See the iOS Customization Guide for more information.

This version fixes a bug that was not allowing in-app notification banners to be enabled for new messages in Message Center.

The Message Center UI also contains a number of small usability improvements.

2015-09-08 - v2.0.1

Version 2.0.1 contains fixes for our CocoaPods release, which was not working correctly with 2.0.0.

Many older API methods have been updated or removed. Please see the "Migrating to 2.0.0" document in this repository for details.

2015-04-23 - v1.7.3

The 1.7.3 release contains a variety of small enhancements.

The Feedback Dialog has received a number of UI improvements. Upgrade Messages are now displayed in full screen, and a rotation bug has been fixed. Warnings introduced by Xcode 6.3 have been fixed.

Localization files have been added for Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, French Canadian, Korean, Spanish (Spain), and Turkish.

Finally, the Feedback Demo example application now allows you to easily select and display any interaction created on your Apptentive account. This allows for easy testing of any given interaction, such as a Survey or Upgrade Message, without needing to first engage the required events or satisfy any time limits.

2015-03-23 - v1.7.2

The 1.7.2 release contains a fix for multithreaded execution of engage: calls. Engaging events from a background thread had the possibility to cause Core Data issues. In 1.7.2, all engage: calls are made on the Main Thread.

2015-02-10 - v1.7.1

The 1.7.1 release contains support for the new "Notes" feature. Use a Note interaction to send an alert with a link or a Survey to people using your app.

Other improvements include fixing an issue where the "View Messages" button could be shown when Message Center was disabled.

The Notes feature is currently in Beta. If you would like to create Notes via your Apptentive dashboard, please contact us: support@apptentive.com

2014-11-20 - v1.6.1

The 1.6.1 release contains an improved FeedbackDemo project for easily testing your Apptentive events and interactions. Simply input your API Key and custom events in the defines.h file, then tap the respective buttons in the demo app to engage those events.

This release also fixes the default message text in the Ratings Prompt, which for some languages may have referenced Message Center when Message Center was disabled.

We have also fixed an issue where some messages were not sorted correctly in Message Center, and toned down Apptentive logging in Release builds.

2014-10-20 - v1.6.0

The 1.6.0 release adds the method willShowInteractionForEvent:, which returns YES if engaging the given event will cause an Interaction to be shown.

For example, willShowInteractionForEvent: returns YES if a survey is ready to be shown the next time you engage your survey-targeted event. You can thus use this method to hide a "Show Survey" button in your app if there is no survey to take.

We have also fixed an issue with adding photos to Message Center on iOS 8 iPads, as well as some Xcode 6 static analyzer warnings.

Finally, we have added xib-based Launch Images to the Apptentive demo app. This fixes an issue when presenting Message Center from landscape on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices. If you are experiencing the same problem, you will most likely need to add Launch Images for the new iPhone screen sizes to your parent app.

2014-09-26 - v1.5.8

This release adds a number of fixes for the landscape presentation of Message Center in iOS 8. If you discover other iOS 8 issues in your app, please contact us!

We have also fixed an issue related to targeting interactions based upon custom data. If you are targeting Surveys or Rating Prompts to show only to people with certain device or person custom data attributes, you will need to update to this version of the SDK.

2014-09-12 - v1.5.7

This release adds a number of small fixes for Xcode 6 and iOS 8. We've updated the project to use Xcode 6's default settings, and fixed a number of warnings that surfaced in Xcode 6.

We have also added an ATSurveyShownNotification notification when a survey is shown.

We are now immediately updating new Push Notification integrations to the server, which will make for easier testing of new integrations. These were previously batched with device updates.

This release fixes a malformed image that caused a pngcrush error in Xcode CI builds.

Finally, we removed a debug background color that slipped into the iOS 6 Message Center's textfield.

2014-08-24 - v1.5.6

This release adds initial iOS 8 support to the Apptentive SDK.

Specifically, an issue has been fixed where Message Center messages are not displayed in iOS 8. An iPad layout issue has also been fixed.

We will continue to add fixes as we test Apptentive with the latest iOS 8 beta releases. If you identify iOS 8 issues in the SDK, please contact us by opening a GitHub issue!

This release also adds support for displaying Asset Catalog app icons.

2014-08-19 - v1.5.5

This release improves the Message Center user interface. The Message Center background is now white, rather than a transparent panel. Message bubbles now appear in the tint color of your app, or the tint color you set on ATConnect. Default profile pictures have been improved, and other small improvements have been made.

This release also improves error handling when creating Events with customData. An Event's customData dictionary will only be sent if it conforms to the isValidJSONObject: method of NSJSONSerialization.

Finally, addParseIntegrationWithDeviceToken: has been added for integrating with Parse's Push Notification service.

2014-07-21 - v1.5.4

This release changes the App Store rating URL to open the "Reviews" tab directly in iOS 7.1+. #110

We have also fixed an issue where the text selection loupe showed through Message Panel to the view beneath. #114

French Canadian localization strings have been added to the SDK. iOS 8 is required to differentiate between French and French Canadian.

Finally, we have added new API methods for attaching customData and extendedData to events:

  • engage:withCustomData:fromViewController:
  • engage:withCustomData:withExtendedData:fromViewController:

We have also added methods to easily construct these extendedData dictionaries in the specific Apptentive format:

  • extendedDataDate:
  • extendedDataLocationForLatitude:longitude:
  • extendedDataCommerceWithTransactionID:affiliation:revenue:shipping:tax:currency:commerceItems:
  • extendedDataCommerceItemWithItemID:name:category:price:quantity:currency:

2014-06-30 - v1.5.3

This release fixes an issue where the Rating Prompt's "Require Email" option was not being utilized.

Support has also been added for remote configuration of Apptentive branding. Depending on your Apptentive plan, branding can now be toggled remotely.

Branding was formerly controlled by the showTagLine property, which has now been removed. The initiallyHideBranding property has been provided to control the app's initial experience before Apptentive's server-based configuration can be fetched.

2014-06-12 - v1.5.2

This release fixes a crash when submitting a piece of Feedback without an email address after tapping "No" on the Enjoyment Dialog. This bug affected versions 1.4.3, 1.5.0, and 1.5.1. If you are using one of these releases, we strongly recommend you upgrade your Apptentive SDK as soon as possible.

Additionally, the current iOS version is now logged as, for example, "7.1.1" whereas it was formerly "Version 7.1.1 (Build 11D201)".

2014-06-10 - v1.5.1

This release fixes a crash when showing Surveys in iOS 5 or iOS 6 from Apptentive v1.5.0. Surveys have additionally been disabled remotely for devices using Apptentive 1.5.0 and running an OS version prior to iOS 7. We recommend upgrading immediately from 1.5.0 if you are using Surveys and support legacy devices.

This release also includes fixes for the new CocoaPods Trunk service and release process.

The showTagLine property of ATConnect now makes the "Powered By Apptentive" logo in Message Center unclickable in addition to hidden.

Finally, we have changed the language code used for delivering localizations to use [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] firstObject] rather than use the NSLocaleLanguageCode locale component.

2014-05-27 - v1.5.0

This release moves Surveys to the engagement framework. You will now be able to target surveys to events that you engage: in your app. This change enables surveys to be chained with other interactions, such as the Ratings Prompt. From your Apptentive dashboard, you can now present a Survey if someone answers "No" to your "Do you Love App_Name?" prompt.

This release also fully removes the ATAppRatingFlow.h and ATSurveys.h header files. You can now simply import ATConnect.h when using Apptentive.

If you were using a version prior to 1.5.0, please read MigratingTo_1.5.0.md for information on how to migrate your API calls to this release. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we hope the new features will more than make up for it!

Finally, we have migrated and improved our documentation for this release. The GitHub README now presents a smaller and simpler overview of Apptentive, and links to relevant sections on the Apptentive Documentation site.

2014-05-05 - v1.4.3

This release adds checks to ensure that custom person data is sent in a timely manner and is immediately visible in the dashboard alongside messages.

Added debuggingOptions property on ATConnect that allows the developer to specify debug logging preferences for their app. Use debuggingOptions to hide the debug panel or limit the debug logging of HTTP requests.

Also fixes an issue where Chinese and Japanese keyboard input could hide buttons in the Feedback dialog.

Fixes:

  • IOS-489 Chinese input hides feedback dialog buttons.
  • IOS-381 Japanese input hides feedback dialog buttons.
  • IOS-478 Issue where setting custom person data is not synced to server.

Code points are returned from the server with their components URL encoded. This fix makes the client properly recognize them.

Fixes:

  • IOS-479 URL encode each token of a codepoint

2014-04-07 - v1.4.0

This marks the first release of a more generalized engagement framework. This will allow us to chain interactions together in interesting ways, provide better server-side configuration of what customers see and when they see it, and lay the foundation for some very interesting features in the future.

If you were using a version prior to 1.4.0, please read MigratingTo_1.5.0.md for information on how to migrate your API calls to this release. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we hope the new features will more than make up for it!

Fixes:

  • Lots of changes for the engagement framework.
  • IOS-447 Add identifierForVendor as device property.
  • Fix for a memory leak in ATInteractionUsageData.

2013-12-20 - v1.2.4

This release includes a UI refresh for iOS 7. Specifically, the message center and message panel both have completely new UIs.

Our previous UI should still work for iOS 4.3-6, with the new UI showing up on iOS 7+. There were a significant number of changes made, so we suggest you take a look and test things out with your app to see if we missed anything or if things don't look nice inside your app.

2013-11-22 - v1.2.3

This is a release solely to fix a crash related to database migration in iOS 7.

iOS 7 switched the SQLite backing store for Core Data to use write ahead logging (WAL), which make the datastore no longer consist of a single file, but several. When performing database migrations, we were creating an upgraded database then moving it into the location of the old database. Unfortunately, the -wal and -shm sidecar files that now accompanied that old database were there alongside the new upgraded database. Since these were no longer valid when SQLite tried to load them along with the new database, there were some weird exceptions and crashes happening.

This release attempts to fix those problems. All new databases are created with the previous iOS default, DELETE mode. When we migrate databases with WAL mode set, we now delete the -wal and -shm sidecars before moving the new database into place. We also attempt to detect corrupt databases in existing installations and remove them if they exist. Finally, we've added a canary to tell us if we crashed while setting up our database. If we did, we delete the database and start it over from scratch.

Fixes:

2013-10-22 - v1.2.2

This release focuses on adding upgrade messages support. See the readme for information on how to use this feature.

We also added custom data on individual messages. See the docs/APIChanges.md for details.

Note that you'll need to add Accelerate.framework to your project now, if it's not already there.

These are mostly changes on the web side of things, but there are also some client changes:

  • Moved survey responses into Core Data.
  • IOS-119 Implement short v. long survey text response type
  • IOS-116 Implement new survey submission endpoint

Other changes for IOS 7 forward compatibility:

  • IOS-181 App hangs in iOS 7 after "No email Address?" input field alert.

Other fixes:

  • apptentive-ios#45 Renames ATMessage to ATAbstractMessage because of naming conflict with AirTraffic.framework
  • We accidentally used the Traditional Chinese localization for both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. This has been fixed.
  • Added useMessageCenter property on ATConnect for those who don't want to use Message Center.

2013-08-18 - v1.0.1

Deprecating the -addCustomData:withKey: and -removeCustomDataWithKey: methods in ATConnect.

In their place, use these new methods, which add custom data about devices and people:

/*! Adds an additional data field to any feedback sent. object should be an NSDate, NSNumber, or NSString. */
- (void)addCustomPersonData:(NSObject<NSCoding> *)object withKey:(NSString *)key;
- (void)addCustomDeviceData:(NSObject<NSCoding> *)object withKey:(NSString *)key;

/*! Removes an additional data field from the feedback sent. */
- (void)removeCustomPersonDataWithKey:(NSString *)key;
- (void)removeCustomDeviceDataWithKey:(NSString *)key;

Also deprecating the appName property on ATAppRatingFlow. Now, the display name of the application used in our framework can be set server-side.

Per IOS-144 and IOS-145, we now have much better localizations across many more languages.

We have started on iOS 7 compatibility with IOS-157, IOS-159, IOS-164, IOS-168, and IOS-169. We covered some of the major parts, but there's more to come!

Fixes:

  • IOS-144 Get incremental updates of localizable strings for Message Center

  • IOS-176 Select/Copy/Paste menu is broken
  • IOS-179 Localization overflow in Message Center feedback form title
  • apptentive-ios#44 Doesn't work well in portrait mode on iPad
  • apptentive-ios#26 More localizations

Thanks to Robert Lo Bue and Applingua (with help from SpaceInch) for the new localizations!

2013-02-01 - v0.4.8

This is a bug fix release.

  • Fixes IOS-80 Use StoreKit to show product page when reviewing app
    • Your users on iOS 6 and above will no longer be bounced out of the app to rate your app.
    • To use this, you'll need to link against StoreKit and build with the iOS 6 SDK.
  • Fixes IOS-86 Always dismiss keyboard on feedback dialog going away
  • Fixes IOS-76 Update launch logic for iOS 4 API (better last use of app metrics for iOS 4+)
  • Fixes IOS-83 Distribution build script phase is buggy and runs even when not necessary
  • Fixes IOS-72 Find out more button doesn't work in iOS 6

  • Fixes IOS-15 Privacy information on info screen
  • Fixes Issue #30 JSONKit warnings in Xcode 4.6

  • Fixes IOS-97 Sending file attachments is writing files to disk a lot
  • Fixes IOS-88 Send CP suffix on client version for cocoa pod versions

2012-09-27 - v0.4.7

Major change:

  • We're dropping armv6 support. This means no more iPhone 3G or iPod Touch 2 support. This is in line with what we're seeing from app developers and other vendors of 3rd party libraries. If you really need armv6 support, let us know.

Other changes:

  • Fixes IOS-71 Add callback after survey completion See the ATSurveys.h header for details.

  • Added showTagline property on ATConnect. This allows you to hide the "Powered by Apptentive" logo text.

  • Fixes IOS-78 Always send dates in english

    This bug was causing some dates to be sent localized to the server. Oops.

  • Fixes IOS-79 Allow dev to prompt user to re-rate after new version installed

    When the "Reset rating prompt counters when app version changes" settings is enabled, if a user has already rated the app, that will be reset when they upgrade the app. The upshot of this is, users will be prompted to rate the app again after upgrade. You may want to do this if you want users to re-rate the app on a version change, as the iOS App Store is heavily geared towards ratings and reviews for the current version. This change makes our behavior match what developers expect when checking that box on the Apptentive site.

  • URL Loading changes:

  • Fixes IOS-39 No option to cancel a photo/screenshot attachment?

    • To cancel a screenshot or photo attachment, just drag it away from the paperclip.

2012-09-11 - v0.4.6

One major change in the API:

  • The shouldTakeScreenshot property of ATConnect is now NO by default.

Some changes for iOS 6 compatibility:

  • Fixes for viewDidUnload deprecation (IOS-66 Fixes for deprecated API in iOS 6)
  • Retrieves review URL for app store from our server (IOS-64)
  • Fixes issue when taking a photo with the iPad camera.

So, due to iOS 6 changing the review URL for opening the App Store and submitting a review, we're now computing this on the server.

Other fixes:

  • IOS-60 Respect "cache-expiration" setting returned with configuration
  • #23 Modal window closes after feedback (Also logged as IOS-68 Modal Dialog Issue)
  • IOS-70 Getting surveys returns 404 on no surveys
  • IOS-67 Populate the feedback source field with "enjoyment_dialog" when launched from the ratings prompt
  • Changes to shouldTakeScreenshot property with existing images attached to feedback work more like one would expect.

Of these, the configuration expiration lets us be less aggressive in retrieving new configurations from the server on startup. #23 fixes a problem in which presenting the feedback dialog from within a modal view controller caused view hierarchy issues with the modal view controller. IOS-70 was, in cases where the app had no surveys, sometimes preventing configuration settings being retrieved from the server. IOS-67 lets us track which pieces of feedback were generated by people saying they don't like the app in the ratings flow.

2012-08-29 - v0.4.6

Changes for OS X compatibility:

  • Added backing ivars for properties.
  • Removed methods for displaying different feedback window types on OS X.

2012-08-29 - v0.4.5

Fixes in this version:

  • Fixes IOS-65, [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] being nil after feedback window is dismissed.
  • Fixes leak of feedback and custom placeholder text by feedback controller.
  • Current feedback is cleared before feedback window is shown by ratings and after that window is dismissed.

2012-08-08 - v0.4.4

Major changes:

We switched from JSONKit to our PrefixedJSONKit library, which prefixes all the JSONKit symbols. In this case, our prefix is AT. So, we no longer conflict with JSONKit. If you were using JSONKit already and removed it in favor of ours, you'll want to add the original JSONKit back to your project rather than using the PrefixedJSONKit project.

Minor changes:

  • Fix for IOS-59, which tweaks how ATBackend stops and restarts the task queue.

2012-07-24 - v0.4.3

  • Fix for IOS-41, wherein the metrics were being sent incorrectly and metric for text responses was being sent after the metric for survey submission.

2012-07-23 - v0.4.2

  • Fix for #20, wherein the image picker on iPad would cause the app to crash.

2012-07-22 - v0.4.2

  • IOS-52: Requests sent before API key is set won't succeed until next app start

    Thanks to @kgn for finding this and proposing a fix. The fix we've chosen is a bit more involved. We are now making each of our various URL requests be handled by ATTask objects, which can tell the task queue whether or not they're able to be executed at the current time. For the case of API requests, that will be NO until such time as the API key is set.

2012-07-09 - v0.4.2

Minor changes:

2012-06-25 - v0.4.1

Major changes:

The surveys module has been integrated into ApptentiveConnect proper, as the survey features are now live for all users on the site. If you have previously added the Surveys module to your app, you will need to update the configuration by removing it from your app and including the ATSurveys.h header file.

Minor changes:

  • Consistent use of tabs for indents.
  • New icons with new Apptentive logo.

2012-06-01 - v0.4.0

Major changes:

The metrics module has been integrated into ApptentiveConnect proper. Now that you can enable and disable metrics from the website, it didn't make sense to keep them separate.

Bug fixes:

2012-03-26 - v0.3.3

Fixes problem wherein app wouldn't use the correct ratings configuration from the server.

2012-03-25 - v0.3.0

Major changes:

  • Start of version 0.3.
  • Ratings flow configuration is now done server-side. Old parameters in SDK no longer exist.
  • There are now server-side on/off switches for both ratings and metrics.
  • Added initial version of surveys.
  • Ratings parameter counters (days of use, significant events) can be reset on version upgrade.
  • Including armv6 (non-thumb) architecture in all libraries.
  • "Distribution" target in FeedbackDemo builds a static library distribution.
  • Application exit events wired up in Metrics module.
  • Adding initialName property to ATConnect for pre-populating the user's name.

Metrics

The metrics module can be used by simply linking against the libApptentiveMetrics.a static library. That's it. You can turn metrics on or off server side in your app settings.

Surveys

This is a very rough initial version of surveys. To use, link against libApptentiveSurveys.a.

Specific bug fixes and features:

  • IOS-3: App Exit events don't seem to be sent?
  • IOS-6: $ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT is now armv7 only, needs to be changed to armv6 and armv7
  • IOS-11: Surveys Module on iOS
  • IOS-21: Support for Server Side Ratings Settings
  • IOS-22: Option to clear ratings parameter values (days of use, events, etc.) on version upgrade
  • IOS-34: Add support for prepopulating the user's name

2012-01-13 - v0.2.0

  • Start of version 0.2.
  • Added support for adding and removing extra data to feedback.
  • Added initial version of metrics module.
  • Added support for optionally showing or hiding the email address field on feedback.
  • Added support for setting an initial email address on the feedback form.

To add data to feedback, use these methods on ATConnect:

- (void)addAdditionalInfoToFeedback:(NSObject<NSCoding> *)object withKey:(NSString *)key;
- (void)removeAdditionalInfoFromFeedbackWithKey:(NSString *)key;

The data objects should, at this time, either be of type NSString or NSDate. They will be added to the record[data] hash, with the key as the key, as in record[data][key].

If you add the metrics module to your project, it will load on run. It's experimental at this point, so I wouldn't recommend using it quite yet.

You can use these properties to control email field behavior on the feedback form:

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL showEmailField;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *initialEmailAddress;

showEmailField controls whether or not the email address field is shown on the feedback form. initialEmailAddress can be used to set the initial email address that populates the field. Note: if the user submits feedback with a different email address, initialEmailAddress will not be used.
