Expo Support
• Changes the SDK so that running in Expo will no longer cause the SDK to crash. The SDK now checks to make sure that the native event emitter exists before attempting to use it.
• This means OneSignal will not crash in Expo - however - since Expo's dev app cannot load native code, any calls to OneSignal's SDK will simply be ignored until the project is detached from Expo.
GDPR Support
• Adds new methods for Android and iOS that allow developers to require user consent before the SDK is fully initialized.
• Developers can call OneSignal. setRequiresUserPrivacyConsent(true) to require a user's consent before the SDK collects any information.
• Until this point, any calls to the SDK are ignored. Once OneSignal.provideUserConsent(true) is called, the SDK will fully initialize. By default, this behavior is turned off.
JS Initialization
• The SDK can now be used completely by JavaScript, without having to touch any Objective-C or gradle files.
• Developers can call OneSignal.init(appId) to initialize the SDK in JavaScript.
• The older native initialization methods are still present but deprecated.
• Simplifies the setup process, removes the need to modify Xcode build settings for copying header files.
Bug Fixes
• Fixes an issue that would have caused occasional crashes when calling postNotification(), getPermissionSubscriptionState(), and when various errors were returned. This issue was caused by unsafe JSON serialization.
