QUESTION: *Action required* Upgrade Branch Android SDK

[razam217]

I received an email from branch.io i.e. ** Action required Upgrade Branch Android SDK**.
Currently I'm using v2.5.17 of this plugin. Do I still need to update the plugin to most recent version which is 2.6.12?

Hello,

I understand how this email can be confusing. It was meant for our Android SDK users and not our Cordova SDK users.

For the Branch Cordova SDK, I would recommend updating to the latest version 2.6.12. This will pull in the correct underlying Android SDK which the email is referring to. You can use this guide to update your Cordova Branch SDK.

I apologize for this inconvenience.

Thanks,

Thanks @ethanneff ...

@ethanneff I'm trying to update branch-cordova-sdk form v2.5.0 to 2.6.14.
But deep linking is not working on IOS, and in XCode, I'm seeing the following error:
class BranchSDK (pluginName: BranchSDK) does not exist.

Can you please suggest me, how to fix it?

Node v6.9.5
Cordova v6.1.1
XCode 9.0

@razam217 This is a strange bug that has popped up before, but I am still not too sure why. I have a feeling it could be related to how you are installing the Branch SDK (#356 (comment)), or maybe it is an error on the plugin install where all the resources are not being downloaded.

Can you try using this guide to update your Branch Cordova SDK? You want to make sure you clear the old SDK before installing the new SDK.

Thanks,

@ethanneff I've uninstalled and reinstalled branch-cordova-sdk according to the guide. Everything works fine in Android. But in xcode it was not adding branch-sdk classes to the plugins directory in xcode. I manually added those classes, and it started working. But I think that is not good, cordova build ios should do that for me.

Thanks,

@razam217 I am glad you got it working. It is odd the classes are not automatically being added to your project. They should be injected from the SDK (https://github.com/BranchMetrics/cordova-ionic-phonegap-branch-deep-linking/blob/master/plugin.xml#L85). I will investigate this today to see if I can reproduce this issue on my end.
