5.0.0

This version wrapps the latest native SDKs and makes sure the SDK is fully compatible with Android O and iOS 11. There have been no changes that are specifically about the Xamarin SDK as it is a simple wrapper around the native SDKs.

The most notable changes are:

  • The SDK is now supporting iOS 8 and later.
  • The SDK is now supporting Android API level 15 or later.
  • It's no longer possible to authenticate a user using a device identifier on Android.

Please read the full changelog below.

Breaking Changes

This release comes with one major breaking change. HockeySDK 5.0.0 raises the minimum API level to 15.
In addition, we no longer support restricting builds by device id. The reason is that, with Android O, ANDROID_ID no longer ensures a consistent way of identification of a user.

To be ready for Android O, HockeySDK-Android now limits the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission with the maxSdkVersion filter. In some use cases, e.g. where an app contains a dependency that requires this permission, maxSdkVersion makes it impossible for those dependencies to grant or request the permission. The solution for those cases is to declare the tools:node="replace" manifest merging strategy later in the dependency tree:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" tools:node="replace"/>

Thx a lot to Lauri for notifying us.
