Applications that use open URL action, landing pages, and custom in-app message image URLs will need to provide a list of URL patterns that match those URLs for SCOPE_OPEN_URL. The easist way to go back to 13.x behavior is to add urlAllowListScopeOpenURL = * to the AirshipConfig.

  • Whitelist class and terminology removed and replaced with UrlAllowList.
  • ActionAutomation and InAppMessageManager have been combined into InAppAutomation.
  • InAppAutomation APIs have been updated to support future IAA enhancements. See migration guide for details.

Changes

  • Added Named User attributes.
  • Fixed NPE when retrying a failed video URL in IAA after the view has been detached from the window.
  • Fixed logging an error message on registration failure due to using Huawei PushKit auto init feature on first run. The error was misleading as the registration will retry immediately after Push Kit is initialized.

Version 9.4.0 - July 19, 2018

Minor release that adds new NotificationFactory APIs to better handle limited background time when building notifications. This release also addresses ANRs from the GCM and ADM Broadcast Receiver that occur when notification building takes longer than 10 seconds when using a custom notification factory. To avoid the ANR, the braodcast will wait a max of 10 seconds before finishing received broadcast instead of waiting for the notification to finish. This will prevent the ANR from occurring, but the OS might kill the app before it has time to display the notification and it will be lost. To avoid this issue, either use NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int, boolean) to retry later if the notification is taking too long, or use NotificationFactory#requiresLongRunningTask(PushMessage) if the notification requires more than 10 seconds.

Changes

  • Deprecated NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int) in favor of NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int, boolean) that also tells the factory if it has longer than 10 seconds to build the notification.

  • Added method to generate AirshipConfigOptions from a Properties instance.
  • Fixed ANRs caused by slow notification builds in custom factories when using GCM or ADM modules.

Version 9.3.2 - June 28, 2018

Fixed an issue where if you define an end time on a automation schedule (action or in-app messages), it would mark it as expired during the next app init, even if the schedule was not still current. Any app using either action automation or in-app messages should update.

Changes

  • Fixed marking current schedules with an end time as expired.

  • When using urbanairship-fcm, setting the FCM sender ID in the airship config options is now optional.
  • Moved push providers into own packages - urbanairship-fcm, urbanairship-gcm, urbanairship-adm, and urbanairship-core. The package urbanairship-sdk still exists and is now just a wrapper package that depends on gcm, adm, and core to prevent breaking apps.

  • Added a fallback job scheduler using the Android Jobs API for Lollipop+ devices when the GcmNetworkManager is unavailable. By default, Urban Airship will schedule jobs with Ids between 3000000 - 3000099. The start ID can be changed from 3000000 by adding metadata to the AndroidManifest.xml with a new start ID under the key com.urbanairship.job.JOB_ID_START. The new scheduler can also be prioritized over the GcmNetworkManger scheduler by adding metadata com.urbanairship.job.PREFER_ANDROID_JOB_SCHEDULER with the value true.

  • Added a default notification channel. Currently the default channel's name and description is only available in english. Other localizations will be provided in an SDK update.

Behavior Changes

Custom notification factories that require more time can implement public boolean requiresLongRunningTask(PushMessage message) to have the SDK schedule a job to process the notification when the application has more than 10 seconds.
  • Listening for location updates no longer keeps the LocationService alive in the background and is only supported on the main process.
  • Push messages that are associated with a message center message will no longer wait for the inbox to be refreshed. Custom message center implementations should be updated to handle the message not being available when the user tries to deep link to the message.
  • Fetching images for a big picture notification style will timeout after 10 seconds. If the image times out, the notification will be posted without the big picture style.

Bug Fixes

Version 1.1.6 - August 29, 2012
