intercom/intercom-android 4.1.0

on GitHub

• Fix StrictMode warnings in Android Oreo
• Deprecated Intercom.client().reset() in favour of Intercom.client().logout()
• Intercom now runs a ContentProvider which automatically calls registerForLaterInitialisation(). This means Intercom no longer requires you to make a custom Application class. Intercom.initialize can now be called from your Activity if you would prefer.

Experimental API

• Added an experimental API. To use it please import io.intercom.android.sdk.experimental.Intercom. The changes to the new API are:
  • Replaced Intercom.initialize(Application, String, String) with Intercom.boot(Application, IntercomSettings) Unlike initialize, boot does not need to be called in a custom Application class. It also results in the creation/ logging in of a user.
  • The methods registerUnidentifiedUser() and registerIdentifiedUser(Registration) are removed. Calling boot now registers a user. The IntercomSettings object has an optional email and userId. If either of those was provided an identified user is registered, otherwise an unidentified user is created.
  • To migrate from an unidentified to an identified user you can simply call updateUser(UserAttributes) where the UserAttributes object contains an userId and/or email.
  • The method logout() has been replaced with shutdown().

We would appreciate any feedback regarding the experimental API. You can contact us using the Intercom Messenger
