API changes

Authentication changes

  • The SDK calls getToken() for your implementation of the AuthTokenFactory interface for each gRPC. The SDK accomplishes this by intercepting calls to Fleet Engine, and then attaching the returned JWT from getToken() to the HTTP authorization header. Note that it is up to you to generate valid tokens. That is, tokens that haven't expired, and that have proper claims.

  • Changed GMTSAuthorization to GMTCAuthorization.

  • Removed GMTSServiceType.

Changes to trip information and callbacks

  • Updated the trip property name: remainingDistanceOfActiveRouteInMeters.

  • Added traffic data updating to GMTCTripModelSubscriber.

  • Added the property remainingDistanceOfCurrentRouteInMeters.

  • Added new properties to GMTSTripPropertyFields:

    • GMTSTripPropertyFieldRemainingDistanceOfActiveRouteInMeters.
    • GMTSTripPropertyFieldDistanceOfRemainingRouteInMetersGMTSTripPropertyFieldActiveRoute.
    • GMTSTripPropertyFieldActiveRouteTrafficGMTSTripPropertyFieldRemainingRoute.
    • GMTSTripPropertyFieldRemainingRouteTraffic.

  • Added new properties remainingDistanceOfActiveRouteInMeters and distanceOfRemainingRouteInMeters in GMTSTrip.

  • RegisterSubscriber now starts trip monitoring automatically for a tripModel. UnregisterSubscriber will stop monitoring when there are no more subscribers. ModelState and ModelOptions were renamed to state and options respectively. stop and start were removed from the public header.

    • Renamed modelState to state.
    • Renamed modelOptions to options.
    • Removed start() and stop() in TripModel.

Other API changes

  • Removed GMTSTripPreview and GMTSTripPreviewVehicleOptions.

  • Removed the pickup point selection service, which includes:

    • GMTSPickupPointArea.
    • GMTSPickupPointGroup.
    • GMTSPickupPointMatch.

Freezing support for iOS 12 - October 18, 2021

In response to changes in our internal dependencies, we are freezing support for iOS 12 in an upcoming major version of Consumer SDK for iOS.

Consumer SDK for iOS v2.0 or higher will only support devices running a minimum of iOS 13. Earlier SDK versions will continue to support iOS 12.

If your dependencies in CocoaPods or Carthage do not specify a version number, Xcode will load the newest version and new builds of your app will not support iOS 12.

Be sure to specify a version in your application's build dependencies in order to control when you raise the minimum supported OS for new versions of your app. See examples of specifying a version in Maps SDK for iOS documentation. See the guidance on app maintenance best practices.
