v7.0.1

March 31th, 2021

• Fixed an issue introduced in v7.0.0 where a Push Message was not marked as dismissed when the notification was swiped away by the user. As a consequence, a dismissed notification may appear again in the Android Notification Drawer after the device is rebooted. This could only occur when Push archiving is enabled.
• Fixed the JSON Message objects returned by the SDK Javascript Interface which was still having the old field names from v6.x : now all JSON Message fields names follow the new v7.0 interface.
• Fixed an issue where InApp Template actions (button clicks) statistics were sent in the case of a re-displaying (i.e. displayed from a call to Message.displayInApp()).

v7.0.0

March 18th, 2021

Breaking Changes

The SDK interface has been completely rethought to be easier to use and more meaningful:

• The Message class fields have been renamed.
• All configuration parameters have to be defined in your implementation of the Configuration class. They are not retrieved from the AndroidManifest anymore.
• All campaign callbacks have been moved to the Configuration class, as the DefaultMessageHandler class is removed.
• Campaign action callbacks signature have been modified, and are using the new ActionInfo class as argument.
• The custom handling of Custom Web Page campaigns has been removed, we recommend to use silent pushes instead.
• Other changes in the SDK public interface, make to check our updating guide.

You will find more info in our Updating to v7.0 guide.

New Features

• Remote messaging and location features are now compatible with Huawei Mobile Services. This allows you to use all our campaign features on a pure HMS device. To implement Push campaign reception on those devices, follow the Add HMS Core SDK guide.
• Contextual campaigns triggers can be combined together with a new THEN operator, additionally to the existing OR and AND operators.
• If InApp archiving is enabled, an InApp message can be re-displayed in the exact same way as it was displayed by the SDK, thanks to the Message.displayInApp() method. See the Archiving messages section for more details.
• There is a new SDK callback onInAppNativeAction which is called whenever a Native Alert or Evaluation Booster InApp campaign dialog is closed. It provides to your app all information regarding the action which closed the InApp. See the Behavior on native InApp action section for more details.

Note that some of those new features depends on their FollowAnalytics platform counterparts. Please contact your CSM manager to know their availability on the platform side.
