See the Migration Guide for details.
iOS 21.0.0
Sep 15, 2026SDK 21.0 splits the Scene/layout rendering engine out of AirshipCore into new modules, removes CocoaPods support, requires Xcode 27, brings on-device AI to Scenes and in-app experiences, includes a broad set of Scene layout fixes, and tightens the public API surface across modules. See the Migration Guide for details. Changes Xcode 27 is now required to build the SDK. Removed CocoaPods support, ahead of Trunk’s specs repo going read-only in December . Integrate via Swift Package Manager (recommended) or the prebuilt XCFrameworks. Tightened the public API surface across modules with @_spi(AirshipInternal)/internal, and Swift Package targets now use internal imports by default. Marked AirshipUtils @_spi(AirshipInternal) and removed its unused public helper methods. Removed the background-fetch app-integration method AppIntegration.application(_:performFetchWithCompletionHandler:) and its UAAppIntegration Objective-C equivalent. On-Device AI Added on-device AI support for three usages: in-app message suppression, embedded view selection, and Scene text-input inference. Added an optional AirshipFoundationModels module that wires a built-in on-device model into those usages. Added the AirshipFeature.onDeviceAI privacy manager feature gating on-device AI. Scenes Split the Scene rendering engine out of AirshipCore into new AirshipSceneRenderer and AirshipScenes modules. Embedded views and custom views now require import AirshipScenes. Added six AirshipPermission cases for the Composer’s system-permission action. Fixed a broad set of Scene layout and sizing issues. Verify your live Scenes after upgrading. Fixed in-app message banners clipping or oscillating in width on rotation. Fixed background media cropping instead of filling behind an auto-height layout. Fixed a label’s end icon pulling its [icon, text, icon] group off-center. Fixed Scene text line height to consistently use the scaled-font-size approximation. Fixed a Pager crash when a page list emptied out or restored state drifted from it. Embedded Views Added AirshipEmbeddedCarousel, a carousel container for embedded content. Ordered AirshipEmbeddedViewStyleConfiguration.pending by selection preference. Added filterInstances, a closure to exclude specific pending instances from selection. Let .instance selection take an ordered list of instance IDs instead of just one. Fixed embedded views not reacting to a changed embeddedID or selection. Message Center Removed MessageCenterUser, MessageCenterInbox.user, and MessageCenterNativeBridgeExtension from the public API, along with their Objective-C equivalents. Use the provided MessageCenterMessageView/MessageCenterMessageContentView UI instead. Preference Center Marked ChannelTextField, ErrorLabel, and AddChannelState internal. Feature Flags Changed FeatureFlagManager.featureFlagStatusUpdates to emit FeatureFlagUpdateStatus instead of any Sendable. Other Fixes Fixed AirshipPrivacyManager.enableFeatures/disableFeatures permanently baking a server-side feature disable into local storage. Fixed a crash handling malformed native-bridge run-action-cb URLs. Fixed a regex range mismatch that could misparse non-ASCII audience matches, device tokens, or URL allow-list patterns. Fixed the Core Data store’s -wal and -shm files being left behind when the store file is deleted.
iOS 21.0.0-beta.3
Sep 10, 2026Third beta of the 21.0.0 major release. This release reworks on-device AI’s retry policy and adds an Embedded Carousel view along with a set of Scene rendering fixes. See the Migration Guide for details.
