202405.15.0 (2024-05-20)

This SDK release contains couple of internal improvements & a new feature for app-specific data hosts. No Public API changes.

Custom Host Name Configuration

Richie SDK-based applications now support the configuration of an app-specific host name, replacing the default data.richie.app domain for fetching app content, including configurations and Editions issues. Set the RichieAppDataHost key in Info.plist of the host app to the app-specific hostname which has been coordinated with Richie.

Updated Pinned Certificates

This release includes an updated set of pinned Richie certificates. These updates are essential to maintain the seamless functionality of Richie SDK-based applications moving forward.

If you have already adopted the previous SDK version 202404.11.0 then it's important that you'll update to this SDK version before August 2024.

Changelog

  • 202405.11: Update the list of pinned Richie certificates
  • 202404.33: Add check for free disk space before downloading edition. Add accessed API information (NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryDiskSpace) to the privacy manifest.
  • 202404.29: Add Richie App Data Host customization support. By setting the RichieAppDataHost key in host app Info.plist to the app-specific host name all requests to Richie app data backend will be done to that hostname instead of the default data.richie.app.

202404.11.0 (2024-04-16)

This release fixes issues in the new reader and adds two new interfaces on top of the old functionality: Richie as an entry point to all the sub-SDKs (ads, editions, books) and RichieAdsController as a more modern, limited version of RichieAds. For now these are just facades on the still-available old types and you can adopt them on your own pace.

  • 202404.10: Add some sendability annotations
  • 202404.4: Add an unified SDK factory, Richie. You can use it to create ads, editions and books root objects.
    • The books factory method drops the useCustomTabs parameter that is on the BooksLibraryController constructor because it was being ignored there.
