  • Permissions changes - Chartboost doesnโ€™t require any additional permissions anymore. We only recommend adding optional READ_PHONE_STATE permissions for better ad performance. Without this permission we wonโ€™t be able to get important information about the user.
  • Reduced the amount of SDK network calls during foreground and background events.
  • Improved background and foreground handling - SDK wonโ€™t be doing any work during foreground/background events, which will improve performance for the application and reduce battery consumption.

Notes:

  • Removed restrictDataCollection: method.
  • setPIDataUseConsent is deprecated and replaced by addDataUseConsent.
  • getPIDataUseConsent is deprecated and replaced by getDataUseConsent.
  • CBPIDataUseConsent is deprecated. It can be used for the legacy functionality but it is recommended to use the latest API to indicate usersโ€™ data consent status for privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA.

Version 8.0.3 Hotfix (2020-06-19) ๐Ÿ”—

Improvements:

  • Increased ad load timeout to give more time for ads to load, especially on the first try. This was causing issues where SDK could be stuck and never recover its state.

Fixes:

  • Fixed a callback issue on Android 4.x. Some devices were not triggering any callbacks which could lead to increased latency for mediation.
  • Fixed an issue where the SDK would freeze after losing connectivity.

    • Added public final fields to CBInPlay (appName, location, largeAppIconUrl, largeAppIconFile).

Its a default set of location constants which they can use during impression calls.
