1.3.1

Bug fixes

• Compilation issues of DatadogObjC when used with Swift Package Manager (🍻 to @TsvetelinVladimirov)
• Compilation issues for Xcode 11.3.1 (🏅 to @provTheodoreNewell)

1.3.0

This release brings Distributed Tracing for iOS 🚀.

Features

• By using a new Tracer API, it is now possible to send traces to Datadog.

// register the Tracer:
Global.sharedTracer = Tracer.initialize(configuration: configuration)

// start the Span:
let span = Global.sharedTracer.startSpan(operationName: "something I measure")

// finish it when the measured operation is done:
span.finish()

• If you use Datadog instrumentation on the backend, the trace can be propagated across the hosts.

1.3.0-beta3

Features

• Auto-Instrumentation for Tracing 🤖
• Tracing for Objective-C 🧓

---

How to use auto-instrumentation:
Step 1: Set Datadog.Configuration.tracedHosts to your domains
Step 2: Set tracingEnabled
Step 3: Set Global.sharedTracer to a Datadog.Tracer instance
🚀 Your network requests are automatically traced now!

IMPORTANT!
Auto-tracing is disabled by default
If auto-tracing is NOT enabled swizzling does not happen
Enabling auto-tracing by following the steps above results in swizzling URLSession.dataTaskWithURL:completion: and URLSession.dataTaskWithRequest:completion: methods.
You can look at how we swizzle methods here and/or what the new implementations of those methods are here and here.

1.3.0-beta2

This beta brings more to Distributed Tracing for iOS apps 🚀.

Features

• The span.setBaggageItem(key:value:) is now available (#144). This enables attributes propagation from parent span to its children.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a set of NSFileHandle crashes on iOS 13.0 - 13.3 in -beta1 (#152) caused by Apple bug.

---

Upgrade From 1.3.0-beta1

• Starting from -beta2, we embed the Open Tracing interfaces in Datadog module (#154). DDTracer is renamed to Tracer:

import Datadog

Global.sharedTracer = Tracer.initialize(...)

• This (#154) also means less hassle in Podfile as now it only requires pod DatadogSDK.
