settings panel, enable Build Active Architecture Only for the configuration you use to run your app on the simulator. (ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH = YES)

3.26.1

Changed

Deprecates the compilation macro ABK_ENABLE_IDFA_COLLECTION in favor of the ABKIDFADelegate implementation.
- ABK_ENABLE_IDFA_COLLECTION will not function properly in iOS 14. To continue collecting IDFA on iOS 14 devices, please upgrade to Xcode 12 and implement App Tracking Transparency and Braze's ABKIDFADelegate (see the iOS 14 upgrade guide for more information).

Added

Adds improved support for iOS 14 Approximate Location tracking.

Changed

Updates the logging format for debug, warn, and error ABKLogger messages to now print their log level.

Added

Adds support for the upcoming feature, in-app messages with Dark Mode support.
- Dark Mode enabled messages must be created from the dashboard. Braze does not dynamically theme in-app messages for Dark Mode.
- This feature is enabled by default for all new ABKInAppMessage instances. To prevent Braze from automatically applying a Dark Theme when the fields are available on Braze's servers, set the enableDarkTheme flag on ABKInAppMessage to NO in the beforeInAppMessageDisplayed: method of your ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate delegate implementation.
Adds the ability to reference the Braze iOS SDK API from Swift when using the Appboy-tvOS-SDK pod. Adding import AppboyTVOSKit to the top of your Swift file while using the Appboy-tvOS-SDK pod will give you equivalent behavior to adding import Appboy_iOS_SDK while using the Appboy-iOS-SDK pod.
Adds the populateContentCards: method and the cards property to ABKContentCardsTableViewController's public interface. By setting the cards property from within populateContentCards:, you may manipulate ABKContentCard field data and/or control which ABKContentCard instances are displayed from the context of a custom ABKContentCardsTableViewController subclass.

3.20.4

Fixed

Fixed an issue with Content Cards where the header and description text fields would appear to be missing in Dark Mode.

Added

Adds a TEALIUM SDK flavor option.

3.20.3

Added

If Automatic Braze location collection is enabled, the SDK now submits a session start location request if location hasn't already been sent up for the session after any affirmative location permission prompt. This also applies to the new "Allow Once" option in iOS 13.

3.20.2

Important If you are on Braze iOS SDK 3.19.0 or below, we recommend upgrading to this version immediately to ensure uninterrupted collection of new push tokens as users upgrade to iOS 13.

In application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:, replace

[[Appboy sharedInstance] registerPushToken:
                [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", deviceToken]];

with

[[Appboy sharedInstance] registerDeviceToken:deviceToken];

If you are on Braze iOS SDK 3.19.0 or below and unable to upgrade, you must ensure your [Appboy registerPushToken] implementation does not rely on stringWithFormat or description for parsing the deviceToken passed in from application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager for more information.
Important In Braze iOS SDK 3.19.0, we updated our HTML in-app message container from UIWebview to WKWebView, however, the initial releases have known issues displaying HTML in-app messages. If you are currently using 3.19.0, 3.20.0, or 3.20.1, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade if you make use of HTML in-app messages. Please see the following for more important information about the transition to WKWebView:
- If you are utilizing customization for HTML in-app messages (such as customizing ABKInAppMessageHTMLFullViewController or ABKInAppMessageHTMLViewController), we strongly recommend testing to ensure your in-app messages continue to display correctly and interactions function as intended.
- The following javascript methods are now no-ops: alert, confirm, prompt.
- Deep links without schemes are no longer supported. Ensure that your in-app message deep links contain schemes.

Fixed

Fixes an issue introduced in 3.19.0 where HTML in-app messages would not register user clicks when the .xib failed to load.
Fixes an issue introduced in 3.19.0 where HTML in-app messages with select special characters and an assets zip would cause display irregularities.

Replaces UIWebView with WKWebView for HTML in-app messages.
- If you are utilizing customization for HTML in-app messages (such as customizing ABKInAppMessageHTMLFullViewController or ABKInAppMessageHTMLViewController), you must test to ensure your in-app messages continue to display correctly and interactions function as intended.
- The following javascript methods are now no-ops: alert, confirm, prompt.
- Deep links without schemes are no longer supported. Please ensure that your in-app message deep links contain schemes.

3.18.0

Breaking

Automatic Braze location collection is now disabled by default. If you choose to use our location collection, you must explicitly enable location collection.
- You can do this in the plist by adding the Appboy dictionary to your Info.plist file. Inside the Appboy dictionary, add the EnableAutomaticLocationCollection boolean subentry and set the value to YES.
- You can also enable location at runtime by setting ABKEnableAutomaticLocationCollectionKey to YES in appboyOptions.
Removes the Feedback feature from the SDK. The Feedback subspec and all Feedback methods on the SDK, including [[Appboy sharedInstance] submitFeedback] and [[Appboy sharedInstance] logFeedbackDisplayed], are removed.

Changed

Improves support for in-app messages on “notched” devices (for example, iPhone X, Pixel 3XL). Full-screen messages now expand to fill the entire screen of any phone, while covering the status bar.

Added

Adds the ability to enable Braze Geofences without enabling Braze location collection. You can set this in the plist by adding the Appboy dictionary to your Info.plist file. Inside the Appboy dictionary, add the EnableGeofences boolean subentry and set the value to YES to enable Braze Geofences. You can also enable geofences at runtime by setting ABKEnableGeofencesKey to YES in appboyOptions.
- If this key is not set, it will default to the status of automatic location collection (see breaking change above).
- Note that Braze Geofences will continue to work on existing integrations if location collection is enabled and this new configuration is not present. This new configuration is intended for integrations that want Braze Geofences, but not location collection enabled as well.

3.17.0

Breaking

Removes ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate.
- You can now set the endpoint at runtime by setting the value of ABKEndpointKey in appboyOptions to your custom endpoint (ex. sdk.api.braze.eu) at initialization.

3.16.0

Important: If you are using ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate, you will need to replace dev.appboy.com with sdk.iad-01.braze.com in the getApiEndpoint method.

Breaking

Removes the methods: allowRequestWhenInUseLocationPermission and allowRequestAlwaysPermission from ABKLocationManager.
- To request when in use location permission, use the following code:
```
CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
```
- To request always location permission, use the following code:
```
CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
[locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
```
- The preprocessor macro ABK_DISABLE_LOCATION_SERVICES is no longer needed.
- Important: Configuring geofences to request always location permissions remotely from the Braze dashboard is no longer supported. If you are using Geofences, you will need to ensure that your app requests always location permission from your users manually.
ABKAutomaticRequestProcessingExceptForDataFlush is deprecated. Users using ABKAutomaticRequestProcessingExceptForDataFlush should switch to ABKManualRequestProcessing, as the new behavior of ABKManualRequestProcessing is identical to the previous behavior of ABKAutomaticRequestProcessingExceptForDataFlush

Changed

Deprecates the push utility methods: isUninstallTrackingUserNotification:, isUninstallTrackingRemoteNotification:, isGeofencesSyncUserNotification:, isGeofencesSyncRemoteNotification:, and isPushStoryRemoteNotification: from ABKPushUtils. Please use the function isAppboyInternalRemoteNotification:.
Minor changes to the logic of ABKManualRequestProcessing. The original ABKManualRequestProcessing had specific exceptions and behaved more like ABKAutomaticRequestProcessingExceptForDataFlush in practice. As a result, the two policies have been merged into ABKManualRequestProcessing. Note that the new definition of ABKManualRequestProcessing is that periodic automatic data flushes are disabled. Other requests important to basic Braze functionality will still occur.

3.15.0

Important: If you are using ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate, you will need to replace dev.appboy.com with sdk.iad-01.braze.com in the getApiEndpoint method.

Breaking

Adds support for SDWebImage version 5.0.
- Note that upgrading to SDWebImage 5.0 also removed the FLAnimatedImage transitive dependency from the SDK.

3.14.1

Important: If you are using ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate, you will need to replace dev.appboy.com with sdk.iad-01.braze.com in the getApiEndpoint method.

Changed

Changed in-app message trigger behavior to not perform trigger events until after any pending trigger sync requests to the server have finished.

Fixed

Fixed a serialization issue that could cause improper type conversions for certain decimal values.
Fixed a behavior introduced in 3.12.0 which caused in-app messages to not be considered triggered locally if ABKDiscardInAppMessage was returned by the host app in beforeInAppMessageDisplayed:.

Added

Added the ability to set the session timeout via the Info.plist.
- Add the Appboy dictionary to your Info.plist file. Inside the Appboy Dictionary, add the SessionTimeout Number subentry and set the value to your session timeout.
Added the ability to disable location tracking via the Info.plist.
- Add the Appboy dictionary to your Info.plist file. Inside the Appboy Dictionary, add the DisableAutomaticLocation Boolean subentry and set the value to YES.

Added validation to the local filename's canonical path during zip file extraction.

3.14.0

Important: If you are using ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate and plan to upgrade to 3.14.1, you will need to replace dev.appboy.com with sdk.iad-01.braze.com in the getApiEndpoint method.

Added

Improves the look and feel of In-App Messages to adhere to the latest UX and UI best practices. Changes affect font sizes, padding, and responsiveness across all message types. Now supports button border styling.

3.13.0

Breaking

Upgrades the delivery mechanism of Push Stories to allow delivery even after a user’s app has been force closed..
- Required: Please change your integration to use ab_cat_push_story_v2 instead of ab_cat_push_story for the UNNotificationExtensionCategory in your content extension. See documentation for more details.

Changed

Improves in-app message triggering logic to fall back to lower priority messages when the Braze server aborts templating (e.g. from a Connected Content abort in the message body, or because the user is no longer in the correct Segment for the message).
Updates German translations to improve formatting.

3.12.0

Breaking

Drops support for iOS 8.
Adds support for the arm64e architecture when building with Cocoapods. Requires Xcode 10.1.

Changed

Changes the behavior of News Feed so that only one impression is logged for each card per News Feed open.

Added

Adds HTML IAM appboyBridge ready event to know precisely when the appboyBridge has finished loading.

Example below:

 <script type="text/javascript">
   function logMyCustomEvent() {
     appboyBridge.logCustomEvent('My Custom Event');
   }
   window.addEventListener('ab.BridgeReady', logMyCustomEvent, false);
 </script>

Removed

Removes Cross-Promotion cards from the News Feed.
- Cross-Promotion cards have also been removed as a card model and will thus no longer be returned.

3.11.0

Added

Adds the ability to set or remove custom location attributes for a specific user from within HTML IAMs.
Updates the SDK to report users who disable banner notifications but are still opted-in to push notifications as push enabled. Note this change does not affect provisionally authorized users on iOS 12, who were considered push enabled before this release regardless of their banner notification settings.
Adds Carthage Core support which allows for integration with the core Braze SDK without any UI components. To implement the core SDK, add binary "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Appboy/appboy-ios-sdk/master/appboy_ios_sdk_core.json" to your Cartfile.

Changed

Deprecates the Feedback feature.

Fixed

Fixes an issue with the JS bridge when trying to set a custom attribute with the character '&'.

3.10.0

Added

Adds the ability to specify a whitelist for device fields that are collected by the Braze SDK.
- Configurable device fields are defined in the ABKDeviceOptions enum.
- To specify whitelisted device fields, assign the bitwise OR of desired fields to ABKDeviceWhitelistKey in the appboyOptions of startWithApiKey:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:.
  - For example, to specify timezone and locale collection to be whitelisted, set appboyOptions[ABKDeviceWhitelistKey] = @(ABKDeviceOptionTimezone | ABKDeviceOptionLocale);.
- To turn off all fields, set appboyOptions[ABKDeviceWhitelistKey] = @(ABKDeviceOptionNone);.
- By default, all fields are enabled.
Added the clicked property to ABKContentCard. Clicks made through [ABKContentCard logContentCardClicked] are now saved locally on the device.

Breaking

Removes ABKSignificantChangeCollectionEnabledOptionKey, ABKSignificantChangeCollectionDistanceFilterOptionKey, and ABKSignificantChangeCollectionTimeFilterOptionKey from the Appboy interface.

Removed

Removes the ability to optionally track locations in the background.

This feature is currently in closed beta testing; if you're interested in joining the beta, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager or Account Manager.

Changed

Status bar is not obscured when displaying a full screen in-app message.

3.7.1

Changed

Improves data handling immediately following a user change to bring behavioral parity with the Android and Web SDKs.

3.7.0

Breaking

In ABKInAppMessageUIControlling protocol, getCurrentDisplayChoiceForControlInAppMessage method is added to define whether the control in-app message impression should be logged now, later or discarded.
In ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate protocol, beforeControlMessageImpressionLogged method is added to define whether the control in-app message impression should be logged now, later or discarded.

Added

CLLocationManager authorization requests can now be prevented from compiling by setting a Preprocessor flag ABK_DISABLE_LOCATION_SERVICES.

Fixed

Fixes an issue where in-app messages triggered on session start could potentially be templated with the old user's attributes.

3.6.0

Breaking

In ABKSDWebImageProxy.h, renames removeImageForKey to removeSDWebImageForKey and clearCache to clearSDWebImageCache to avoid conflicts with internal Apple API. Important: We have received reports of sporadic App Store rejection stemming from Apple's static checks mistaking our APIs for an invalid usage of the internal Apple API. We recommend new App Store submissions integrating the Braze iOS SDK ship with this version or above to decrease the likelihood of rejection.

Added

Exposes handleCardClick on ABKNewsFeedTableViewController.h to enable custom handling via subclassing.
Improves News Feed image handling on iPad.

3.5.1

Fixed

Fixes an issue with integrating the NewsFeed subspec in Swift projects via Cocoapods.

3.5.0

Breaking

Open sources the News Feed UI code and moves it into a new subspec named "NewsFeed".
- Manual integrators must now add the AppboyUI folder of this repository to their projects as a group, in addition to AppboyKit.
- The "NewsFeed" subspec contains the Braze News Feed UI and the Core SDK. It does not include the Feedback or In-App Message UI.
- The "UI" subspec contains all Braze UI and the Core SDK subpsec.
- ABKFeedViewControllerDelegate was removed.
- To integrate a navigation context News Feed, use the following code:
```

[self.navigationController pushViewController:newsFeed animated:YES];
```
- To integrate a modal context News Feed, use the following code:
```
ABKNewsFeedViewController *newsFeed = [[ABKNewsFeedViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController presentViewController:newsFeed animated:YES completion:nil];
```
- See our News Feed Sample app for sample implementations and customizations.
Removes NUI support for Feedback, In-App Messages, and the News Feed.
- All customization can now be done by using categories or by extending our open sourced view controllers.
Removes deprecated ABKPushURIDelegate from the SDK. Use ABKURLDelegate instead.

Removes supportedOrientations from ABKInAppMessageUIController and ABKInAppMessageWindowController.
Renames supportedOrientationMasks to supportedOrientationMask in ABKInAppMessageUIController and ABKInAppMessageWindowController.

Fixed

Fixes an issue that caused GIFs to not animate on SDWebImage versions above or equal to 4.3.0

3.3.4

Added

Adds the ability to view verbose logs from the SDK for debugging.
- To enable verbose logging, add a dictionary named Appboy to your Info.plist file. Inside the Appboy Dictionary, add the LogLevel String subentry and set the value to "0".

3.3.3

Added

Adds wipeDataAndDisableForAppRun: on the Appboy interface to support wiping all customer data created by the Braze SDK.
Adds disableSDK: and requestEnableSDKOnNextAppRun: to the Appboy interface to disable and re-enable the Braze SDK.

Fixed

Fixes an issue where events setting custom attribute arrays to nil would persist on the SDK beyond their useful life.

3.3.2

Changed

Updates the SDK with internal, non-functional improvements.

3.3.1

Added

Adds Other, Unknown, Not Applicable, and Prefer not to Say options for user gender.

Fixed

Fixes an issue where the method beforeInAppMessageDisplayed: in class ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate is not called when the host app is using the Core subspec.

3.3.0

Breaking

Open sources the In-App Message UI code and moves it into a new subspec named "InAppMessage".
- Manual integrators must now add the AppboyUI folder of this repository to their projects as a group, in addition to AppboyKit.
- The "InAppMessage" subspec contains the Braze In-App Message UI and the Core SDK. It does not include Feedback or the News Feed UI.
- The "UI" subspec contains all Braze UI and the Core SDK subpsec.

3.0.1

Fixed

Fixes an issue where calling incrementCustomUserAttribute: on ABKUser could cause a crash.

3.0.0

Breaking

Removes the deprecated foursquareAccessToken property from ABKUser. To associate a Foursquare access token with a user profile, use setCustomAttributeWithKey:andStringValue: instead.
Note: Braze iOS SDK version 3.0.0 will only support downgrading to iOS SDK version 2.31.0. Downgrading to versions prior to 2.31.0 may result in app crashes.

Added

Adds a major performance upgrade that reduces CPU usage, memory footprint, and network traffic.

2.31.0

Breaking

Open sources the Feedback view controllers and moves them into a new subspec "Feedback".
- The "Feedback" subspec has the Braze Feedback UI and the Core SDK. It will not include in-app messages or News Feed UI.
- Removes the popover context for Feedback due to the deprecation of UIPopoverViewController in iOS.
- Renames the ABKFeedbackViewControllerModalContext and ABKFeedbackViewControllerNavigationContext class to ABKModalFeedbackViewController and ABKNavigationFeedbackViewController.
- The open-sourced Feedback view controllers offer backward compatible NUI support, although we recommend using categories or subclassing the Feedback view controllers for customization as NUI library isn't actively maintained any more. See here for customization details.
- See our Feedback Sample app for sample implementations and customizations.

Added

Adds user aliasing capability. Aliases can be used in the API and dashboard to identify users in addition to their ID. See the addAlias:withLabel: method on ABKUser for more information.

Changed

Updates the AppboyKit.h to include all the public header files in the SDK.

2.30.0

Breaking

Open sources the ABKModalWebViewController class, which is used to display the web URLs from push or in-app message clicks.
- Drops NUI customization support for the navigation bar and navigation bar button item on ABKModalWebViewController. To customize the UI, create an ABKModalWebViewController category and override the corresponding method(s) exposed.
Open sources the ABKNoConnectionLocalization class, which provides Braze's default localized string for "No Connection" error.
- You can customize the localization by adding Appboy.no-connection.message as the key in your Localizable.strings files.
Removes the Appboy.bundle from the Core subspec of the SDK.
- If you use the Core subspec, the in-app messages will not display, and trying to display Braze's News Feed and Feedback UI will lead to unpredictable behavior.

2.29.1

Added

Adds a new property buttonTextFont to ABKInAppMessageButton. It allows clients to set customized fonts on in-app message buttons before the in-app message is displayed.

Fixed

Makes class ABKInAppMessageWindowController.h public.
- Addresses #105.
Fixes an issue where device information was not flushed for a new user when server requests were queued for two or more users.

Changed

Removes the warnings in ABKSDWebImageProxy.

2.29.0

Breaking

Drops support for iOS 7.
Removes the shouldOpenURIExternally field from ABKInAppMessage.
Requires XCode 8.3.
Changes the behavior of the onCardClicked:feedViewController: method in ABKFeedViewControllerDelegate to let Braze handle the card click action if the delegate method returns NO.
- Previously, Braze would handle the card click action if onCardClicked:feedViewController: returned YES.
- This change standardizes delegate behavior with ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate and ABKURLDelegate.

Added

Adds the property openUrlInWebView to ABKInAppMessage, ABKInAppMessageButton and ABKCard. This property determines if the URL associated with the object will be opened in a UIWebView.
Adds a Javascript interface to HTML in-app messages with ability to log custom events, log purchases, set user attributes, navigate users, and close the message.
Adds an abDeepLink query field to HTML in-app messages, which defaults to false. To prevent the SDK from opening deep links in a UIWebView, specify abDeepLink=true in your link (e.g., https://www.braze.com?abDeepLink=true).
Adds the ABKURLDelegate protocol for customizing URL handling across channels. Set the ABKURLDelegate by passing a delegate object to the ABKURLDelegateKey in the appboyOptions of startWithApiKey:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:. See our Stopwatch sample application for a Universal Link implementation sample.
Adds the following utility methods to ABKPushUtils for detecting if a push notification was sent by Braze for internal feature purposes:
- + (BOOL)isAppboyInternalUserNotification:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
- + (BOOL)isAppboyInternalRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo;
- + (BOOL)isUninstallTrackingUserNotification:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
- + (BOOL)isGeofencesSyncUserNotification:(UNNotificationResponse *)response;
- + (BOOL)isGeofencesSyncRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo;
- These methods can be used to ensure that your app does not take any undesired or unnecessary actions upon receiving Braze's internal content-available notifications (e.g., pinging your server for content).

Changed

Deprecates ABKPushURIDelegate. If you were previously using ABKPushURIDelegate, use ABKURLDelegate instead.
Deprecates userNotificationWasSentFromAppboy: and pushNotificationWasSentFromAppboy: on Appboy. Use isAppboyUserNotification: and isAppboyRemoteNotification: on ABKPushUtils instead.
Deprecates shouldFetchTestTriggersFlagContainedInPayload: on ABKPushUtils.

2.28.0

Breaking:

Removes support for watchOS 1, including Braze WatchKit SDK and all public APIs for watchOS in Braze iOS SDK.

Added

Adds ABKSDWebImageProxy to access the SDWebImage framework. This will prevent the Core subspec of the SDK from calling any SDWebImage methods directly.

2.27.0

Breaking

Removes the following deprecated items: the bio field of ABKUser, the setIsSubscribedToEmails: method of ABKUser, and the getResourceEndpoint: method of the ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate protocol.

Added

Adds support for registering geofences and messaging on geofence events. Please reach out to success@braze.com for more information about this feature.
Adds Braze default push categories which can be fetched from ABKPushUtils.
- To use the Braze default push categories, you need to manually add the Braze categories when you register for push. You can get the Braze categories from [ABKPushUtils getAppboyUNNotificationCategorySet] or [ABKPushUtils getAppboyUIUserNotificationCategorySet].
- In this version, we add four sets of push action buttons: accept/decline, yes/no, confirm/cancel, more. These will be available as button sets on the dashboard when creating an iOS push campaign.
- All Braze push action buttons support localization.
Adds support for web link and deep link handling of push action buttons.

Fixed

Fixes the issue where the combination of the Core subspec of the SDK and a non-supported version of SDWebImage framework can cause apps to crash.
- Addresses #104.

Changed

HTML in-app messages now log body click analytics on all links that are not appboy://customEvent and do not include the abButtonId query field. Previously, no body click analytics were logged.

Removed

Removes deprecated method - (NSString *)getResourceEndpoint:(NSString *)appboyResourceEndpoint from ABKAppboyEndpointDelegate.
Removes deprecated property bio and deprecated method - (BOOL)setIsSubscribedToEmails:(BOOL)subscribed from ABKUser.

2.26.0

Breaking

Adds support for SDWebImage version 4.0.0 with GIF support. SDWebImage version 3.x will not be supported from this version on. Please make sure you are using the correct version of SDWebImage.framework. Note: SDWebImage 4.0.0 relies on FLAnimatedImage - users integrating in ways besides CocoaPods should ensure they link the FLAnimatedImage framework if they want GIF support.
Removes the url property from subclasses of ABKCard. This property has been renamed to urlString and moved onto the ABKCard superclass.

Added

Adds Cocoapods subspecs "Core" and "UI".
- The "UI" subspsec has the full feature set of the current SDK. This is the default subspec when no subspec is specified in the Podfile.
- The "Core" subspec removes the SDWebImage framework dependency. This is for apps who do not use any Braze UI that leverages images (News Feed, in-app messages). If you use the "Core" subspec, in-app messages with images will not display, and the News Feed will render with plain white images.
Makes ABKThemableFeedNavigationBar.h and ABKNavigationBar.h public.
- Addresses #68
Adds an unsafeInstance method that returns a nonoptional Appboy instance. If used before calling startWithApiKey: an exception will be thrown.
- Addresses #45.
Adds ABKIDFADelegate protocol that can be used to create a delegate to pass Braze the IDFA in startWithApiKey: in the appboyOptions dictionary under the ABKIDFADelegateKey key. Alternative to existing ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider compile flag solution.

Changed

Disables the -webkit-touch-callout property on HTML in-app messages. Long presses and 3D Touch on links will no longer display pop-ups with additional link information.

2.25.0

Added

Adds the ability to set the ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate when the SDK starts by passing a delegate object to the ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegateKey in the appboyOptions of startWithApiKey:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:.
- This is the recommended way to set the ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate and circumvents a potential race condition where in-app messages can be shown before the delegate has been set.
Exposes the ABKFeedback object and adds a new method - (void)submitFeedback:(ABKFeedback *)feedback withCompletionHandler:(nullable void (^)(ABKFeedbackSentResult feedbackSentResult))completionHandler; in Appboy. The new method accepts a completion handler which receives an ABKFeedbackSentResult enum as feedback sending result.
- The possible feedback sending results are: invalid feedback object(ABKInvalidFeedback), fail to send feedback(ABKNetworkIssue), and feedback sent successfully(ABKFeedbackSentSuccessfully).
Adds the utility method - (BOOL)userNotificationWasSentFromAppboy:(UNNotificationResponse *)response; to Appboy. This method is compatible with the UserNotifications framework and returns whether a push notification was sent from Braze's server.
- Those using - (BOOL)pushNotificationWasSentFromAppboy:(NSDictionary *)options; who have integrated the UserNotifications framework should use this method instead.

Fixed

Changes the ABKInAppMessageButton from a UIButton object to a pure data model class in NSObject.
- This resolves the issue #97.

Changed

Adds more protection around triggered in-app message display.

2.24.5

Fixed

Fixes an issue where in-app messages triggered off of push clicks wouldn't fire when the push click happened before the in-app message configuration was synced to the device.

Changed

Updates push registration to flush the token to the server immediately.
Improves the accessibility of in-app messages and news feed cards.
- When in voiceOver mode, the SDK auto-focuses on in-app messages when they appear and resets focus on dismissal.
- VoiceOver no longer reads Braze internal labels.
- News feed cards are enhanced to be more accessible.

2.24.4

Added

Adds protection around in-app message UI code to avoid displaying in-app messages with corrupted images.

Fixed

Fixes the iOS version number in the deprecation warnings in Appboy.h.

2.24.3

Breaking

Update REQUIRED for apps using Braze SDK 2.24.0, 2.24.1 or 2.24.2 with UserNotifications.framework

Fixed

Fixes an issue where a user's foreground push enabled status could erroneously be marked as disabled.
- This issue can occur when opening the app from suspended mode. At that time, the foreground push enabled status was defaulted to disabled until the UserNotifications.framework returned the user's push authorization status. If the user closed the app within a few seconds, the SDK would not flush the updated push status and the user would mistakenly be marked as "push disabled".
- This issue only affected apps using UserNotifications.framework to register for push notifications.
- The updated code stores the push authorization status on disk to fix the issue.
Fixes an issue where triggered in-app messages with event property templating did not respect re-eligibility settings.

Changed

Updates the Podspecs for iOS and tvOS SDK.
Updates deprecation warnings to specify iOS version.
Updates the ABKFeedController with more generic nullability.
Disables all data detectors on HTML in-app messages. Phone numbers, web URLs, addresses and calendar events will no longer be automatically converted.
Disables scrolling bounces on HTML in-app messages.

2.24.2

Fixed

Fixes an issue where HTML in-app messages loaded JavaScript more than once.
Fixes the Appboy.inAppMessage.webview.done-button.title string in the French localization file, which was named incorrectly and wasn't being found.

2.24.1

Added

Adds nullability annotation for the completionHandler in userNotificationCenter :didReceiveNotificationResponse:withCompletionHandler.

2.24.0

Breaking

Updates the SDK to require XCode 8.
iOS 10 changes behavior of application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler and subsequently breaks open tracking and deep link handling on most existing Braze iOS integrations. If you don't currently implement application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: you need to modify your integration, and we recommend that all users update.

Added

Updates the iOS and tvOS SDKs to support iOS 10.
Adds a new method - (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center didReceiveNotificationResponse:(UNNotificationResponse *)response withCompletionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler. This method supports the new delegate method for push notification handling in UserNotification framework.

Changed

Deprecates two push delegate methods: - (void)registerApplication:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)notification and - (void)getActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(nullable void (^)())completionHandler.

Changed

Updates the podspec SDWebImage dependency to fetch the latest version.
Replaces SDK usage of NSURLConnection with NSURLSession.
Updates the SDK to always call canOpenURL: before opening a deep link. After this change, the SDK will only direct deep links whose schemes are whitelisted.
Updates push registration to immediately, asynchronously send up the push token.

2.20.1

Fixed

Fixes an issue where in certain conditions NSUserDefault blocking would cause custom events logged in the main thread to result in UI freezing.

Changed

Implements an optimization in push handling to not prefetch the News Feed when a push arrives and the app is in the background.

2.20.0

Added

Adds Carthage support.

Fixed

Fixes a multithreading issue where logging custom events from different threads would sporadically cause errors.
Fixes the issue where a close button's color on modal and full in-app messages didn't respect the opacity value.
Fixes an issue where failure to download HTML in-app message assets mid-download resulted in display without assets.

Changed

Updates the feedback element to reject messages that contain only whitespace.
Updates remote push handling to call the completion handler passed in every time (a code path previously existed that would return without calling it).

Removed

Removes the delegate method onInAppMessageHTMLButtonClicked:buttonID: from ABKInAppMessageControllerDelegate protocol.

2.19.3

Added

Adds a new feature allowing manual control of deep link handling in push notications. To use this, add a ABKPushURIDelegate value for the ABKPushURIDelegate key in the appboyOptions dictionary of startWithApiKey:inApplication:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:. Also updates the ABKPushURIDelegate integration to be initialized through that integration point.
Adds guarding against a possible crash caused by a user's offline state being corrupted and not including an active session when a network request occurred.

Fixed

Fixes an issue where duplicate data could be recorded when a force quit or crash occurs after a network request completed successfully, but before any other activity (such as leaving the app, putting it to sleep, updating an attribute or firing some other event or purchase) occurred.

2.19.2

Added

Adds warning when messaging doesn't succeed because SDWebImage is not integrated.

Fixed

Fixes a bug where users who went from being eligible for triggered messages to not being eligible for any triggered messages didn't see their local triggers configuration get updated.

Changed

Updates headers to be compatible with Swift 2.2.

2.19.1

Added

Adds sample code for a universal link in Stopwatch.

Fixed

Fixes the benign issue that caused the log message *** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data is NULL.
Fixes an issue where NULL campaign IDs in push messages (e.g. from a REST API push message without a specified campaign id) resulted in push-clicked triggers for triggered in-app messages not firing.
Fixes an issue where calling changeUser between identified users caused the read/unread state of the news feed cards of the old user to be set as the new user's read/unread states.
Fixes an issue where a user attribute value that had been set to multiple different values created a state that would not let you set the original value again. The bug was introduced in version 2.17.1.

Changed

Analytics are now logged for in-app messages and in-app message buttons with 'ABKInAppMessageNoneClickAction' click actions. ABKInAppMessageNoneClickAction is set when an in-app message on the dashboard has a click action that only closes the in-app message; formerly this did not count as a click.

2.19.0

Added

Adds support for action-based, locally triggered in-app messages. In-app messages are now sent to the device at session start with associated trigger events. The SDK will display in-app messages in near real-time when the trigger event associated with a message occurs. Trigger events can be app opens, push opens, purchases, and custom events.

Changed

Deprecates the old system of requesting in-app message display, now collectively known as 'original' in-app messaging, where messages were limited to displaying at app start.

Applies the Braze endpoint delegate methods to in-app messages' resource(zip and image) fetching.

Removed

Removes the Facebook button from Feedback page.

2.16.1

Added

Adds the ability to log a custom event from an HTML in-app message. To log a custom event from an HTML in-app message, navigate a user to a url of the form appboy://customEvent?name=customEventName&p1=v2, where the name URL parameter is the name of the event, and the remaining parameters are logged as String properties on the event.
Adds the support for customization of the background color of modal in-app messages.

Fixed

Fixes an issue where daylight savings changes were not reflected in the user profile timezone.

2.16

Added

Adds HTML In-App Message types.
- HTML In-App Messages consist of HTML and a url of a zipped archive of assets (e.g. images, css) to download locally which the HTML can reference. See InAppMessageUIViewController in our Stopwatch sample app for an example for the callbacks on the actions inside the WebView hosting the HTML In-App Message.

Changed

Deprecates the method - (void) logSocialShare:(ABKSocialNetwork)socialNetwork and enum ABKSocialNetwork in the Appboy class. If you use logSocialShare: to track user's social account sharing, you can use logCustomEvent: instead.
Deprecates the property bio in the ABKUser class.

2.15.1

Fixed

Fixes the warning "full bitcode bundle could not be generated because XXX was built only with bitcode marker".

2.15

Changed

Updates the SDK to support iOS 9. In iOS9, previous versions of the SDK: 1) did not have bitcode support, 2) had a minor UI issue in in-app messages where the slideup messages were not docked on the bottom of the screen if they had one line of text, 3) failed to localize for zh-HK and zh-TW.

Adds an opt-in location service that logs background location events; adds ABKLocationManager with methods for allowing Braze to request location permission on your behalf and logging the current location. More information on the background location capabilities will be made available when dashboard support is released.
Adds client side blocking of blacklisted attributes and events.
Adds ABKPushUtils with method + (BOOL) isUninstallTrackingNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo; that can be used to detect if a content-available push is from Braze uninstall tracking (and shouldn't be acted upon).
Adds a new property expiresAt in class ABKCard. The property is the unix timestamp of the card's expiration time. For more detail, please refer to ABKCard.h.

Changed

Stops collecting user's Twitter data automatically. You can pass a user's Twitter information to Braze by initialzing a ABKTwitterUser object with the twitter data, and setting it to [Appboy sharedInstance].user.twitterUser. For more information, please refer to ABKUser.h and ABKTwitterUser.h.
Stops logging foreground push as a push open as it is not delivered by the system.

Removed

Removes the feature of prompting a user to connect his/her social account. You can refer to the method promptUserToConnectTwitterAccountOnDeviceAndFetchAccountData in TwitterViewController.m to continue prompting the user to connect the Twitter account.

2.12.2

Fixed

2.12.1

Added

Adds font and font size customization to all in-app message's header and message text through NUI. You can customize in-app message's font by adding ABKInAppMessageSlideupMessageLabel, ABKInAppMessageeModalHeaderLabel,ABKInAppMessageModalMessageLabel, ABKInAppMessageFullHeaderLabel, ABKInAppMessageFullMessageLabel to your NUI nss style sheet.

Fixed

Fixes news feed issue where no news feed cards resulted in the loading spinner remaining on screen.

Changed

Cleans up the console logging in Class ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.

2.12.0

Fixed

Fixes the incorrect path runtime error for users who integrate our pod as a dynamic framework. For SDK versions before 2.12, when you integrate Braze with use_frameworks! in the Podfile, the library is integrated as a dynamic framework and the Appboy.bundle is stored in a different path.

Changed

Changes HelloSwift sample app to integrate Braze SDK as a dynamic framework.

Removed

Removes the subspecs from the podspec. This fixes the duplicate symbol error #24. If you are still using subspec like pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK/AppboyKit' in your podfile, please make sure to change it to pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK'.

2.11.3

Added

Adds the ability to send and retrieve extra key-value pairs via a News Feed card.
Adds the ability to define custom key-value properties on a custom event or purchase. Property keys are strings and values may be NSString, NSDate, or NSNumber objects.
Added the fix for an edge case when there are extra UIWindows at the time in-app message is going to display, the in-app message would have issue during dismissing.

2.10.1

Fixed

Fixes a bug which would cause the host app to crash when a deep link was launched from a push notification. In versions 2.10.0 and 2.9.4, if the host app used [[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification:]; instead of [[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification: fetchCompletionHandler:];, opening a push with a deep link would crash the host app in some circumstances.

2.10.0

Changed

Updates the minimum deployment targets of Braze iOS SDK to iOS 6.0. For apps supporting lower iOS versions, please continue to use 2.9.+ versions of the Braze SDK.
Stops collecting user's Facebook data automatically. You can pass a user's Facebook information to Braze by initializing a ABKFacebookUser object with the facebook data, and set it to [Appboy sharedInstance].user.facebookUser. For more information, please refer to ABKUser.h and ABKFacebookUser.h.

Removed

Removes Facebook SDK dependent builds. Now there is a single library - AppboyKit - and a single Pod without functional subspecs - Appboy-iOS-SDK (note we now have both the subspecs pointing at the same library). Please update your Podfile to pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK if you are integrating Braze with Cocoapods.
Removes the feature of prompting a user to connect his/her Facebook account. You can refer to the method promptUserToConnectFacebookAccountOnDeviceAndFetchAccountData in FacebookViewController.m to continue prompting the user to connect the Facebook account.

2.9.6

Added

2.9.5

Fixed

Fixes a bug which would cause the host app to crash when a deep link was launched from a push notification. In versions 2.9.4, if the host app used [[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification:]; instead of [[Appboy sharedInstance] registerApplication: didReceiveRemoteNotification: fetchCompletionHandler:];, opening a push with a deep link would crash the host app in some circumstances.

This method should be called in - (void) application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler. For more details, please refer to Appboy.h.
Adds a HelloSwift sample app to demo how to use Braze in a swift app.
Adds a new NSString property "displayPrice" in ABKCrossPromotionCard to enable server side price localization.

Fixed

Fixes a bug of when sessions were being created when the app opened in the background.
Fixes a bug where requesting the news feed with a news feed open led to card impressions not updating until the next feed refresh.

2.9.2

Added

Adds the ability to turn off Braze's automatic location collection by setting the ABKDisableAutomaticLocationCollectionKey boolean in AppboyOptions in startWithApiKey:inApplication:inApplication:withAppboyOptions:.
Adds the ability to send location tracking events to Braze manually using setLastKnownLocationWithLatitude:longitude:horizontalAccuracy: and setLastKnownLocationWithLatitude:longitude:horizontalAccuracy:altitude:verticalAccuracy: on the ABKUser. this is intended to be used with ABKDisableAutomaticLocationCollectionKey set to true in the AppboyOptions so that locations are only being recorded from a single source.

Fixed

Fixes a news feed bug: sometimes the spinner keeps spinning on the screen even after the news feed card image is displayed.

Changed

Updates sample app core location fetching code based on the changes in iOS 8.

2.9.1

Fixed

Fixes a news feed bug: When a user refreshed the news feed by swiping down, if the total number of cards in the feed was going to be reduced by the refresh, the app would crash.

2.9.0

Fixed

Fixes an App Store validation error introduced when the App Store started accepting submissions for iOS8. This was done by changing the packaging of the Braze framework to include a universal binary and a resource bundle (instead of combining them both together in a universal framework). Due to this change, Cocoapod integration is even more highly recommended than before to fully automate integration.

2.8.1

Added

Adds a new method - (void) getActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo to collect analytics data for push actions in iOS 8. It should be called in the UIApplication delegate method - (void) application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler. For more details, please refer to Appboy.h.

Changed

Restricts product identifier string to 255 characters for method - (void) logPurchase:(NSString *)productIdentifier inCurrency:(NSString *)currencyCode atPrice:(NSDecimalNumber *)price and - (void) logPurchase:(NSString *)productIdentifier inCurrency:(NSString *)currencyCode atPrice:(NSDecimalNumber *)price withQuantity:(NSUInteger)quantity.
News feed card now can update the card height and display a full image based on the image ratio. Card image ratio used to be a fix number and images were aspect stretched to fit in the views.
The right and left margins in the news feed are now touchable areas for scrolling.
Card titles have been improved and will now truncate with "..." when they are more than 2 lines.

2.8

Breaking

Renames the class names of news feed cards to match the names on dashboard:

v2.8	v2.7
ABKBannerCard	ABKCardBanner
ABKCaptionedImageCard	ABKCardCaptionedMessage
ABKCrossPromotionCard	ABKCardCrossPromotionSmall
ABKClassicCard	ABKCardNews
ABKTextAnnouncementCard	ABKCardTextAnnouncement

Added

Adds email and push notification subscription types for a user. Subscription types are explicitly opted in, subscribed, and unsubscribed. The previous email boolean subscribe method has been deprecated.
Adds custom slideup orientation support. You can now ask the slideup to only support certain orientations. For more details on slideup custom orientation support, please refer to ABKSlideupController.h.
Adds quantity parameter as an option when logging purchase. The quanlity should be an unsigned interger greater than 0 and no larger than 100. For more information, please refer to Appboy.h.
Adds a class method in ABKCard to deserialize a given dictionary to a card. This is for use by wrappers such as Braze's Unity SDK for iOS. Please refer to ABKCard.h for more information.

2.7

- The app can customize click actions from the feed and display any card link in their own user interface.

Slideup Changes

Updates ABKSlideupControllerDelegate method onSlideupClicked to return a BOOL value to indicate if Braze should continue to execute the click action.
Stops logging slideup click when the slideup click action is ABKSlideupNoneClickAction.

Feedback Changes

Updates the ABKFeedbackViewControllerPopoverContext so now it should be used in all cases where the feedback page displayed in a popover, including the case that the feedback is push on a navigation controller in a popover.
Fixes the ABKFeedbackVIewControllerModalContext cancel button delegate issue.

Updates data flush time interval.

2.6.1

Fixed

Fixes a minor display problem that affected news items with no image or link for version 2.6.

2.6

Breaking

Braze iOS SDK now supports 64 bit as well. The minimum deployment targets that Braze iOS SDK supports is iOS 5.1.1.
- The Braze iOS SDK will now allow function with 64-bit apps. This version of the SDK only supports iOS 5.1.1+. Legacy iOS apps should continue to use version 2.5 of the SDK.
- You can install legacy versions of our SDK via CocoaPods by following changing the podfile to include something like the following example pod 'Appboy-iOS-SDK/AppboyKit', '~> 2.5'.

2.5.1

Fixed

Fixes a minor display problem that affected news items with no image or link for version 2.5.

2.5

Localization

Localization is now supported in version 2.5 of the Braze SDK. We have provided .string files for English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. You can also optionally override our Braze's default LocalizedAppboyUIString.strings right within your app's Localizable.Strings file in much the same way you would do an override in CSS. To do so, copy the key and string pair into your Localizable.Strings file and edit the string as you so desire.

For your convenience our CocoaPod integrates the LocalizedAppboyUIString.strings files for the three aforementioned languages. If you do not wish to use one or more of these languages, you can feel free to delete these files from your project.

Slideup Upgrade

Braze version 2.5 provides a substantial upgrade to the slideup code and reorganization for better flexibility moving forward, but at the expense of a number of breaking changes. We've detailed the changes in this changelog and hope that you'll love the added power, increased flexibility, and improved UI that the new Braze slideup provides. If you have any trouble with these changes, feel free to reach out to success@braze.com for help, but most migrations to the new code structure should be relatively painless.

New Slideup Controller

The property slideupController has been added to the Braze object. Please see ABKSlideupController.h for details.
- The delegate property allows you to specify a delegate for the slideup.
  - This replaces slideupDelegate which has been removed.
- The displayNextSlideupWithDelegate: method displays the next available slideup with the specified delegate.
  - This replaces provideSlideupToDelegate: which has been removed from Braze.
- The slideupsRemainingOnStack method returns the number of slideups that are waiting locally to be displayed.
- The addSlideup: method allows you to display a slideup object with custom content. This is useful in testing or if you want to use the Braze slideup's UI/UX with another notification system that you are using.
  - Clicks and impressions of slideups added by this method will not be collected by Braze.
- hideCurrentSlideup: method will remove any slideup currently on screen, with or without animation.

New Slideup Properties and Methods in `ABKSlideup.h`

The following properties and methods all belong to the ABKSlideup object. Please see ABKSlideup.h for more information.

New Properties

The extras property carries additional data within key value pairs that have been defined on the dashboard, just like a push notification. Braze does nothing with the extras property, any additional behavior is at your discretion.
The slideupAnchor property defines whether the slideup originates from the top or the bottom of the screen.
The slideupDismissType property controls whether the slideup will dismiss automatically after a period of time has lapsed, or if it will wait for interaction with the user before disappearing.
- The slideup will be dismissed automatically after the number of seconds defined by the newly added duration property if the slideup's slideupDismissType is ABKSlideupDismissAutomatically.
The slideupClickActionType property defines the action behavior after the slideup is clicked: displaying a news feed, redirect to a uri, or nothing but dismissing the slideup. This property is read only. If you want to change the slideup's click behavior, you can call one of the following method: setSlideupClickActionToNewsFeed, setSlideupClickActionToUri: or setSlideupClickActionToNone.
The uri property defines the uri string that the slide up will open when the slideupClickActionType is ABKSlideupRedirectToURI. This is a read only property, you can call setSlideupClickActionToUri: to change it's value.

New Methods

logSlideupImpression and logSlideupClicked have been added to allow you to report user interactions with the slideup in the case that you've fully customized the slideup experience and Braze is not handling the interactions.
setSlideupClickActionToNewsFeed, setSlideupClickActionToUri: and setSlideupClickActionToNone have been added to allow you to change the slideup's click action behavior. setSlideupClickActionToUri: accepts a uri string as parameter and required the given uri string is valid.

Delegate Method Changes

All former Braze slideup delegate methods have been depreciated and removed. In their place Braze has added new slideup delegate methods within ABKSlideupControllerDelegate.h.

onSlideupReceived: is called when slideup objects are received from the Braze server.
beforeSlideupDisplayed:withKeyboardIsUp: is called before slideup objects are displayed, the return value determines whether the slideup will be displayed, queued or discarded.
slideupViewControllerWithSlideup: This delegate method allows you to specify custom view controllers in which your slideups will be displayed.
- The custom view controller should be a subclass of ABKSlideupViewController.
  - Alternatively, it can also be an instance of ABKSlideupViewController.
- The view of the returned view controller should be an instance of ABKSlideupView or its subclass.
- For integration examples of a custom slideup view controller, see the CustomSlideupViewController class in Braze's sample app Stopwatch.
onSlideupClicked: is called when a user clicks on a slideup. We recommend that you specify behavior on click via the dashboard, but you can additionally specify behavior on click by defining this delegate method.
onSlideupDismissed: is called whenever the slideup is dismissed regardless of whether the dismissal occurs automatically or via swipe. This method is not called if the user clicks on the slideup. If the user clicks or taps on the slideup, onSlideupClicked is called instead.

New Options on the Dashboard

Slideup behavior on click can now be set within the dashboard to open a modal news feed, open a URI within a modal, or do nothing.
The following properties can be set remotely from the Braze Dashboard:
- extras
- slideupAnchor
- slideupDismissType
- slideupClickActionType
- uri

News Feed Changes

News feed items are now cached in offline storage, allowing the news feed to render even when no internet connectivity is available. Braze will still automatically try to pull down a new news feed when a session opens, even if an offline feed is available.
Each card now has a maximum height of no more than 2009 points to avoid any performance issues as recommended by iOS developer guidelines.
The entirety of captioned image cards are now clickable. Formerly, only the link itself was clickable.
When the news feed is brought to the foreground, it will now automatically check for new content if the cached version of the feed was received more than 60 seconds ago. — The width of news feed cards as well as the minimum margin between any card and the left & right edges of the view controller can now be customized. These values can be set separately for both iPad and iPhone. This allows for a larger news feed to render on larger screen sizes. All card images will scale proportionally. Please see ABKFeedViewControllerContext.h and ABKFeedViewController.h for more information.

Other Changes

Various internal and news feed display optimizations.

2.4

IDFA Collection is now optional.
- By default, IDFA collection is now disabled by the Braze SDK.
  - There will be no loss of continuity on user profiles or loss of functionality whatsoever as a result of this change.
  - If you’re using advertising elsewhere in the app or through our in-app news feed, we recommend continuing to collect the IDFA through Braze. You should be able to do so safely without fear of rejection from the iOS App Store.
  - The future availability of IDFAs will enable functionality like integrating with other third-party systems, including your own servers, and enabling re-targeting of existing users outside of Braze. If you continue to record them we will store IDFAs free of charge so you can take advantage of these options immediately when they are released without additional development work.
- Necessary Project Changes
  - ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.m and ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.h must be added to your project regardless of whether or not you enable collection. This occurs automatically if you integrate/update via the CocoaPod.
- Enabling Braze IDFA Collection

2.3.1

The Braze SDK for iOS now has two versions, one for use with apps which incorporate the official Facebook SDK and one for those which do not. In November of 2013, the App Store Validation Process started generating warnings about the usage of isOpen and setActiveSession in the Braze SDK. These selectors were being sent to instances of classes in the Facebook SDK and are generally able to be used without generating warnings. However because of the way that the classes were initialized in Braze (a result of building a single Braze binary to fully support apps with and without the Facebook SDK), the App Store Validation Process started generating warnings the Facebook SDK methods share a name with private selectors elsewhere in iOS. Although none of our customers have been denied App Store approval yet, to protect against potential validation policy changes by Apple, Braze now provides two versions of its SDK, neither of which generate warnings. Going forward, the appboy-ios-sdk repository will provide both versions of the SDK in the folders 'AppboySDK' (as before) and 'AppboySDKWithoutFacebookSupport'. The 'AppboySDKWithoutFacebookSupport' does not require the host app to include the Facebook SDK, but as a result does not include all of the Braze features for Facebook data fetching. More information is available here within the Braze documentation.
Fixed a bug that repeatedly updated the push token of some users unnecessarily.
The "Reporting an Issue?" box within the UI layout of the Feedback Page has been moved to the left side of the label away from the "Send" button. This change was made to reduce the number of misclicks of the "Send" button. The "Reporting an Issue?" label is now clickable as well.
Cross Promotion Cards for apps with long titles will now render appropriately in iOS5. Before the title would render abnormally large on these devices.
Fixed a bug where view recycling would cause incorrect card images to appear for newly rendered cards (until the image for that card finished downloading). Card images for newly rendered cards will now remain empty until the correct image is downloaded.
Internal changes to enable future support for a 64 bit library release.
Improvements to the Braze Sample App.
Internal code structure and performance improvements including the move of more offline caching to background tasks.

2.3

BREAKING CHANGE: The ABKSlideupControllerDelegate interface has been changed to work with ABKSlideup objects instead of simply the slideup message. This provides you with more control over the click actions and display of slideups and is also being made in anticipation of the augmentation of the ABKSlideup object with more data properties in future releases. To access the message previously sent to shouldDisplaySlideup, simply access the message property on the provided ABKSlideup argument.
displayNextAvailableSlideup has been deprecated and will be removed in the next minor release, it has been replaced by provideSlideupToDelegate, see Appboy.h documentation for more information.
provideSlideupToDelegate has been added to Braze to allow for more fine grained control over slideup display.
Fixes a bug where the slideupDelegate property getter on Braze would always return nil.
Changes the slideupDelegate property on Braze to be retained, instead of assigned.

2.2.1

Adds a startup option to appboyOptions to control the automatic capture of social network data. See the documentation on ABKSocialAccountAcquisitionPolicy in Appboy.h for more information.
Changes a table cell's default background color to clear, from the white value that became default in iOS7.
Adds support for developer to send up image_url for user avatars, allowing for custom images to be included in user profiles on the dashboard.

2.2

Adds support for new banner and captioned image card types.
Adds support for submitting feedback programmatically through an Appboy.h method without using Braze feedback form. This allows you to create your own feedback form.
Fixes an issue where the the news feed's web view would display "Connection Error" when a user came back into the app after a card had directed him or her to a protocol URL. Now when users come back from a redirected protocol URL, the feed is properly displayed.
Fixes an issue where the SDK might have incorrectly sent both read and write Facebook permissions at the same time, instead preferring to request only those read permissions that Braze is interested in and have already been requested by the incorporating app.
Fixes a corner case where card impressions could be miscounted when the feed view controller is the master view controller of a split view.
Makes cards truncate properly at two lines.

2.1.1

URGENT BUGFIX: This fixes an issue which exists in all previous versions of the v2 SDK which is causing crashes on the just release iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s. All users of v2 are recommended to upgrade the Braze SDK to 2.1.1 immediately and re-submit to the app store.

2.1.0

Adds support for iOS 7. You will need to use Xcode 5 to use this and future versions of the Braze iOS SDK.
Updates internal usage of NUI. If you're using NUI, please ensure that you are at least using version 0.3.3 (the most up to date as of this writing is 0.3.4).
Removes support for iOS 4.3.
Optimizes news feed rendering for faster start up times and smoother scrolling of long feeds.
Removes the deprecated - (void) logPurchase:(NSString *)productId priceInCents:(NSUInteger)price method in favor of the new multi-currency tracking method. Conversion of old method calls is straightforward. [[Appboy sharedInstance] logPurchase:@"powerups" priceInCents:99]; should turn into [[Appboy sharedInstance] logPurchase:@"powerups" inCurrency:@"USD" atPrice:[[[NSDecimalNumber alloc] initWithFloat:.99f] autorelease]];
Any references to the delegate property of ABKFeedbackViewControllerModalContext should be updated to the new property name feedbackDelegate.
Following the removal of support for 4.3, removes SBJson parsing and uses built-in parsing added in iOS5 to improve performance and lower the SDK footprint.

2.0.4

Adds support for reporting purchases in multiple currencies. Also, changes the price reporting object type to NSDecimalNumber for consistency with StoreKit.
Adds additional space savings optimizations to image assets.
Minor fix to orientation change handling in the example app code.

2.0.3

Adds the ability to assign a Foursquare access token for each user. Doing so will cause the Braze backend to make Foursquare data available in user profiles on the dasbhard.
Adds more fine grained control options for Braze's network activity. See Appboy.h for more information.

2.0.2

Fixes a bug where Braze might reopen a Facebook read session when a publish session already exists
