1.17.3

Event Dispatchers

• Fixed an issue where event dispatchers added via Batch.EventDispatcher.addDispatcher() were unregistered when Batch stopped: they will stay registered.
  Statically declared (such as Batch's builtin ones) were unregistered and re-registered on start: those are now loaded only once in the Application's lifetime.

1.17.2

Core

• Added a package query entry in AndroidManifest.xml for com.android.vending to make Play Store detection work more accurately on Huawei devices.

Messaging

• Fix in-app campaigns cache being unreadable.

User

• Fixed an issue where builtin event track action would not be able to parse dates on Lollipop and lower.

1.17.1

Core

• Fixed a memory leak due to Batch retaining the first activity that appeared on screen.

Actions

• Fixed a bug where batch.user.event would fail is no event label was specified. This aligns the behaviour with iOS' implementation.

User

• Tracking an event with an empty label now behaves as if the label was null. Event labels that are only composed of whitespaces are unchanged for compatibility.

Messaging

• Caching has been disabled on the WebView format.

1.17.0

Core

• Added a package query entry in AndroidManifest.xml for com.huawei.appmarket to enable detection of the Huawei AppGallery.
• Added missing android:exported manifest attributes in preparation for Android 12.

Actions

• Added batch.rating, which asks the user to review your app using the Google Play In-App Review API.
  To enable in-app review, add the com.google.android.play:core dependency to your project.
  If the library is missing or fails, the SDK will open the Play Store/Huawei AppGallery.
• Added batch.clipboard, which can copy text to the clipboard.

Messaging

• Added support for a new UI format: WebView. See documentation for more info.
• Added onBatchMessageCancelledByError on Batch.Messaging.LifecycleListener, called when a message could not be loaded due to an error when loading the message's content.
• Added onBatchMessageWebViewActionTriggered on Batch.Messaging.LifecycleListener, called when a in-app webview format action has been triggered.
• In-App campaign cache is now cleared on server errors

Push

• Important change: Push open pending intents are now created with FLAG_IMMUTABLE on Android M and higher in preparation for Android 12.
  This also applies to PendingIntent instances returned by Batch.Push.makePendingIntent*() methods.

Event Dispatchers

• Added the new event types MESSAGING_CLOSE_ERROR and MESSAGING_WEBVIEW_CLICK. See javadoc for more info.

1.16.3

Core

• Fix an issue where Batch might lose some module configuration (such as the push small icon) when an activity is destroyed and no other is on screen.

Push

• Fix a bug where query parameters of rich push media URLs were escaped twice, making use of non URL safe characters impossible.

1.16.2

Messaging

• Fix in-app campaigns cache being unreadable. This caused an issue where in-app campaigns with a NEW_SESSION trigger would not work if Android or the user killed the application process.

1.16.1

Core

• Fixed a crash that happened when using Messaging (In-App messages/Mobile landings) or the Debug view. It was due to the removal of a default proguard rule, resulting in broken R references.

1.16.0

Core

• Batch is now built using the Android 11 (sdk version 30) SDK, and targets it. Android 11 is fully supported.
• Batch is now built using R8 rather than proguard.
• Add support for Push/Advertising ID plugins.
• Support for TLS versions older than 1.2 has been disabled for devices on Lollipop and higher. Devices on 4.1 to 4.4 might still use TLS 1.1 for compatiblity.
• Should to fix an issue where Google would report a security issue in com.batch.android.c.h.c due to our usage of an ECB cipher. We've always used standard HTTPS for our network communication: the weak encryption is only used for an additional layer of security on disk and during transport.

Inbox

• Enhanced the way the SDK fetchs notifications from the servers to greatly reduce bandwidth usage. No public API change.

Messaging

• Fixed an issue where In-App messages might not survive rotation with newer AndroidX core versions.
• Fixed an issue where rotating an autoclosable In-App message would not show the right countdown.
• Fixed an issue where LeakCanary would temporarily report a leak with autoclosable messages. This was due to a delayed callback that eventually went away: Batch now cancels it sooner.
• Auto closable In-App messages won't attempt to dismiss themselves in the background anymore: they'll check if they should have been in onStart.

1.15.2

Messaging

• Fixed a crash where the app would crash if the user rotated an automatically dismissing fullscreen/modal/image template.

User

• Added support for Date in BatchEventData.
• BatchEventData now supports up to 15 attributes (used to be 10).
• BatchUserAttribute now has a public constructor for easier mocking.
