iOS agent release notesRSS

Improvements

tvOS is now supported! The New Relic agent will now build and run on your tvOS apps with the same great features as the iOS agent! For more information, learn how to install and configure the iOS agent for tvOS apps.

Fixes

Fixed crash caused by a notification that could occur if the app is shutting down when it attempts to access deallocated objects.

Improvements

• Crash Report Upload Retry Limiting
  • Crash report upload retries will now be limited. This is to prevent crashes from being queued eternally.
• Platform Tracking
  • A new API, +setPlatform:, was added to NewRelic.h. This will allow bold users to set which platform their app is built with (for example, Unity, Xamarin, React, etc.). This will allow for additional features in the future.

Fixes

• Insights API Improvements
  • +recordEvent:withAttributes: and +setAttribute:withValue: will no longer block the calling thread.

Information

Fixes

This release is no longer available due to compatibility issues. See iOS agent release v5.5.1 notes for more details.

Fixes

• Corrects possible crash on launch if key data file is corrupted.

Improvements

• Added new feature flag, NRFeatureFlag_DefaultInteraction, which allows default interactions to be disabled. Disabling this feature flag will allow the agent to only capture custom interactions.

Fixes

• Corrected warnings inadvertently caused by new Xcode build setting, CLANG_ENABLE_MODULES = YES.

Improvements

• Improved the dSYM archive uploader so it will now dispatch asynchronously to the build, and will retry the upload up to 3 times.
• Custom metrics will now accept spaces in the name.
• Improved Cocoapods support. The NewRelicAgent podspec no longer includes version strings in framework paths. This eases pod management and reduces diff clutter when dealing with version control software.

Fixes

• Corrected a bug in crash reporting where certain internal symbols were globally visible when the -ObjC linker flag is present.
• Corrected a bug in crash reporting where Cortex-A9 chips were reported as ARM-Unknown in crash reports.
• Validating the length of activities, only allowing those with a start time within the current session.

Improvements

• This release changes the way Monthly Active Unique devices (MAUs) are identified. The iOS agent now uses the iOS provided identifierForVendor from Apple to count unique devices. 

Fixes

• Improved internal management of application termination, reducing occurrences of a specific agent crash.
• The agent will no longer harvest in the background if the app is executing background activities.

Improvements

• Added new Insights attributes tracking new app installs and upgrades, for the upcoming Mobile Version Trends Report.

Fixes

• Fixed missing Cross Application Trace header in HTTP Error data. This will result in more detailed data in HTTP Errors dashboards.
• Off-loaded interaction event generation from main thread to background thread. This caused UI sluggishness under extreme circumstances
