18.1.0

Fixed

• Fixes an issue where ImageOnly Content Cards with a blank (but present) image url would be discarded as invalid.
  • These cards are now displayed as blank cards, matching the Android SDK's behavior.
• Fixes an issue where aliases and other events could be dropped if logged before a session started.
• Fixes an issue where device info (timezone, locale, model, OS version) could be missing on new profiles if it was sent before a session started. The SDK now waits and sends that info with the session.

Added

• Adds @MainActor annotation to Braze.Notifications.subscribeToUpdates(_:) closure parameter to properly enforce Swift 6 strict concurrency checking.
• Adds Braze.Banner.RemovalReason.expired, passed to BrazeBannerPlacement.removeBannerContent(reason:) when a banner is removed from the local cache after expiring.

Deprecated

• Deprecates Braze.Configuration.useUUIDAsDeviceId, which will be removed in a future major release (20.0.0). Once removed, the SDK will always use a randomly generated UUID as the device ID.
  • After configuration is removed, device IDs previously persisted from the identifierForVendor (IDFV) continue to be respected until local persistence is cleared and device ID becomes UUID-based.
• Deprecates Braze.Configuration.DeviceProperty.resolution (and its Objective-C equivalent BRZDeviceProperty.resolution), which will be removed in a future major release (20.0.0). This field is not used by the SDK or Braze backend.
