1.19.0

Core

• Batch now compiles and targets SDK 32 (Android 12L).
• Important change: Batch now declares to use the android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission in its manifest. If you want to remove it, add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS" tools:node="remove" /> in your app's AndroidManifest.
• Fixed some rare ANRs produced when receiving push.
• Identical push messages sent twice by FCM will now only be displayed once.
• Batch will now try to display FCM high priority push notifications directly rather than scheduling a Job.

Event Dispatchers

• Added getName and getVersion on BatchEventDispatcher. If you are using a Batch dispatcher plugin, please update it.

Messaging

• Added global frequency capping management for in-app campaigns.
• Improved the way In-App campaigns are triggered.
• Added just-in-time verification for in-app campaigns.

Inbox

• Added the ability to disable the filtering of silent notifications on BatchInboxFetcher using the setFilterSilentNotifications method.
• Important change: Silent notifications are now filtered by default: use the new property if you relied on the previous behaviour.
  This brings the Android SDK in line with its iOS counterpart, which has always filtered silent notifications as expected.

1.18.2

Core

• Fixed an issue where the AAR's shrinking would result in classes being repackaged as generic names outside of "com.batch.android".
  This could have caused package collisions in some cases. The shrinking behaviour now matches pre-1.18 releases.

Messaging

• Fixed some rare crashes and improved out of memory handling in In-App Messaging.
• Improved error handling in WebView In-Apps. They should now behave more like a browser when encountering load failures.
• Changed the way In-App campaigns start and end dates are computed on Samsung devices to be more reliable.
• Prevent Xiaomi devices from overriding theme colors in dark mode.

Debug

• Fixed an issue where the FindMyInstallation feature could lead to a crash.

1.18.1

Core

• Fixed a crash that could happen when using APIs (such as Batch.optOut()) when the SDK isn't started.

1.18.0

Core

• Fixed detection of indonesian, hebrew and yiddish languages.
• Improved how the device locale is detected to better support language variations.
• Fixed an issue where the direct opens weren't always tracked in singleTop/singleTask activities using onNewIntent.

Events

• The event tracker now retries less aggressively in deteriorated network conditions.
• Added URL type (using java.net.URI) in event data.

Attributes

• Added URL type in custom attributes.

Messaging

• Fixed an issue where in-app campaigns could lead to a crash of the app when swiping to dismiss.
• Added support for Activity Exclusion. This allows to easily exclude some activities such as a splash screen from Batch rather than having to implement a Do Not Disturb mode. Intent forwarding is automatically handled by the SDK.

Push

• Added compatibility with FCM Tokens. Batch now supports firebase-messaging 22.0.0 natively without having to add firebase-iid.

Inbox

• Batch will now cache notifications marked as read or deleted to avoid any synchronization issues.
• Method isDeleted() from BatchInboxNotificationContent is now deprecated.

Debug

• Fixed an issue where the debug activity would show the advertising identifier even if it was disabled. The bug was purely cosmetic and the identifier was not sent to Batch.
• Batch will now copy the installation ID to the clipboard when the application is foregrounded multiple times in a short timespan. This is enabled by default, you can disable it at any moment by using Batch.setFindMyInstallationEnabled(false).

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.
