  • React Native coverage is now officially supported by auto-linking. Android SDK will be available as an .AAR file (as part of the RN plugin). As part of this initiative as well as Android X migration, the React Native minimum version has now been upgraded to 0.60.

Android

  • ​ The SDK has now officially fully migrated to AndroidX.

    • Apps that are not already upgraded to Android X will not be able to compile SDK v3.8.1 and above.

    • Older SDK versions that are already live will not be affected.

    • SDK minimal operating system version coverage and all other feature capabilities remain intact.

    • The minimal Cordova-Android-platform version to be upgraded to will be 9.0.0.

    • The minimal React Native version to be upgraded to will be 0.60.

Resolved issues

  • An issue where sometimes mandatory questions in survey forms would not be read out as "required" when using voiceover for accessibility has been fixed.

  • The "Equals" option was removed from the "Time in Session" targeting rule in the Digital Command Center.

  • Phone numbers can be used as expected as links in Thank You Prompts on both Android and iOS.

  • Sporadic issues that occurred with the single-select capability when using 1-5 scale type questions have been resolved on both iOS and Android platforms.

  • An issue where the rating scale would sometimes not be available for 1-5 scale type questions when the accessibility feature was disabled has been resolved for both iOS and Android.

Android

  • Buttons visible in Android alert invitations are displayed as expected when using React Native plugin.

  • The issue of the SDK Banner overlapping the notification bar on some Android devices has been resolved.

  • In the download mechanism of the SDK, all cHtml survey forms that are unpublished will be deleted from the local device. This resolves display issues in mobile apps after the survey forms are republished in the Digital Command Center.

  • This release resolves an issue where alert intercepts were being displayed with incorrect design values. This issue was applicable to the following:

    • Android apps that utilize the SDK native alert intercept flavor.

    • Apps that use the new Android native alert style MDC (com.google.android.material) that has replaced the design support library.

  • As part of the MDC resolution, this build includes an additional style fix for the Thank You Prompt.

  • This release includes a Proguard integration fix for SDK host apps that use DashO obfuscation.

  • Any customization applied on "Close" buttons of the Android Thank You Prompt are always updated in the SDK host app.

  • Customers uploading Android apps that utilize the new form translations UpdateCustomLocale API are no longer notified with a security warning via Google Play.

iOS

  • A crash that occurred in negligible volumes because of the newly introduced Thank You Prompt mechanism has been resolved.

  • An iOS crash that occurred in negligible volumes originating from the SDK download mechanism has been resolved by applying various changes to the multi-threads files being used.
