Release Notes

We are pleased to announce the availability of version 4.9.4.0 (Lite Edition) of the new HERE SDK for iOS.

This is a stable release. We are constantly working on new features, stabilizing APIs, improving our KPIs, and evaluating your feedback.

Changes

This section documents major changes to this release that may require you to update your applications.

Version 4.9.4.0

New Features

  • Routing: Added support for bicycles. Now it is possible to create bicycle routes online with the RoutingEngine using BicycleOptions. Added also TransportMode.bicycle.
  • Routing: Added optional field nameHint to Waypoint. For cases when there are multiple places at the same geographic coordinate, this hint can help the RoutingEngine to find the expected place. For example, "North" can be set to differentiate between interstates "I66 North" and "I66 South".
  • Routing: It's now possible to set TaxiOptions.allowDriveThroughTaxiRoads. It allows to calculate routes that make use of roads and lanes that are reserved for taxis.

Known Issues

  • The jamFactor indicating TrafficSpeed is currently calculated linear without taking road types and other parameters into account.
  • An inner city Route for trucks carrying dangerous goods may not result in an error message.
  • When using Xcode 13 you may get a warning that certain files in heresdk.swiftmodule are either malformed or generated by a different Swift version. It is safe to ignore this warning. The reason for this warning is that the HERE SDK is compiled with Xcode 12.4.
  • Truck routes that are imported via importRoute() may be result in a RoutingError.NoRouteFound error as certain truck restrictions may be violated along the road. This is incorrect and instead the resulting route should contain the violated restrictions as part of the route's SectionNotice.

  • An inner city Route for trucks carrying dangerous goods may not result in an error message.

Version 4.7.7.0

Highlights

  • Note: The existing delegate properties for the Gestures class will be changed to weak references with the upcoming HERE SDK v4.9.0 release. After this change, it is no longer necessary to manually set delegates to nil to break the retain cycle between conforming objects and their respective delegate variables.

New Features

  • Search: Added politicalView member to Place class. The optional value can be checked if it is matching the one that was set beforehand via SDKOptions.

API Changes

  • Routing: Updated the API for the returnToRoute and refreshRoute feature for RoutingEngine:
    • Changed the parameter order of RoutingInterface.returnToRoute(): The startingPoint parameter is now the second parameter, not the third parameter. The feature is still in beta.
    • Added a startingPoint parameter to the RoutingEngine.refreshRoute() method. In return, deleted RefreshRouteOptions.updateStartingPoint(). The feature is still in beta.
    • Deleted the ReturnToRouteEngine. Use the newly introduced RoutingInterface.returnToRoute() method instead.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: A Maneuver.polyline list of GeoCoordinates has only one element for the last maneuver of a route.

Known Issues

  • The jamFactor indicating TrafficSpeed is currently calculated linear without taking road types and other parameters into account.
  • An inner city Route for trucks carrying dangerous goods may not result in an error message.

Version 4.7.6.0

Highlights

  • Note: The existing delegate properties for the Gestures class will be changed to weak references with the upcoming HERE SDK v4.9.0 release. After this change, it is no longer necessary to manually set delegates to nil to break the retain cycle between conforming objects and their respective delegate variables.

Known Issues

  • A Maneuver.polyline list of GeoCoordinates has only one element for the last maneuver of a route.
  • The jamFactor indicating TrafficSpeed is currently calculated linear without taking road types and other parameters into account.
  • An inner city Route for trucks carrying dangerous goods may not result in an error message.

Version 4.7.5.0

New Features

  • Routing: Added avoidance options for pedestrians with PedestrianOptions.avoidanceOptions.
  • Search: Added support to search along longer route polylines with a GeoCorridor. Either increase halfWidthInMeters when set via constructor or do not set it - by using the GeoCorridor constructor that only allows to set the GeoPolyline. The parameter radiusInMeters has been deprecated: Please only use halfWidthInMeters as constructor parameter to specify the thickness of the route corridor. When increasing halfWidthInMeters then a greater simplification of the polyline shape can be achieved resulting in a longer route that can be searched along. On the downside the results are less accurate and can lie farther away from the route. When halfWidthInMeters is not set, a suitable value is set internally based on "best guess".

Known Issues

  • A Maneuver.polyline list of GeoCoordinates has only one element for the last maneuver of a route.
  • The jamFactor indicating TrafficSpeed is currently calculated linear without taking road types and other parameters into account.
  • An inner city Route for trucks carrying dangerous goods may not result in an error message.

API Changes

  • Custom map layers: Extended the validation for custom raster layer names raster to include hyphens and underscores. Now, only alphanumeric characters like \[a-zA-Z0-9\], hyphens and underscores are allowed.
  • Map cache: Deprecated the MapViewLite.tilesCacheSize property, because it returned a UInt32 value, which was insufficient for the internal representation of the tiles cache size. Use the newly introduced MapViewLite.tilesCacheSizeInBytes instead, which returns Int64.
  • Routing: Deprecated FarePrice.unit, use the newly introduced FarePrice.validityPeriodInSeconds property instead.
  • Routing: Deprecated the unsupported Agency.icon property. This property is no longer supported and will be removed with HERE SDK release v4.10.0.

Known Issues

  • A Maneuver.polyline list of GeoCoordinates has only one element for the last maneuver of a route.

For example, when a route should avoid tunnels, but the only possible route needs to pass a tunnel, the Route contains a notice that the requested avoidance of tunnels was violated. Therefore, it is recommended to always check a calculated Route for possible violations. The NoticeCode is part of a Notice object. A list of possible Notice objects can be accessed per Section of a Route. The list will be empty, when no violation occurred.
  • Added search for a CategoryQuery within a GeoCircle or GeoBox. Extended the existing CategoryQuery constructors to accept GeoCircle or GeoBox. Note that this feature is currently in BETA state.

New Features

  • Added new read-only property to MapPolyline with geometry: GeoPolyline.

API Changes

  • Cache path to store map data is now unique per access key ID (which is unique per customer). The HERE SDK automatically appends the current version of the cache and the access key ID. If you want to keep existing cache data, it may be required to copy it from <cache-root> to <cache-root>/v1/<access-key-id>, as the current version of the cache is "v1".
  • Deprecated SDKNativeEngine.setAccessKey(access_key_id, access_key_secret). Use SDKNativeEngine.setAccessKeySecret(access_key_secret) instead, in combination with setting the access key ID via SDKOptions when constructing a new SDKNativeEngine.
  • Deprecated LocationUpdateDelegate. Use the new LocationDelegate instead.

      • SearchEngine.search(in: GeoBox, categoryList: [CategoryId], callback: SearchCallback) to SearchEngine.search(in: GeoBox, categoryList: [CategoryId], completion: SearchCallback).
      • SearchEngine.search(in: GeoCircle, categoryList: [CategoryId], options: SearchOptions, callback: SearchCallback) to SearchEngine.search(in: GeoCircle, categoryList: [CategoryId], options: SearchOptions, completion: SearchCallback).
      • SearchEngine.search(in: GeoCircle, categoryList: [CategoryId], callback: SearchCallback) to SearchEngine.search(in: GeoCircle, categoryList: [CategoryId], completion: SearchCallback).
    • TrafficeEngine:
      • TrafficeEngine.queryForIncidents(in : GeoBox, options: IncidentQueryOptions, callback: QueryForIncidentsCallback) to TrafficeEngine.queryForIncidents(in : GeoBox, options: IncidentQueryOptions, completion: QueryForIncidentsCallback).
  • Removed trafficMode option from RouteOptions. Traffic delay is now enabled by default.
  • Renamed Route.shape to Route.polyline.
  • Renamed RouteLeg.shape to RouteLeg.polyline.
  • Renamed Maneuver.shape to Maneuver.polyline.
  • Changed type for GeocodingOptions.maxItems from UInt32 to Int32.
  • Changed the maximum possible number of route alternatives for the method RouteOptions.alternatives from 9 to 6.
  • Changed the draw order behavior for MapPolylines, MapCircles and MapPolygons. The draw order is now limited by 1000 to avoid conflicts with regular map data like labels or building footprints. The draw order should be mainly used to adjust the stack order of objects of the same type.
  • Renamed WaypointType.stopOver to WaypointType.stopover.
  • Renamed Route.travelTimeInSeconds to Route.durationInSeconds and changed the returned type from Int32 to Int64. Same for RouteLeg.
  • Removed Route.baseTimeInSeconds and Route.trafficTimeInSeconds. Same for RouteLeg. Use Route.trafficDelayInSeconds instead.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed issue with map data not being localized. See the new fields added to MapSceneConfig above to set a LanguageCode.
  • Fixed issue with kinetic panning triggered unnecessarily on the iOS emulator. Now, kinetic panning is triggered only when the mouse button is released at the end of the gesture.
  • Fixed issue with error handling when loading custom map styles. Now, loading a map returns an invalid scene error if the YAML file passed does not exist and is incorrect or has no protocol specified.
  • Fixed issue with traffic flow missing at a specific zoom level. Now, traffic flow is displayed at all zoom levels.

Version 4.1.5.0

New Features

  • Added kinetic panning to the map ('slippy map'). The map will now smoothly animate along the last direction after a user stops panning. It can be disabled together with the pan gesture.
  • PanGestureHandler.onPan() is now called with GestureState.cancel for the first touch after GestureState.end to stop any kinetic movement that is still in progress.
  • Added Maneuver.roadNumber and Maneuver.nextRoadNumber to get the current road number and the next road number.
  • Added lambda notation / closure support when searching for SearchCategory.

API Changes

  • Removed option notImplementedYet from EngineInstantiationErrorCode enum.
  • Renamed EngineInstantiationErrorCode enum to InstantiationErrorCode.
  • Renamed EngineInstantiationError to InstantiationError.
  • Renamed Location.timestampInMilliseconds to Location.timestamp.
  • Changed type Location.timestamp from Long to Date.
  • Removed field MapMatchedWaypoint.mapMatchedRoadName.
  • Changed CalculateRouteCallback type from protocol to typealias.
  • Route options moved to RoutingEngine as nested types:
    • CarOptions moved to RoutingEngine.CarOptions.
    • BicycleOptions moved to RoutingEngine.BicycleOptions.
    • PedestrianOptions moved to RoutingEngine.PedestrianOptions.
    • TruckOptions moved to RoutingEngine.TruckOptions.
    • TruckSpecifications moved to RoutingEngine.TruckSpecifications.
  • Changed CalculateRouteCallback type from protocol to a typealias function.
  • Removed MapMatchedWaypoint.mapMatchedRoadName.

Known Issues

  • Map data may not be localized based on the device's language.

Resolved Issues

  • Optimized the HERE SDK for publishing to Apple's App Store.

Version 4.1.4.0

Highlights

  • Xcode 11.2.1 and Swift 5.1.2 are now supported as minimum requirement.
  • Added new tutorials to the Developer's Guide that show how to implement smooth Move-To-XY animations and animated map gestures for zoom in/out and kinetic panning.

New Features

  • Added Maneuver.roadName and Maneuver.nextRoadName to get the current road name and the next road name.
  • Added the method CameraLimits.getMaxTiltForZoomLevel() for checking the tilt limit at a specific zoom level. The maximum tilt depends on the current zoom level; setting a new zoom level will potentially change the tilt angle.

API Changes

  • Renamed MapScene to MapLiteScene.
  • Renamed Instruction to Maneuver.
  • Renamed RouteTextOptions.languages to RouteTextOptions.language as it accepts not more than one language.
  • Moved Route.transportMode to RouteLeg.transportMode.
  • Moved LoadSceneCallback to MapLiteScene. The callback changed from a protocol to a typealias.
  • Renamed SceneError to ErrorCode and moved it to MapLiteScene.
  • Renamed CameraLimitsErrorCode to ErrorCode and moved it to CameraLimits.
  • Renamed the following map objects:
    • MapPolygon to MapLitePolygon.
    • MapPolyline to MapLitePolyline.
    • MapCircle to MapLiteCircle.
    • MapMarker to MapLiteMarker.
  • Removed the constant CameraLimits.maxTilt.

Known Issues

  • Map data may not be localized based on the device's language.

Version 4.1.3.0

This release is mainly focused on stabilization of existing features, bug fixes and overall performance improvements.

Known Issues

  • Swift 5.1 is not yet supported.
  • Map data may not be localized based on the device's language.

Resolved Issues

  • The draw order for raster tile layers now works relatively to other raster tile layers.
  • Fixed outlines for map circles.

Version 4.1.2.0

New Features

  • The SearchEngine can now be used to search for categories like 'restaurants' by setting a list of CategoryId values.

API Changes

  • Removed the field SearchResult.href.
  • Renamed the members:
    • AutosuggestResult.boundingRect to AutosuggestResult.geoBox.
    • GeocodingResult.boundingRect to GeocodingResult.geoBox.
    • SearchResult.boundingBox to SearchResult.geoBox.
  • Renamed the members:
    • AutosuggestResult.geoCoordinates to AutosuggestResult.coordinates.
    • GeocodingResult.geoCoordinates to GeocodingResult.coordinates.

Known Issues

  • Swift 5.1 is not yet supported.

Version 4.1.1.0

New Features

  • SearchEngine can now be used to search within a bounding rect for categories by setting a list of CategoryId values.
  • AutosuggestEngine:
    • Added the option to search within a GeoCircle.
    • Added the possibility to request specific types (place, address and/or query) via AutosuggestResultType that can be set for the AutosuggestOptions.
    • Added TaskHandle as a return value when calling AutosuggestEngine.suggest(...) to cancel an ongoing call.

API Changes

  • Changed SearchOptions to AutosuggestOptions when consumed by AutosuggestEngine.
  • Renamed SearchItemCategory to SearchCategory.
  • Changed type SearchCategory from enum to struct. SearchCategory now contains the following fields:
    • id (String, required): A unique category identifier. This contains the previous enum values as String.
    • iconLink (String, optional): A web link to the category icon.
    • localizedName (String, required): A localized name describing the category.
  • Removed Instruction.Direction because this information is already available inside Instruction.action.
  • Renamed GeoBoundingRect to GeoBox.
  • Changed GeoBoundingRect.intersects(geoBoundingRect: GeoBoundingRect) to GeoBox.intersects(geoBox: GeoBox).
  • Changed GeoBoundingRect.contains(geoBoundingRect: GeoBoundingRect) to GeoBox.contains(geoBox: GeoBox).

Known Issues

  • Swift 5.1 is not yet supported.

Version 4.1.0.0

New Features

  • Added bounding box search for auto suggestions.
  • Added an empty MapStyle that, for example, can be used together with opaque custom raster tile layers.

API Changes

  • Renamed PlaceAutosuggestResult to AutosuggestResult.
  • Renamed EngineInstantiationError enumeration to EngineInstantiationErrorCode.
  • Renamed CameraLimitsError enumeration to CameraLimitsErrorCode.
  • Renamed InstantiationError enumeration to InstantiationErrorCode.
  • Unified the error type for SearchEngine, AutosuggestEngine, GeocodingEngine and ReverseGeocodingEngine to be of type SearchError.
  • MapScene.setLayerState is executed immediately now, it no longer takes a callback as an argument, but instead throws an error exception.

Known Issues

  • Swift 5.1 is not yet supported.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Map polylines may disappear at certain zoom levels when zooming.
  • Fixed: Parts of the horizontal and vertical lines of a polygon outline may not be drawn perfectly under certain conditions.

Deprecated

  • The methods CameraLimits.setMinBearing(), CameraLimits.setMaxBearing(), CameraLimits.getMinBearing() and CameraLimits.getMaxBearing() are deprecated. Use the newly introduced class AngleRange instead.
