August Release Roundup: Major updates across several extensions

This month brings one of the biggest waves of updates we've seen recently, with multiple major version releases, SDK updates, and a few important deprecations to note. A lot of these updates bring improved compatibility with Android 35 with the major view changes that are required with any app updates now.

This August has been a month of major foundation upgrades - from Firebase and Play Services to Media Player and Adverts. While some updates require careful migration (especially Firebase and Game Services), they set developers up with the latest features, improved stability, and compliance with upcoming platform changes.

If you're using any of these extensions, now is the time to update your projects and plan migrations ahead of deprecations like Firebase Dynamic Links.

Play Billing v7 (Android 35), Adverts

We've had a big month of updates! From crucial billing upgrades to smoother sign-ins and better mediation support, this round of releases helps you stay compliant, improve user experience, and keep things running smoothly.

We'd also like to take a moment to thank everyone who has migrated to our new payment provider and started using the new website. We hope the transition has been smooth and that you're finding the new site easier to use. If you run into any issues or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out - we're always happy to help!

New website release, extension updates!

Over the past few months, we've been working intensively to rebuild airnativeextensions.com, primarily to integrate a new payment provider and ensure we can continue delivering extensions to developers worldwide. It’s been a significant undertaking, but we’re confident the improvements to the platform will be well worth it.

What this means for you:

• Nothing will change in the near future
• All new purchases will be done through our new payment provider
• We are asking all clients to migrate to the new payment provider

We've made migration easy and allows you to combine your subscriptions into a single payment if you want. More information below.

Also there are lots of extension updates that have been released.

BugSnag, Android Splash Screens, Firebase, Facebook, Adverts

Over the past few months, we have been diligently updating our extensions. We are currently undertaking major rewrites of some of our oldest extensions, which were initially developed over a decade ago. By rebuilding these extensions from the ground up, we aim to integrate the latest functionalities and advancements into AIR.

It has been truly exciting to witness Harman's development of the AIR SDK. We've been actively supporting their efforts by providing insights, identifying and debugging issues, and offering feedback to enhance the development process. The collaboration with Harman has been incredibly productive, and it's fantastic to see such responsiveness and dedication from their team. Their willingness to address our concerns and implement suggestions has significantly contributed to the progress and refinement of the AIR SDK.

We hope all AIR developers are excited by the continuing development of the platform!

ANE updates, AIR SDK Manager

This year has been remarkably busy and unfortunately news updates were pushed down the list, but as the year comes to a close I'd like to update on what we see as the major native extension news over the past months.

Major changes across all our extensions include:

• iOS/macOS Xcode 14 update that required removal of bitcode support and increasing the minimum sdk to 12;
• Android permissions overhaul for new Android 33+ requirements;
• Android compatibility when running AIR in a background thread;
• Apple Silicon support for our macOS extensions;

We have several major projects in the works including:

• Scanner rewrite away from the deprecated library currently in use;
• Migration to gradle dependencies in all our dependency extensions;
• apm integration with IDEs;

Some of the key recent changes are listed below.

Looking forward to another year of amazing AIR development!

AIR SDK Manager, Adverts, Application Rater

As the end of the year approaches we have been cleaning up a lot of the work we have done this year and starting to set out development goals for the first half of next year. As we enter into the final weeks of the year if there is anything in our extensions that you believe should have priority please let us know and we will be sure to schedule it for the beginning of the year.

Importantly this month Harman have released a beta of the new AIR SDK Manager.
