What's New in Mobile SDK 13.1

Mobile SDK 13.1 is a minor release that features client-side support for WebSockets, URLRequest support on iOS, Android 16 support, updates to QR code login, and enhancements for internal apps around actionable notifications and login with the Salesforce welcome domain.

In interim releases, we often deprecate items in native libraries for removal in an upcoming major release. Be sure to check your compiler logs for deprecation warnings so that you can address any changes before they go into effect.

A regression in Mobile SDK for Android 13.1 prevents push notifications from being delivered to Experience Cloud users. The issue is caused by a failed device registration process that occurs after a user authenticates to an Experience Cloud site.

  • Impact: Users on Experience Cloud sites will not receive push notifications.
  • Resolution: A permanent fix is in progress. Until it's released, we recommend one of the following options:
    • Apply a patch: If you plan to upgrade to version 13.1, apply the targeted fix available on our GitHub repo.
    • Delay the upgrade: If your application uses push notifications for Experience Cloud users, do not upgrade to version 13.1 until the release containing the permanent fix is available.

These changes apply to more than one platform.

We added support for WebSockets, a bidirectional TCP connection that works with our authentication features and products like Agentforce Speech Foundation. See Configure WebSockets.

We fixed a bug that caused QR code login to fail when web server flow was disabled or a native browser was configured. We also implemented a check to ensure the consumer key in the QR code matches the one configured in the app.

Internal apps can now log in with welcome.salesforce.com. The welcome login domain is not yet available to external apps.

Our REST client now supports direct network calls with URLRequest, which reduces the need for SFRestRequest conversions. Existing SFRestRequest interfaces are still fully supported.
