Driver SDK for iOS Release Notes

This section contains release notes for the Driver SDK for iOS.

Freezing support for iOS 14 - May 15, 2023

According to the Mobile OS version support policy, we are freezing support for iOS 14 in an upcoming major version of Driver SDK for iOS.

Versions of Driver SDK for iOS released beginning the second quarter of 2024 will support a minimum of iOS 15. Earlier SDK versions will continue supporting iOS 14.

If your dependencies do not specify a version number, your IDE will load the newest SDK version and new builds of your app will not support iOS 14.

Specify a version of the Driver SDK for iOS in your application's build dependencies in order to control when you raise the minimum supported OS for new versions of your app.

v2.2.0 (January, 2023)

  • Fixes bug where location timestamps in vehicle updates were truncated to the nearest second. DriverSDK now reports the timestamp of location updates with millisecond precision.

Newly filled fields include: heading_accuracy, altitude, altitude_accuracy, speed, speed_accuracy, location_sensor, raw_location, raw_location_time, raw_location_sensor, and raw_location_accuracy. DriverSDK also ceases reporting the deprecated speed_kph field.
  • Updates the URL for terms and conditions in the header files to the correct link, and fixes other minor issues with punctuation.

Authentication API changes

  • Removed unnecessary properties from the GMTDAuthorizationContext interface.

(void) fetchAuthTokenForServiceType:(GMTSServiceType)serviceType authorizationContext:(nullable GMTSAuthorizationContext *)authorizationContext completion:(GMTSAuthTokenFetchCompletionHandler)completion

is now

(void)fetchTokenWithContext:(nullable GMTDAuthorizationContext *)authorizationContext completion:(GMTDAuthTokenFetchCompletionHandler)completion;

Replaced GMTSAuthorizationContext with GMTDAuthorizationContext.

Changed AuthorizationContext to a class with properties, and removed serviceType.

Crash reporting

Added crash detection during SDK initialization. There is also an option to opt out by using the setAbnormalTerminationReportingEnabled: API on GMTDServices.

Freezing support for iOS 12 - Oct 18, 2021

In response to changes in our internal dependencies, we are freezing support for iOS 12 in an upcoming major version of Driver SDK for iOS.

Driver SDK for iOS v2.0 or higher will only support devices running a minimum of iOS 13. Earlier SDK versions will continue to support iOS 12.

If your dependencies in CocoaPods or Carthage do not specify a version number, Xcode will load the newest version and new builds of your app will not support iOS 12.

Be sure to specify a version in your application's build dependencies in order to control when you raise the minimum supported OS for new versions of your app. See examples of specifying a version in Maps SDK for iOS documentation. See the guidance on app maintenance best practices.
