Release 5.0.1

• Requires react-native >= 0.60
• Includes native SDKs iOS 0.37.0, Android 5.0.4
• Adds lastAttributedTouchData method.

  const attributionWindow = 365;
  branch.lastAttributedTouchData(attributionWindow, latData => {
    // latData is an Object
  });

  See https://help.branch.io/developers-hub/docs/retrieving-branchs-last-attributed-touch-data
  for further details.

Release 5.0.0

• Requires react-native >= 0.60
• This release includes Branch native SDKs Android 5.0.3 and iOS 0.35.0.
• Added RNBranchModule.onNewIntent for Android. This replaces calling setIntent and RNBranchModule.reInitSession.

   @Override
   public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
           super.onNewIntent(intent);
           RNBranchModule.onNewIntent(intent);
   }

• Added cachedInitialEvent Boolean parameter to onOpenStart callback.
• Improved support of in-app linking via branch.openURL(). The newActivity option for Android was removed.
• There is a known issue with in-app linking on Android. When opening a link within an app via branch.openURL(), there is no onOpenStart callback and no uri parameter in the onOpenComplete callback. This will be addressed in the next release.
• Rebuilt testbed_simple, webview_example and browser_example with RN 0.62.2.

Release 5.0.0-rc.1

• Requires react-native >= 0.60
• This release includes Branch native SDKs Android 5.0.1 and iOS 0.34.0.
• The onOpenStart function is now called for Universal Links on iOS when
  launched from a link, and the uri parameter is populated in the
  onOpenComplete callback in this case.
• The return value of branch.subscribe() did not work as an unsubscribe
  function. This has been fixed.
• Add support for all standard v2 events.
• Add support for an alias property in Branch v2 events (also known as
  Customer Event Alias).

Release 5.0.0-beta.1

For use with react-native >= 0.60

• This release includes Branch native SDKs Android 5.0.0 and iOS 0.32.0.
• The branch.subscribe callback now passes a third named parameter, uri,
  which is the URI/URL that originally launched the app. In some cases this
  may be null (e.g. deferred deep links). Consult the ~referring_link,
  +url or +non_branch_link parameter in those cases.
• You can now be notified when Branch is about to open a link using two
  separate callbacks, onOpenStart and onOpenComplete. The
  onOpenComplete callback is identical with the single callback passed to
  branch.subscribe.

    import branch from 'react-native-branch'

    branch.subscribe({
      onOpenStart: ({uri}) => {
        console.log('Branch will open ' + uri)
      },
      onOpenComplete: ({error, params, uri}) => {
        if (error) {
          console.log('Error from Branch opening ' + uri + ': ' + error)
          return
        }

        console.log('Branch opened ' + uri)
        // handle params
      },
    })

Updating from an earlier version:

iOS

In the AppDelegate, use the following methods:

Obj-C

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url options:(nonnull NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey,id> *)options {
      return [RNBranch application:application openURL:url options:options];
    }

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application continueUserActivity:(NSUserActivity *)userActivity restorationHandler:(void (^)(NSArray<id<UIUserActivityRestoring>> *restorableObjects))restorationHandler {
      return [RNBranch continueUserActivity:userActivity];
    }

Swift

    func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
      return RNBranch.application(app, open: url, options: options)
    }

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity, restorationHandler: @escaping ([UIUserActivityRestoring]?) -> Void) -> Bool {
      return RNBranch.continue(userActivity)
    }
