Please read the documentation for more details.

2.0.0

Version 2.0.0

Version 2 of the App Center SDK includes two new modules: Auth and Data.

AppCenterAuth

App Center Auth is a cloud-based identity management service that enables developers to authenticate application users and manage user identities. The service integrates with other parts of App Center, enabling developers to leverage the user identity to view user data in other services and even send push notifications to users instead of individual devices.

AppCenterData

The App Center Data service provides functionality enabling developers to persist app data in the cloud in both online and offline scenarios. This enables you to store and manage both user-specific data as well as data shared between users and across platforms.

AppCenterCrashes

• [Feature] After calling Auth.signIn, the next crashes are associated with an accountId corresponding to the signed in user. This is a different field than the userId set by AppCenter.setUserId. Calling Auth.signOut stops the accountId association for the next crashes.

AppCenterDistribute

• [Fix] Fix in-app updates not working on new Samsung devices.

AppCenterPush

• [Feature] After calling Auth.signIn, the push installation is associated to the signed in user with an accountId and can be pushed by using the accountId audience. This is a different field than the userId set by AppCenter.setUserId. The push installation is also updated on calling Auth.signOut to stop the association.
• [Fix] Fix updating push installation when setting or unsetting the user identifier by calling AppCenter.setUserId.
