Snowplow iOS Tracker v1.6.1

This release fixes a couple of bugs related to Crash Reporting and Global Contexts.
The crashes reported with the Crash Reporting feature were sent without the AppID and all the other contexts attached (e.g.: Session). Instead for the Global Contexts feature it was impossible to add a context generator at runtime when the setGlobalContextGenerators is not declared in the tracker builder.

CHANGELOG

Bug fixes:

• Fix AddGlobalContext unable to work when GlobalContexts not initialized (#553)
• Let Crash reporting to add contexts and AppID (#555)

Snowplow iOS Tracker v1.6.0

This release fixes an issue about Swift Package Manager where the minimum deployment target version didn't meet the stricter requirements of Xcode 12.

We also refactored the session management which fixes an issue where short session timeout could cause more than one session expiration. Also, the new session management avoids other possible issues as it adopts a different way to check if the session is expired (more details on #497 thread).

CHANGELOG

Bug fixes:

• Enable Xcode 12 support for Swift Package Manager (#544) (Thanks to Marc Schultz contribution)
• Make session uuid rotation dependant on events being tracked (#497)

Under the hood:

• Update GitHub Actions to test on iOS 14 (#545)
• Session storageMechanism is marked SQLITE but it's not (#482)

Snowplow iOS Tracker v1.5.0

This release enhances the Emitter component splitting it in three parts:

• EventStore: handles the persistence of tracked events not yet sent to the collector;
• NetworkConnection: establish the connection with the collector and perform the requests;
• Emitter: Handle dispatching like backoff and retry of failed requests and aggregation of events in a single request.
  The SPEmitter API is still the same, so EventStore and NetworkConnection can be configured automatically by the Emitter from the SPEmitter configuration.

In this release we also introduce tracker diagnostics, which help to track errors which happen inside the tracker in order to spot and diagnose tracking issues. Also tracker logs can be reported to the main app. These features can be helpful for inspecting issues during instrumentation of the tracker or troubleshooting of unexpected behaviours.

CHANGELOG

New features:

• Report logs to the app (#534)
• Add diagnostic feature (#533)

Bug fixes:

• Crash connected with method writeSessionToFile in SPSession (#515)

Under the hood:

• Emitter refactoring (#540)

• Validate EventData in Unstructured events (#526)
• Fix url percent escaping (#525)
• Fix contexts duplication (#524)
