New in this release:

This release of the .NET SDK is now built on .NET Standard 2.0. The previous versions of the SDK were built on PCL technology, which has now been updated to the .NET Standard. There are a number of changes that have been made to the internals of the SDK, which are documented in the DevCenter guides and API reference. Three changes worth noting due to their breaking nature are the following:

Breaking Change: There are no longer separate namespaces for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android. The previously used Kinvey-Xamarin-iOS and Kinvey-Xamarin-Android namespaces have been removed. To be compatible with the .NET Standard version of the SDK, change these namespaces to Kinvey.

Breaking Change: The initializtion of the Client object has changed. Based on how this version of the SDK is built, the offline platform is no longer necessary in the Client.Builder object. As a result, it has been removed from the Client.Builder class.

Breaking Change: Since the initialization of the Client object has been simplified and offline platform is no longer necessary, the platform-specific builder classes have removed. This includes AndroidClientBuilder, IOSClientBuilder and DotnetClientBuilder.

New in this release:

  • Bug Fix: A change to how Visual Studio treats the default shared library type for a blank Xamarin.Forms app led to incompatibility with the Kinvey NuGet package. (#160).

The bug fix may require you to take a couple of additional manual steps to complete the SDK installation if you are building a new Xamarin.Forms app. They are described in the DevCenter Getting Started Guide.

Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x

Flex-sdk 3.x contains several breaking changes as well as new features. To upgrade your service from Flex-sdk 2.x to 3.x:

  • All email and push methods now return a promise. It is now required that you either handle the promise, or pass a callback.
  • For all stores (e.g. dataStore, userStore, etc), the deprecated options skipBl and useMasterSecret have been removed and no longer function. Use useBl and useUserContext instead.
  • All asynchonous modules (dataStore, groupStore, roleStore, endpointRunner, userStore, email, and push) now return a promise or accept a callback.
  • For more information on what's new, see the Changelog.

  • Fixed bug which resulted in a 'ProjectNotConfigured' error when running the list command with a successfully configured project

New in this release:

This is the first General Availability release for the Kinvey v3 SDK. There are no significant changes of note between the last beta release (Beta-08) and this GA release.
