    Updated Rave iOS ScenePack to version v4.5.0.

  • User Account Creation via SUSI Removed
    The ability to create a new user account through SUSI has been removed.

  • Default Timestamp CDN url in the SDK is changed to support https

    • Old url: http://cdn-f2p.bigfishgames.com
    • New url: https://cdn-f2p.bigfishgames.com

Deprecations​

Remove any usage of:

  • BigFishSettings.General.NewsletterName
  • presentNewsletterSignup
  • presentNewsletterSignupWithOrigin
Newsletter Opt-In Flow

  • The newsletter opt-in options have been updated Rave to provide more flexibility.

  • New APIs has been introduced through the BFGNewsletter class. These APIs allow games to:

    • Check if the user has already been asked to opt in to the newsletter
    • Show the newsletter opt-in dialog

  • It is the responsibility of game teams to be sure the user shared a valid email before showing the newsletter dialog.

  • It is the responsibility of game teams to handle the newsletter sign-up (e.g., using LeanPlum to register the user).

Note:
Since this feature is new, getNewsletterConsent will return Unknown for all users, even those who may have previously accepted or declined a newsletter prompt in your own implementation. It is up to the game team to find the best solution.

To get the current newsletter consent state, call:

	NewsletterConsentData *newsletterConsentData = [bfgNewsLetter getNewsletterConsent]

NewsletterConsentData structure


  @property (nonatomic, assign) NewsletterConsentStatus status; // Selected newsletter status
  @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *timestamp; // Timestamp of the momente of status change
  
  - (NSDictionary *)toJson {
        ...
        
        return @{
            @"status": statusString,
            @"timestamp": self.timestamp ?: @"" //"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"
        };
    }
    
  + (nullable instancetype)fromJsonString:(NSString *)jsonString {
        ...
    
        return [[self alloc] initWithStatus:status timestamp:timestamp];
    }
  typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, NewsletterConsentStatus) {
      NewsletterConsentStatusUnknown = 0,
      NewsletterConsentStatusConsented = 1,
      NewsletterConsentStatusDenied = 2
  };

Note:
If the user closes the dialog—either by clicking the "X" button or selecting "No, thanks"—the consent status will be set to Denied.

Upgrading to 8.10.2

  • BigFishScenePack Update

    Update BigFishScenePack.xcframework and BigFishScenePack.bundle

  • Showing the Newsletter Dialog

There are two ways to show the newsletter consent screen:

  1. Automatically after login:
    If the user is logged out, the dialog will be shown after a successful login—provided that the users have shared their email. Only occurs for Facebook and Apple auth.

  2. Manually by the game team:
    At any time (after initialization), the game team may trigger the dialog by calling:

    [bfgNewsLetter setResultCallback:^(BOOL optedIn) {
        NSString *optedInString = optedIn ? @"true" : @"false";
        NSLog(@"Newsletter flow is completed with optedIn: %@", optedInString);
    }];

    [bfgNewsLetter showNewsletterConsentScreen];

8.10.1 (July 17, 2025)​

  • BigFishScenePack is reverted to previous version to include Rave Newsletter and SUSI Signup flows.
info

  • The new Newsletter API introduced on 8.10.0 is not intended for use at this time. We recommend avoiding its use until further notice, as it may be updated or removed in a future release.

Upgrading to 8.10.1

BigFishScenePack Reversion

Update BigFishScenePack.xcframework and BigFishScenePack.bundle

8.10.0 (July 14, 2025)​

  • Newsletter opt-in flow is now supported by BFGSDK

Upgrading to 8.10.0

Newsletter opt-in flow
warning

This flow is not intended for use at this time. We recommend avoiding its use until further notice, as it may be updated or removed in a future release.

  • The newsletter opt-in options has been removed from Rave, as it has been deprecated and not working for a long time.

  • A new set of newsletter APIs has been added via the new bfgNewsletter class. These APIs can be used to get whether the user has already been asked if they want to sign up for the newsletter, and then set whether the user accepted or declined the newsletter. Signing up for the newsletter and displaying a newsletter opt-in dialog is now the responsibility of game teams (for example, using LeanPlum to sign the user up for newsletters).

NOTE: Because this feature is new, getNewsletterConsent will return Unknown for all users, even if they have accepted or declined your newsletter implementation in the past.

warning

Deprecations

  • Remove any usage of BigFishSettings.General.NewsletterName setting.
  • Remove any usage of presentNewsletterSignup and presentNewsletterSignupWithOrigin APIs.

Implementation Notes

The definition of enum for NewsletterConsentStatus:

typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, NewsletterConsentStatus) {
    NewsletterConsentStatusUnknown = 0,
    NewsletterConsentStatusConsented = 1,
    NewsletterConsentStatusDenied = 2
};

To set newsletter consent, please call this function with the appropriate parameter:

NewsletterConsentStatus status = NewsletterConsentStatusConsented;
BOOL success = [bfgNewsLetter saveNewsletterConsent:status];

To get newsletter consent status, please call this function:

NewsletterConsentStatus status = [bfgNewsLetter getNewsletterConsent];

  • Updated Deployment Target and Minimum iOS to v12.
  • Sample App: Added fatal and non-fatal crash buttons as examples for testing Crashlytics crash events.
  • Removed deprecation warnings from bfgGameReporting.logCustomEvent() methods. These methods are still the preferred way of sending custom events.

Upgrading to v8.5.0

Update Firebase

Add Frameworks/ThirdParty/Firebase/Firebase.h and all libraries in the Firebase directory to your application bundle when linking bfg_iOS_Crashlytics as static dependencies.

  • Most games should omit FirebaseAnalyticsSwift and use FirebaseAnalytics instead. FirebaseAnalyticsSwift should be used for SwiftUI projects.

Linking these libraries in the app bundle is a new requirement as of this release, as they were previously encapsulated in bfg_iOS_Crashlytics.xcframework. This change is required due to the changes in Apple's build tools.

If your game doesn’t already contain Swift files, add an empty Swift file to your project and allow Xcode to generate a Bridging Header, as many of these new libraries contain Swift.

If your game uses SwiftUI views, link FirebaseAnalyticsSwift.xcframework along with the other Firebase xcframeworks.

Support for iOS v12
info

These upgrade steps are not needed if your minimum iOS is v13 or higher.

An additional framework (SwiftUI) is required to support iOS v12, regardless of whether or not your app uses Swift UI views. To weakly link the SwiftUI framework:

  1. In the Xcode Project Navigator, select your project file (blue Xcode icon) at the topmost of the tree.
  2. In the editor that opens, ensure your app target is selected or the target you are using for SwiftUI.
  3. Select the Build Phases tab.
  4. Open the Link Binary With Libraries section.
  5. Click the + button under the list that appears.
  6. Type "SwiftUI" into the search field of the popup sheet.
  7. Select SwiftUI.framework and click Add.
  8. On the new row in the table, click the Required popup button in the last column.
  9. Change the value to "Optional".

  • Fixed an issue causing the UI to hang when a payment transaction was canceled twice.

7.6.0 (Feb 28, 2022)​

  • Promoted In-App Purchases: Added two new methods. Call [bfgPurchase hasDeferredPayments] to determine if there are promoted in-app purchases waiting to be processed. Call [bfgPurchase processDeferredPayments] to add promoted in-app purchases into the payment flow.
  • Updated AppsFlyer library to v6.4.2 in order to stay up to date with security fixes.
  • Fixed navbar background color on some devices in dark mode for the Zendesk My Tickets view.
  • Fixed AppsFlyer deferred deep links which were causing a crash when af_dp value was null.

7.5.1 (Jan 4, 2022)​

  • Account Deletion: Added new method [bfgRave requestAccountDeletion]. This method will send a Zendesk support request including the current rave id to Customer Service for processing. One of the following NSNotifications will be received from this method: BFG_RAVE_ACCOUNT_DELETION_REQUEST_SUCCEEDED or BFG_RAVE_ACCOUNT_DELETION_REQUEST_FAILED.

  • Updated the AppsFlyer deep link handler to share the deep_link_value string from AppsFlyer if no af_dp value is set.

7.2.5 (Aug 24, 2021)​

  • Added the newer iOS devices - iPhone 12 variants, iPad Pro 11 and 12.9 inch variants - to the internal list, so they will properly be attributed to Zendesk and MTS events.
  • Minor update to Zendesk integration, fixing a country code.
  • Updated the provisioning profile to use “com.bigfishgames.bfgsdkios_dev”.
  • The routine [bfgRave getAllAuthSources] was added in order to surface how the user is signed in, if they are. The routine returns an array that contains facebook, big_fish, none, and others.

7.2.4 (May 24, 2021)​

  • Facebook SDK updated to v9.2.0
  • Rave SDK updated to v3.9.11
  • AppsFlyer SDK updated to v6.2.6
  • Facebook now allows developers to request the user_friends in Limited Login mode. With this change, games no longer need to change their Facebook permissions based on the ATT selection via the setFacebookReadPermissions method when switching to classic mode.
info

When upgrading from 7.2.1, any users that previously declined ATT will no longer have access to user_friends, even after you upgrade to 7.2.4. In this scenario, games will need to implement logic that will update the permissions and allow access to these users who declined ATT using 7.2.1.

  • Adds the ability to retrieve app-associated Facebook friends, if the user is authenticated through Facebook, using the new asynchronous methods [bfgRave getAppAssociatedFacebookFriends] and [bfgRave getAppAssociatedFacebookFriendsJson] if you need it in JSON format.

7.2.3 (Apr 29, 2021)​

  • Updated [bfgutils attStatus] to return the status for App Tracking Transparency for all iOS 14 versions, including iOS 14.0 to 14.4+. Checking the ATT status on these lower iOS 14 versions is still necessary to properly set the login mode for Facebook, even though the ATT dialog is not displayed on these versions.

7.2.2 (Apr 27, 2021)​

The minimum iOS required version for App Transparency Tracking (ATT) has changed from 14.0+ to 14.5+. This hotfix disables ATT consent calls for iOS 14.0 - 14.4.

Note that limited login mode for Facebook should still be respected for all iOS 14 versions, including 14.0 to 14.4.

7.2.1 (Apr 7, 2021)​

  • Zendesk updated to send iOS 9 users to a non-javascript web portal
  • Zendesk updated to handle sending users to the correct localized Zendesk site, or default to English for non-supported languages, on a game by game basis.
  • Exposed a new API for sending custom events to AppsFlyer (support for SKAdNetwork)
