Releases · BatchLabs/Batch-Cordova-Plugin

This is a major release with breaking changes. Please see the migration guide for more info.

Plugin

Renamed the plugin to @batch.com/cordova-plugin. It's cordova internal name is still com.batch.cordova due to cordova limitations.
The plugin cordova name is used when managing plugins after installation.
Updated plugin for recent Cordova/Ionic versions.
Batch Cordova's new version requirements are:
- iOS >= 10.0
- Android >= 5.0 (API 21)
- Cordova CLI >= 9.0.0
- Ionic CLI (if used) >= 6.0.0
- cordova-android >= 9.0.0
- cordova-iOS >= 6.0.0
Updated native Batch SDK to 1.17.0.
Native SDK version can be configured using the BATCHSDK_ANDROID_VERSION and BATCHSDK_IOS_VERSION preferences.
Please note that this version of the plugin will not work with earlier native Batch SDK versions.
Added Ionic Capacitor support. Requires Capacitor 2.4 or higher.
Fixed an issue where Cordova/Ionic would not properly write the required AndroidManifest lines.

Android

The plugin requires AndroidX to be enabled in your config.xml using <preference name="AndroidXEnabled" value="true" /> (Cordova only).
Ionic users will need to add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter.
The plugin doesn't depend on Firebase and appcompat anymore. Batch expects androidx.appcompat and Firebase Cloud Messaging to be in your application.
This can be setup using the Firebase plugin of your choice:
- We recommend cordova-plugin-firebase-messaging for Cordova.
  If you do not want to add Firebase to your iOS app, manual FCM integration steps are available in our integration documentation.
- Capacitor comes with appcompat and FCM support out of the box, no extra plugin is needed.
You will also be required to configure your google-services.json manually: this is described in the integration documentation and should be covered by your Firebase plugin's documentation.

iOS

The native SDK isn't bundled anymore: Cocoapods is now used to integrate Batch's native component.
The plugin now automatically sets a UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate to handle new iOS features.
This enables configuration of foreground push behaviour: they can now be displayed in an alert just like if the user was outside of the application.
It can be disabled by calling BatchBridgeNotificationCenterDelegate.automaticallyRegister = false as soon as possible in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:.
Fixed a bug where notification opens on cold start would not work.
Fixed multiple mobile landings related bugs.
Fixed multiple batchPushReceived related bugs.
Fixed an issue where boolean custom data was saved as integers.
