Android SDK Release Notes

We are constantly working to improve our SDK. Here you’ll find the change log for the Android SDK and related details.

Android SDK 2.11.0 Release

🔄 Changed

  • Rebuilt the SDK internals on Kotlin coroutines. The documented public API and stored data format remain unchanged.
  • Calls made before Reteno.initWithConfig(...) are now held and executed in call order after initialization.
  • Consolidated synchronization into one ordered pipeline. Retryable network, 5xx, and 429 errors pause the pipeline until the next cycle without stalling, duplicating, or losing data.
  • User attributes now reach the server correctly after rejected updates, user switches, and offline changes.
  • Improved In-App message display, offline support, click tracking, swipe dismissal, and WebView security.
  • Local database timestamps are handled as UTC, unreadable rows are skipped, and spurious upgrade errors are no longer reported.
  • SDK logs no longer expose access keys, URLs, request bodies, or personal data. Stored log events are uploaded again.
  • Test coverage now approaches 100%, measured with Kotlinx Kover.

✔️ Fixed

  • RetenoNotifications.requestNotificationPermission() no longer hangs and returns false when the permission dialog cannot complete safely.
  • Fixed initialization hangs, validation crashes on the main thread, slide-up messages removed during a swipe, and R8-stripped recommendation models.

⚠️ Removed

  • Removed implementation classes that had been public only for technical reasons, including ServiceLocator, OperationQueue, internal controllers, repositories, workers, and utilities. Applications using these undocumented internals must migrate to the documented public API.
