26.1.0-np

• Added a new Countly.sessions interface for manual session control:

  • beginSession()
  • updateSession()
  • endSession()

• Added a new Countly.remoteConfig interface with:

  • update()
  • updateForKeysOnly(keyNames)
  • updateExceptKeys(keyNames)
  • getValue(keyName)
  • clearValues()

• Added a new Countly.views interface with:

  • startAutoStoppedView(viewName, segmentation?)
  • startView(viewName, segmentation?)
  • stopViewWithName(viewName, segmentation?)
  • stopViewWithID(viewID, segmentation?)
  • stopAllViews(segmentation?)
  • pauseViewWithID(viewID)
  • resumeViewWithID(viewID)
  • addSegmentationToViewWithID(viewID, segmentation)
  • addSegmentationToViewWithName(viewName, segmentation)
  • setGlobalViewSegmentation(segmentation?)
  • updateGlobalViewSegmentation(segmentation)

• Deprecated root-level session methods in favor of Countly.sessions:

  • Countly.startSession()
  • Countly.updateSession()
  • Countly.endSession()

• Deprecated root-level remote config methods in favor of Countly.remoteConfig:

  • Countly.remoteConfigUpdate(...)
  • Countly.updateRemoteConfigForKeysOnly(...)
  • Countly.updateRemoteConfigExceptKeys(...)
  • Countly.getRemoteConfigValueForKey(...)
  • Countly.getRemoteConfigValueForKeyP(...)
  • Countly.remoteConfigClearValues()

• Deprecated root-level view recording in favor of Countly.views.startAutoStoppedView(...):

  • Countly.recordView(...)

• Deprecated legacy feedback shortcut helpers in favor of the newer direct present APIs:

  • Countly.feedback.showNPS(...) -> Countly.feedback.presentNPS(...)
  • Countly.feedback.showSurvey(...) -> Countly.feedback.presentSurvey(...)
  • Countly.feedback.showRating(...) -> Countly.feedback.presentRating(...)

• Added Countly.remoteConfig.getValue(keyName) as the async replacement for the older root-level remote config getters. It returns null when a value is missing.

• Added Countly.addCustomNetworkRequestHeaders(...) for runtime request header updates.

• Added Countly.content.previewContent(contentId) for direct content previews.

• Added Countly.webViewDisplayOption constants and .content.setWebViewDisplayOption(...) for controlling content and feedback presentation.

• Added direct Countly.feedback.presentNPS(...), Countly.feedback.presentSurvey(...), and Countly.feedback.presentRating(...) helpers backed by the latest native feedback APIs.

• Added Countly.deviceId.changeID(newDeviceID, merge) to the device ID interface for explicit merge control after removing the old root-level Countly.changeDeviceId(...) API.

• Added init config options for manual session control, hybrid manual session mode, automatic view tracking, global view segmentation, custom network request headers, and disabling auto view restart.

  • enableManualSessionControl()
  • enableManualSessionControlHybridMode()
  • enableAutomaticViewTracking()
  • setAutomaticViewTrackingExclusionList(automaticViewTrackingExclusionList)
  • setGlobalViewSegmentation(globalViewSegmentation)
  • addCustomNetworkRequestHeaders(customHeaderValues)
  • disableViewRestartForManualRecording()

• Mitigated an issue where the new remote config interface could reject on normal runtime conditions such as missing values, invalid input, or use before SDK initialization. These calls now log and return without crashing the app.

• Mitigated an issue where Countly.initWithConfig(...) could preserve an empty deviceID under the wrong field name instead of clearing the init payload value.

• Mitigated an issue where allowedIntentPackageNames could be dropped from init config serialization unless allowedIntentClassNames was also provided.

• Mitigated an inconsistency where Countly.deviceId.setID(Countly.TemporaryDeviceIDString) did not route temporary-device-ID mode through the dedicated native handling on Android, and now does so explicitly on both Android and iOS.

  • Removed Countly.init(...). Use Countly.initWithConfig(countlyConfig).
  • Removed Countly.hasBeenCalledOnStart(). No direct replacement.
  • Removed Countly.sendEvent(...). Use Countly.events.recordEvent(...).
  • Removed Countly.pushTokenType(...). Use CountlyConfig.setPushTokenType(...) and CountlyConfig.setPushNotificationChannelInformation(...).
  • Removed Countly.configureIntentRedirectionCheck(...). Use CountlyConfig.configureIntentRedirectionCheck(...).
  • Removed Countly.start() and Countly.stop(). No direct replacement; automatic session tracking is enabled by default. For manual control use Countly.sessions.beginSession(), Countly.sessions.updateSession(), and Countly.sessions.endSession().
  • Removed Countly.enableLogging() and Countly.disableLogging(). Use Countly.setLoggingEnabled(...).
  • Removed Countly.setLocationInit(...). Use CountlyConfig.setLocation(...).
  • Removed Countly.getCurrentDeviceId(). Use Countly.deviceId.getID().
  • Removed Countly.getDeviceIDType(). Use Countly.deviceId.getType().
  • Removed Countly.changeDeviceId(...). Use Countly.deviceId.setID(...) for automatic merge selection or Countly.deviceId.changeID(..., merge) for explicit merge control.
  • Removed Countly.enableCrashReporting(). Use CountlyConfig.enableCrashReporting() with Countly.initWithConfig(...).
  • Removed Countly.enableParameterTamperingProtection(...). Use CountlyConfig.enableParameterTamperingProtection(...).
  • Removed Countly.startEvent(...), Countly.cancelEvent(...), and Countly.endEvent(...). Use Countly.events.startEvent(...), Countly.events.cancelEvent(...), and Countly.events.endEvent(...).
  • Removed Countly.setRequiresConsent(...). Use CountlyConfig.setRequiresConsent(...).
  • Removed Countly.giveConsentInit(...). Use CountlyConfig.giveConsent(...).
  • Removed Countly.setStarRatingDialogTexts(...). Use CountlyConfig.setStarRatingDialogTexts(...).
  • Removed Countly.getFeedbackWidgets(). Use Countly.feedback.getAvailableFeedbackWidgets().
  • Removed Countly.presentFeedbackWidgetObject(...). Use Countly.feedback.presentFeedbackWidget(...).
  • Removed Countly.enableApm() and CountlyConfig.enableApm(). Use the CountlyConfig.apm interface, including enableAppStartTimeTracking(), enableForegroundBackgroundTracking(), and enableManualAppLoadedTrigger() as needed.
  • Removed Countly.enableAttribution(...) and Countly.recordAttributionID(...). Use Countly.recordIndirectAttribution(...).
  • Removed CountlyConfig.pushTokenType(...). Use CountlyConfig.setPushTokenType(...) and CountlyConfig.setPushNotificationChannelInformation(...).

• Android specific changes:

  • Added disableGradualRequestCleaner() init config support.
  • Set the initial activity during SDK initialization to improve content and feedback presentation flows.
  • Ensured Android feedback, survey, NPS, and rating presentation runs on the UI thread to avoid WebView/dialog crashes when showing widgets from the React Native bridge.
  • Aligned the Android bridge with the current native SDK APIs for APM/crash config, preserved feedback widget version metadata for presentation, and allowed typed user-property values to pass through to the native user profile API.

• iOS specific changes:

  • Added support for the latest manual session handling, custom request header, content preview, and safe-area content display APIs from the native SDK.
  • Aligned the user-profile bridge with the current Countly.user APIs for typed custom-property setters and forwarded custom user data during Countly.setUserData(...) and Countly.userDataBulk.setUserProperties(...).
  • ! Minor Breaking change ! : on iOS, custom fields passed through Countly.setUserData(...) and Countly.userDataBulk.setUserProperties(...) are now forwarded to the native SDK instead of being ignored by the bridge.

• Updated the underlying Android SDK version to 26.1.2

• Updated the underlying iOS SDK version to 26.1.1
