Upgrading The iOS SDK From 2.11 To 3.0​

Cocoa Pods​

  1. Update your Podfile. See pod versions in CocoaPods integration guide

    # pod 'Appodeal', '~> 2.11' 
    pod 'Appodeal', '~> 3.0'

Manual​

  1. Download the latest version of Appodeal.zip
  2. Add all downloaded content to Framework, Libraries, and Embedded Content in General settings of project.

Code Changes​

  1. Initilization with consent manager. Since Appodeal SDK 3.0.0 Stack Consent Manager is embdedded in Appodeal SDK core and synchronising by default. Removes all consent manager related logic from project. Call initialization method in your app delegate -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method:

    @UIApplicationMain 
    final class MyAppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, AppodealInitializationDelegate { 
        func application( 
            _ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
            launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil ) -> Bool {
            /// Any pre-initialization 
            /// app specific logic 
            Appodeal.initialize( 
                withApiKey: "APP_KEY", 
                types: .interstitial 
            ) 
            return true 
        }   
    }

    If you still want to use your own implementation of Stack Consent Manager integration, you are able to keep it. In this case Appodeal SDK will skip consent synchronisation process during initialization and will use given consent report.

  2. Initilization without consent manager. You don't need to pass boolean flag into initialization method. Instead of this approach call the one of + updateUserConsentGDPR: or + updateUserConsentCCPA: before initialization. In case the SDK will have at least one non unknown user consent for GDPR or CCPA zone it will skip consent synchronisation process during initialization.

    @UIApplicationMain 
    final class MyAppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, AppodealInitializationDelegate { 
        func application( 
            _ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
            launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil 
        ) -> Bool {
        
            // App specific logic to dertmine regulation zone and user consent
            requestUserConsent { zone, userConsent in
                switch (zone, userConsent) {
                    case .GDPR, true: Appodeal.updateUserConsentGDPR(.personalized)
                    case .GDPR, false: Appodeal.updateUserConsentGDPR(.nonPersonalized)
                    case .CCPA, true: Appodeal.updateUserConsentCCPA(.optIn)
                    case .CCPA, false: Appodeal.updateUserConsentCCPA(.optOut)
                }
                Appodeal.initialize( 
                    withApiKey: "APP_KEY", 
                    types: .interstitial 
                ) 
            }
            return true 
        }   
    }

  3. User data. If your app is setting user age or user gender in Appodeal SDK, you will need to removes current implementation and use the next code.

    Appodeal.setCustomStateValue(AppodealUserGender.male.rawValue, forKey: kAppodealUserGenderKey)
    Appodeal.setCustomStateValue(40, forKey: kAppodealUserAgeKey)
