Hey @aliraza-noon, thanks for raising this issue and a corresponding pull request. Since you have forked the repository from your end, is it possible to use the forked version in your app as a workaround?

Our Objective-C Appboy iOS SDK is deprecated, and we recommend upgrading to our Swift SDK, which allows you to use Braze independently of an implicit dependency on SDWebImage. We also have a migration guide to ease this process.

@jerielng thanks for replying, unfortunately using my forks is not possible for us

I did not see notice for deprecation anywhere, please help us with this as we have a dependency on this in one of our apps.

Hi @aliraza-noon, are you using CocoaPods or SPM to integrate AppboyKit? In either case, the version dependencies for SDWebImage shouldn't limit you from upgrading to the latest version in your app.

For instance, in CocoaPods, we are using the syntax >= 5.8.2 in our podspec, you should be able to use any version greater than or equal to that by running pod update SDWebImage to get the latest version (5.16.0) in your project.

Likewise, for SPM integrations, you can right-click on SDWebImage under your Package Dependencies and then Update Package.

Closing out this issue based on the solution described above. Since the syntax for the podspec and the Package.swift describe the version floor, you are able to still update to the latest version of SDWebImage with today's Appboy iOS SDK code.

Thanks!
