Pendo Mobile SDK

Due to the addition of account metadata support in this SDK, our installation instructions have slightly changed. Please use these instructions for SDK 52.

Added Setting account metadata from your mobile app: it is now possible to send, alongside the key-value pairs of user data, also key-value pairs of account data. Please refer to the installation instructions for more details.

Added Tag gestures support in tagging – some apps implement buttons via tap gestures. If your app has such implementation, this SDK allows you to tag such buttons and trigger guides based on their clicks.

Changed Added support for guide presentation in iPhone X and any iOS device with a “notch”: guides will not use the “Safe areas” of the device.

Changed Our internal implementation of listening to screen view and tap events was changed due to a PSPDFKit library conflict. There should be no effect on the SDK’s functionality. We recommend upgrading to this SDK if you use the PSPDFKit library in your app.

Fixed When the app sets a visitor ID with the SDK and then switches to a different visitor ID after login, the new user metadata is now successfully set for the latter visitor.

Fixed Fixed iOS13 issue relating to tooltip – if your app has an active mobile tooltip guide, or if you’re going to publish such guide, you must take this SDK in order for tooltips to work for users who move to iOS13 in September.

Added Tag gestures support in tagging – some apps implement buttons via tap gestures. Tthe user is not aware of this. Behind the scenes, such button clicks are implemented via tap gestures. If your app has such implementation, take this SDK to be able to tag such buttons and trigger guides based on their clicks.

Fixed Fixed app latency caused by analytics collection on a pageViewController with a cyclic structure (i.e. the last page takes the user back to the first page and so force).

Fixed The SDK’s recommended flow is to initalize the SDK from the Application object, in order to not lose analytics.
We now found out that some customers want to initialize the SDK from an Activity. While this is not the recommended flow, we enabled this flow and fixed several bugs around this flow.
Note that this means that analytics and guides will not work prior to initializing the SDK.
