September 2018 Preview Release (v0.13.7)
Pre-release
Welcome to the September 2018 preview release of the Project Rome SDK for Android and iOS.
We are actively working toward the release of the Project Rome v1 release. To date, we have been releasing only minor releases, in preview-mode. As a result, the 'master' branch is the active dev branch where APIs are changing and the samples may not work. Check out the sections below to learn more.
Release Highlights (What's New)
In this month's release, we are adding a brand-new feature, Notifications, that enables your app to notify your users in a more human-centric way.
For more detail, be sure to check out the updated API reference docs and the 'getting started' for Android and iOS.
User-Centric Notifications
You can use the notifications API in Microsoft Graph to send notifications to a user from your app’s server, and the notification will be delivered to all devices where the user is using your app. The centralized notification store and unified Microsoft Graph REST API allow you to focus on designing a great user-centric notification experience, rather than worrying about device-specific and platform-specific notification protocols. The latest update of Project Rome SDK helps you complete that experience by providing new APIs to register, receive, manage, and access notifications client side. This way, scenarios like universal notification dismissal across devices or accessing notification history, can be made easy.
Sample Changes
You'll find new Notification samples for Android, iOS, and Windows. Be sure to sync to the latest git tag, for a given release, to ensure the samples work properly.
