18.0.0

Breaking

• Streamlines the iOS integration process to not require writing native code to forward content cards, banners, feature flags, in-app messages, or push notification updates from the native SDK.
  • The SDK will now automatically set up these subscriptions when the Braze instance is created.
  • This matches the existing behavior on Android.
  • To migrate, remove any manual calls to braze.contentCards.subscribeToUpdates(), braze.banners.subscribeToUpdates(), braze.notifications.subscribeToUpdates, braze.featureFlags.subscribeToUpdates and braze.inAppMessagePresenter in the AppDelegate.
  • By default, in-app messages will be presented. To override this, set a custom in-app message presenter using the postInitialization closure in BrazePlugin.configure(_:postInitialization:).

Added

• Adds support for delayed SDK initialization. See full setup guide here.
  • Adds initialize(apiKey, endpoint) method to create the Braze instance at runtime with the stored configuration. This method can be called multiple times to re-initialize the SDK with a different API key and endpoint mid-session.
  • To enable delayed initialization on Android, add com_braze_enable_delayed_initialization set to true in your braze.xml.
• For iOS integrations only, adds BrazePlugin.configure(_:postInitialization:) to store configurations in your AppDelegate for later use by the new Dart initialize(apiKey, endpoint) method.
  • BrazePlugin.initBraze() is deprecated. Use the configure + Dart initialize pattern instead.

Fixed

• Updates the native iOS bridge from Braze Swift SDK 14.0.1 to 14.0.4.
