Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where the app startup process was slowed down due to Bluedot rules being processed in the main thread.
• Fixed an error where SDK falsely reported a non-fatal error that Wi-Fi scanning is disabled on the device.

Release date September 30, 2019

Point SDK for Android V14.0.0

Enhancements

Android 10 location permission changes incorporated
We have added the new background location permission ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION to the SDK’s Android Manifest file.
When requesting location permissions we recommend, the consuming app should explicitly request this permission which would prompt the user to provide “Allow all the time” access, otherwise, the user will only be prompted “Allow only while using the app” access.

Additional updates to the SDK’s manifest

• WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission has been removed.
• READ_PHONE_STATE permission has been removed.
• ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION permission has been removed.

Please note, as of this release we will no longer be providing the SDK as a standalone artifact to be downloaded from the website. Please consult the project setup documentation for how to integrate the SDK into your application.

Notes about iOS 13:

This SDK version will be compatible with iOS 13 and Bluedot recommends customers this to prepare their app for Apple’s public release in mid-late September. This version also supports Swift 4.2 and Xcode 10.2.

Bluedot has developed this SDK in line with Apple’s ongoing beta releases of iOS 13.

Bluedot expects Apple to release a final iOS 13 beta in early September, before the official public release. As such, you can expect another SDK update shortly after the public release which will support Xcode 11, Swift 5 and any additional changes Apple may make.

Release date May 09, 2019

Point SDK for iOS V1.13.3

Enhancements

This SDK release includes support for:

• Swift 4.2
• Xcode 10.2

Release date April 18, 2019

Point SDK for iOS V1.13.2

Enhancements

MRT Persistence:
Added in Minimum Retrigger Time (MRT) persistence when the user swipes app close to prevent unexpected re-triggers.

Updates to Enhanced app restart mode:
Increased reliability of check-in and check-out in Bludeot’s Enhanced app restart (i.e when the app is swipe closed or the device is restarted).
Note: In Bludeot’s Enhanced app restart, the MRT should be set to more than 2 hours (to avoid OS restrictions overlap).

Release date April 03, 2019

Point SDK for Android V1.13.2

Enhancements

Network communication improvements:
Improvement in network communication from the SDK to Bluedot backend (i.e trigger events, rule downloads).

 

Defect fixes

• Resolved a delay in event triggers being received on the backend (this is only relevant when the SDK is configured to allow the Android Location Foreground Notification).
• Fixed the issue preventing beacons re–triggering after an SDK rule download.
• Context changed to Application Context for registering & unregistering receivers to fix crashes in receivers.

Important notes:

When SDK v1.13.2 is installed devices running Android OS versions M and above the device’s native Alarm clock icon will appear in the status bar. We have reintroduced the use of AlarmManager again which was previously available in the v1.12.2  to improve trigger accuracy. This is a requirement from Android and related to the SDK use of the OS services AlarmManager and ALARM_SERVICE.

---

Release date January 30, 2019

Point SDK for iOS V1.13.1

Enhancements

Persistent InstallRef:
InstallRef is now persisted across the life of the SDK’s install on a specific device. Previously, the InstallRef would change if the SDK (i.e your app) was uninstalled and then reinstalled. If the Point SDK is installed twice on the same device, through two different apps, each installation would have its own unique InstallRef.

Defect fixes

Data Protection capability enabled:
If your app has iOS Data Protection capability enabled and you’re using Bludeot’s Enhanced app restart, the SDK will no longer crash after the phone has been restarted.

---

Release date January 23, 2019

Point SDK for Android V1.13.1

Enhancements

Enhancement in Beacon detection & triggering logic:
Improved the beacon detecting logic of the Point SDK. This will increase the trigger rate of beacons when the device is locked or when the app is in the background.

Defect fixes

Multiple Logout issue fixed:
Calling the Logout method mutiple times would result in multiple logout requests being received, which would eventually cause the SDK to crash. This is now fixed.

---
