2.3.0-preview

This preview version adds support for .NET Core 3.0 WPF and WinForms applications for the Analytics and Crashes modules.

2.0.0

Version 2.0.0

Version 2.0.0 of the App Center SDK includes two new modules: Auth and Data.

These new modules are only supported in Xamarin (Android and iOS).

This version has a breaking change for Xamarin.iOS, it only supports Xcode 10.0.0+ and Mono 5.12+.

App Center Auth

App Center Auth is a cloud-based identity management service that enables you to authenticate users and manage their identities. You can also leverage user identities in other App Center services.

App Center Data

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.

App Center Crashes

• [Fix] Fix intellisense for APIs.

Xamarin

• [Feature] After calling Auth.SignInAsync(), 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(string). Calling Auth.SignOut() stops the accountId association for the next crashes.

iOS

• [Fix] Print an error and return immediately when calling Crashes.NotifyUserConfirmation(UserConfirmation) with confirmation handlers not implemented.

App Center Distribute

• [Fix] Fix intellisense for APIs.

iOS

• [Fix] Starting the application with "Guided Access" enabled blocks the update flow since in-app update is not possible in this mode.

Android

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

App Center Push

• [Fix] Fix intellisense for APIs.

Xamarin

• [Feature] After calling Auth.SignInAsync(), 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(string). 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.

1.14.0

Version 1.14.0

AppCenter

iOS

• [Fix] Fix a crash in case decrypting a value failed.

iOS

• [Fix] Fix crash on invoking an optional push callback when it isn't implemented in the push delegate.

AppCenterDistribute

Android

• [Fix] Fix in-app updates not working on devices using Xiaomi MIUI from versions 10 and above.

1.13.2

AppCenter

• [Improvement] Add missing XML documentation in the NuGet packages.

Android

• [Fix] The SDK normally disables storing and sending logs when SQLite is failing instead of crashing the application. New SQLite APIs were introduced in version 1.9.0 and the new API exceptions were not caught, this is now fixed.

iOS

• [Fix] Fix a possible deadlock if the SDK is started from a background thread.
• [Fix] Fix a crash if database query failed.

AppCenterDistribute

Android

• [Fix] Fix exception if we receive deep link intent with setup failure before onStart.
• [Fix] Fix checking updates for applications installed on corporate-owned single-use devices.

iOS

• [Fix] Fix a race condition crash on upgrading the application to newer version.

AppCenterCrashes

iOS

• [Fix] Fix a crash on iOS when triggering null reference exception and starting Crashes in background. The conditon might still occur very rarely if trigger a null reference exception in another thread during the short time where the SDK configures native crash reporter. It is thus recommended to initialize AppCenter Crashes as early as possible (which is also recommended to capture early crashes).

1.13.0

Version 1.13.0

AppCenter

Android

• [Feature] AppCenter SDK now supports the User ID string, with a maximum of 256 characters, that applies to crashes, handled errors, and push logs. Settable via AppCenter.SetUserId().

• [Fix] Fix TLS 1.2 configuration for some specific devices running API level <21. The bug did not affect all devices running older API levels, only some models/brands, and prevented any data from being sent.

iOS

• [Feature] AppCenter SDK now supports the User ID string, with a maximum of 256 characters, that applies to crashes, handled errors, and push logs. Settable via AppCenter.SetUserId().
• [Fix] Fix issue where the SDK source could not be built in a directory that contains escaped characters (applies to all modules).

AppCenterAnalytics

UWP

• [Fix] Extend the current session instead of starting a new session when sending events from the background.

Android

• [Fix] Extend the current session instead of starting a new session when sending events from the background. Sessions are also no longer started in background by sending an event or a log from another service such as push, as a consequence the push registration information will be missing from crash events information.

AppCenterDistribute

Android

• [Fix] Fix issue with forcing Chrome to open links when other browsers are the default.
