Version: 9.1.0

Migrating to THEOplayer iOS/tvOS SDK 9.x

This article will guide you through updating from THEOplayer iOS/tvOS SDK version 9 (from version 8), and the changes needed in your code.

Update THEOplayer​

Update THEOplayer iOS/tvOS SDK to version 9 in your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'THEOplayerSDK-core', '~> 9'
end

If you're using one of our connectors, make sure to update them to the latest version too to ensure proper support for THEOplayer version 9.

Objective-C support has been removed​

In version 9, the THEOplayer API is no longer available through Objective-C. It was deprecated since version 8.

When it was introduced, the goal of the Objective-C APIs was to provide bindings to bridge our native SDK to React Native. Over time, that became unneeded as React Native became capable to interact directly with Swift APIs.

API changes to THEOplayerSDK​

Removing IntegrationType in favor of using IntegrationKind:

let theoLiveIntegration = THEOliveIntegrationFactory.createIntegration()

- if theoLiveIntegration.type == .THEOlive {
+ if theoLiveIntegration.kind == .THEOlive {
   // ...
}

Removing MillicastSource initializer in favor of another one whose arguments are more clearly named:

  let source: MillicastSource = .init(
-     streamName: "streamName",
+     src: "streamName",
-     accountID: "accountID",
+     streamAccountId: "accountID",
-     token: token,
+     subscriberToken: token,
      connectOptions: clientOptions
  )

Replacing the TypedSource initialize which takes a URL object as a src with one that takes a URL String instead:

- var builder = URLComponents()
- builder.scheme = "scheme"
- builder.host = "host"
- builder.path = "/path"
- let src: TypedSource = .init(src: builder.url!)
+ let src: TypedSource = .init(src: "scheme://host/path")

TextTrackCue's uid is converted to an Int from a Double. Its startTime and endTime properties have become non-null Doubles

The dai property is removed from the Ads object by default, and will only be available as an extension to the object when adding the GoogleIMAIntegration.
