Placenote SDK 1.6.8 Release Announcement
An important announcement for Unity developers.
We’re thrilled to announce that the next version of Placenote (SDK 1.6.8) is now live and ready to download! If you are a Unity developer, you will need to make a few changes to your pre-existing code to ensure it is compatible with the new SDK.
What’s new in Placenote 1.6.8?
The two most important updates in the latest Placenote are:
- SDK interface update for Unity (Breaking Change Alert)
- Faster mapping update for iPhone 7+ and iPhone 8+
- Fixed an issue with a missing GetMetaData function in Swift SDK
SDK Interface Update (Breaking Change Alert)
We simplified the SDK interface so that you don’t need to handle the “sendFrame” and “initARFrameBuffer” functions in your code anymore. Instead we do it within LibPlacenote. The new documentation reflects this change. However, this means if you update to 1.6.8 and you’ve already built your main controller with a previous version of Placenote, it will cause runtime problems. We have documented a process to update your code to support SDK 1.6.8 here.
If you have any issues with it, please do let us know on slack.
Faster mapping on iPhone 7+ and 8+
With the iOS 12 update you may have experienced slightly slower performance on iPhone 7+ and 8+ devices. This update will resolve any issues you might have noticed.
Fixed missing getMetaData in Swift SDK
Thanks to feedback from our developer community we found an issue with the Swift SDK. It was missing the getMetaData() function that allows you to download asset data for an individual map. This issue is now resolved in the latest release. We really appreciate your feedback!
