Former iOS (Objective-C)

The former iOS (Objective-C) SDK is the earlier version of our SDK, primarily built using Objective-C.

  • If you haven't migrated to the New iOS (Swift) SDK yet, use this documentation.

  • We recommend transitioning to the new iOS (Swift) SDK for improved performance and access to the latest features.

Migration to Swift SDK: Key Dates and Details

To support modern iOS capabilities and provide the best development experience, we’re evolving our SDK. By October 8, 2026, our Objective-C SDK will become legacy, and all new development will continue on the Swift SDK.

What This Transition Brings to Your Marketing Campaigns

  • Live Activities – Send real-time updates directly to users’ lock screens (e.g., sports scores, delivery tracking).

  • Deferred Deep Linking – Direct users to specific content in your app, even if installation is required first.

  • WhatsApp – Engage users through outbound WhatsApp campaigns.

  • Improved Performance – Faster, more reliable push delivery and enhanced data collection.

Technical Improvements

  • Swift Package Manager (SPM) Support – Install and update the SDK easily with no manual setup.

  • Fast Setup with Minimal Code – Get started quickly using example projects and built-in Netmera-Config.plist support.

  • Performance and Observability Uplift – Structural and diagnostic enhancements improve runtime efficiency and monitoring capabilities.

Timeline

  • Until October 8, 2026: Objective-C SDK remains supported but will not receive new features.

  • From October 2026 onwards: Objective-C SDK enters legacy status. Security patches will continue until December 2026. Active development, feature updates, and enhancements will continue exclusively on the Swift SDK.

We recommend planning your migration early to take advantage of the Swift SDK’s capabilities and ensure uninterrupted access to the newest features.

Your Action Items

  • Marketing Teams – Coordinate with development teams to plan migration timelines around upcoming campaigns.

  • Development Teams – Review Swift SDK documentation and assess migration guide for your current implementation.
