Version 5.2.0

This version wraps HockeySDK-iOS 5.1.2 and HockeySDK-Android 5.2.0.

• [Bugfix] #130 - TaskException is sent even if it is marked as Observed. PR #131
• [Security] To enforce TLS 1.2 on all HTTPS connections the SDK makes, we are dropping support for API level 15 (which supports only TLS 1.0), the minimum SDK version thus becomes 16. Previous versions of the SDK were already using TLS 1.2 on API level 16+.

Changelog for HockeySDK-Android

5.0.4

This version contains a few bugfixes as well as the removal of an API that has been deprecated since HockeySDK 3.7.0-Beta.2.

• Removal of deprecated API ExceptionHandler.saveException(Throwable exception, CrashManagerListener listener) has been deprecated since 3.7.0-beta.2. Use ExceptionHandler.saveException(Throwable exception, Thread thread, CrashManagerListener listener) instead. #317
• Bugfix The SDK now deletes redundant crash reports. #318
• Bugfix The SDK does no longer send the event that indicates the start of a session twice but once. There was no impact on session counts as the event was de-duplicated on the server. #321
• Bugfix Fixes a potential deadlock when reading device information when saving an exception. #323
• Bugfix Fixes a potential NPE when processing stacktraces. Thanks to Thomas Reis for reporting issue #331. #332

5.0.3

This release now limits the number of crashes that are stored by the SDK while the device is offline to 100 Crashes. HockeySDK-Android will stop to collect crashes until the number of unsent crashes drops below the limit of 100 unsent crashes.

• [BUGFIX] Fixes a possible OutOfMemoryError exception. This only occurs when a very large number of crashes – several 100k or more – wasn't sent to the server. #313

Changelog for HockeySDK-iOS

5.1.0

• [FEATURE] Add Turkish localization thanks to Ozgur.#478

Version 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.
