Description

Change to Cordova plug-in libraries

The BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Cordova plug-in static libraries for iOS are now distributed as .xcframework (previously they were .framework). This enables support for all x86_64 and arm64 iOS simulators.

Changes to software requirements
This release adds support for:
  • Node.js 20.17.0 or later (recommended)
  • BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for Android version 14.1.x, in addition to 13.2.x, 13.0.x (12.1 is no longer supported)
  • BlackBerry Dynamics SDK for iOS 14.0.x, in addition to 13.1.x, 13.0.x (12.1 is no longer supported)
Note: This version of the SDK does not support the recently released cordova-ios 8.0.0 or Cordova CLI 13.0.0. Support for these versions will be added in a later release. This version of the SDK supports cordova-ios 7.1.1 and Cordova CLI 12.x. When you use the cordova platform add command, by default the command will try to add version 8.0.0; you must use the following command to add 7.1.1 instead:

cordova platform add ios@7.1.1

For more information, see the SDK software requirements.

All SDK resources available via download package

Previously, plug-ins and samples for the SDK were made available on GitHub. As of release 13.0, all plug-ins and samples are now available directly in the SDK package and will no longer be made available on GitHub.

Fixed issues

BlackBerry Dynamics Cordova apps were unable to fetch external JavaScript or CSS files over a network from an iOS simulator running on an M1 Mac machine. (GD-60923)

Known issues

You cannot enable inline media playback when using cordova-plugin-bbd-inappbrowser. (GD-65405)

Workaround: Modify the code of codova-plugin-bbd-inappbrowser to switch the video to use inline mode.

When an asynchronous HTTP request is sent from an iOS app, a response with CORS error may occur due to CORS server configurations and strict security policies of WkWebview integrated to cordova-ios. (GD-58418)

Workaround: Use the cordova-plugin-bbd-httprequest plug-in.
