SDK 8.0 Migration Guide

This page covers the migration steps from previous versions of the SDK to
version 8.0+.

Suggest Edits

Version 8.0 of the Instabug iOS SDK contains various changes to our APIs. This document contains detailed instructions on how to migrate from previous versions of the SDK to version 8.0+.

To make our APIs more intuitive, more organized and easier to use, we renamed some of them, and restructured them into different classes.

Summary of Changes

In addition to the Instabug class, Instabug now has the following additional classes:

  • IBGBugReporting
  • IBGSurveys
  • IBGFeatureRequests
  • IBGLog

When used for Android, the classes above drop the IBG prefix, to become:

  • BugReporting
  • Surveys
  • FeatureRequests

Each class contains methods and properties of a single product or feature.

🚧

API Deprecations

For APIs that have been moved to other classes or renamed, the old versions in the Instabug class has been marked as deprecated. While those APIs are still functional, they will be completely removed from a future release of the SDK, so please make sure to migrate all Instabug usage to the new APIs at the nearest opportunity.

Deprecated, Renamed and Moved Methods

StartWithToken

Previous Usage

Instabug.StartWithToken("YOUR_APP_TOKEN", IBGInvocationEvent.FloatingButton);
