  .subscribe(function(pet) {
    /*
      {
        "_id": "3f583e9f-d064-4a25-a953-6cf0a3dc2ff1",
        "_acl": {...},
        "dogName": "Bob",
        "furColor": "brown with black spots",
        "pawPrintPicture": {
          "_type": "KinveyFile",
          "_id": "325620e4-93dd-4a26-9f84-8a5e62c0db11",
          "_filename": "bobsPawPrint.png",

          "_downloadURL": <Google Cloud Storage download URL>,
          "_expiresAt": "2018-06-18T23:07:23.394Z"
        }
      }
    */
  }, function(error) {
    // ...
  });

3.10.2

- Mar 29, 2018

• Enhancement: Previously, a datastore instance would implicitly push pending entity changes before performing a request that would overwrite the local entity changes. This change removes the implicit push and will instead return an error stating that there are entities that need to be synced before you complete the action. #276
• Enhancement: You can now provide a instanceId as a config option to init(). This will setup the backend and Mobile Identity Connect API urls to use your instanceId properly. #278

Kinvey.init({
  appKey: '<appKey>',
  appSecret: '<appSecret>'
  instanceId: '<my-subdomain>'
});

• Enhancement: Add default entitlements.plist file to allow users to login while testing apps using the iOS simulator. #281
• Fixed: Check that a value is an object before calling Object.keys() in Query.isSupportedOffline(). #245
• Fixed: Use es6-promise for promises in live service related files instead of native promises. #272
• Fixed: Override exported Files module to use the NativeScript SDK version. This fixes issues that might have been encountered when uploading files with the NativeScript SDK. #280

3.10.1

- Mar 13, 2018

• Enhancement: Allow NativeScript apps to read appKey, appSecret and masterSecret from the package.json file, instead of passing them as parameters to Kinvey.init(). #261
• Enhancement: The default API version used by Mobile Identity Connect is now v3. #259 #268
• Enhancement: Auto Pagination Support. #260

The Kinvey backend imposes a limit of 10,000 entities on data requests. If your app needs to pull a larger number of entities to the cache, you can request the SDK to "auto-paginate". The SDK will then retrieve the entire set of entities page by page. This feature only applies to Cache and Sync stores.

var dataStore = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books', Kinvey.DataStoreType.Sync);

//Pull the entire collection page by page.
var promise = dataStore.pull(null, { autoPagination: true })
  .then(function onSuccess(count) {
    // "count" represents the number of entities retrieved
  }).catch(function onError(error) {
    // ...
  });

• Fixed: The authorization header for Mobile Identity Connect token requests now uses the long-form OAuth Client ID. This fix is only relevant to apps that use multiple auth providers. A detailed discussion on OAuth Client IDs can be found in the Mobile Identity Connect guide. #263

3.10.0

- Feb 26, 2018

• Enhancement: We've restructured our class hierarchy for working with data, to facilitate future performance improvements.
• Enhancement: CacheStore methods create() and update() can now handle more concurrent requests.
• Enhancement: CacheStore.delete() method now applies the same query both locally and against the backend, instead of making separate "by-id" requests for entities found in the cache.
• Enhancement: The clear() method for a CacheStore or SyncStore now clears the sync queue.
• Enhancement: Sync items found for entities which are no longer present in cache will be cleared when a sync push is performed to prevent errors.
• Enhancement: Improved the throttling of requests when doing a sync push.
• Fixed: Database connections to WebSQL are now cached. #241
• Fixed: Some browsers don't support Number.isNaN() so we added a polyfill. #243
• Fixed: Update typescript definitions to allow anonymouse user signup. #242
• Fixed: Export LiveServiceFacade instead of LiveService. #254

3.9.10

- Feb 9, 2018

• Use correct config property for setting storage providers #228
• Add missing version property to RequestOptions in the TypeScript definition file #235
• _id field not returned when specifying fields for a query #233
• Use WebView events to capture redirect #237

3.9.9

- Jan 26, 2018

• Enhancement: You can now specify which storage provider to use to cache data. See the code snippet below for an example. #213

Kinvey.init({
  appKey: '<appKey>',
  appSecret: '<appSecret>'
  storage: Kinvey.StorageProvider.SQLite // or [Kinvey.StorageProvider.SQLite, Kinvey.StorageProvider.Memory]
});

// Possible Values
enum StorageProvider {
  SQLite
  Memory
}

• Enhancement: You can now use a datastore to perform actions on a subset of data in a collection without providing a query each time to match that subset of data. See the code snippet below for an example. #220

var datastore = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books', Kinvey.DataStore.Sync, { tag: 'Kinvey' }); // Tag the datastore
var query = new Kinvey.Query().equalTo('author', 'Kinvey');
datastore.pull(query)
  .then(function() {
    return datastore.find().toPromise();
  })
  .then(function(books) {
    // all of these books have Kinvey as their author
  });

• Fixed: Correctly sort entities that have a null or undefined value for the sort field. #205
• Fixed: Add polyfill for Object.prototype.assign(). #225

3.9.7

• Improvement: Adopt a mono repo style repository. This change has no impact on the SDK output. It restructures our codebase to make releases and open source contributions easier. #171
• Fixed and Breaking Change: You can now import the Push module. Please use import { Push } from 'kinvey-nativescript-sdk'; instead of import { Push } from 'kinvey-nativescript-sdk/push';. #28
