Marketing Cloud Personalization Android SDK Release Notes

Released June 2023

• OS updates:

  • EvergageActivity needs to declare android:exported in the manifest

  • Official Google/Android nullability annotations have transitioned from the older com.android.support:support-annotations to the latest androidx.annotation:annotation. You may find that those annotation libraries declare using a specific Kotlin version, which may collide with other Kotlin versions declared by other dependencies in your app. One way to resolve this is to choose a Kotlin version to consistently use everywhere:

• Push notification updates:

  • User consent should be obtained before calling start
  • Additional details in globalContext
