Surfmeter Mobile Quality SDK Changelog

This is the changelog for the Surfmeter Mobile Quality SDK.

v1.13.0 (2025-09-15)

  • Breaking Change: The Registry class was refactored to be in the qualitytestlib package again, so please change any imports:

    -import com.aveq.registry.Registry;
+import com.aveq.qualitytestlib.Registry;

  • Fix an issue with TimeoutArtifacts class not being present in production builds

v1.12.0 (2025-09-05)

  • Improve handling of older Android SDK versions (24 and 26) for better compatibility. This reintroduces minSdk as Android SDK 24. However, please note that some tests may not work on these versions, due to the lack of support for the built-in WebView by modern websites. Android SDK 29 fixes this completely.

v1.11.2 (2025-09-03)

  • Add a new utility for handling and capturing timeout errors during video quality tests.
  • Improve the handling of Instagram app notifications, specifically for the "Watch this reel in the app" scenario.

v1.11.1 (2025-09-02)

  • Fix an issue with Proguard rules

v1.11.0 (2025-09-02)

  • Breaking Change: Refactor Registry class to use builder pattern. To adapt your code, please change the following imports:

    -import com.aveq.qualitytestlib.Registry;
+import com.aveq.registry.Registry;

    and use the builder:

    -Registry registry = new Registry(this);
+Registry registry = Registry.Builder(this).forSurfmeterQualitySdk().build();

    the remainder of the code should work as before. In some cases, existing registrations may become invalidated. Please re-register your clients.

    We apologize for the inconvenience – the change was necessary to allow for more flexibility in the future.
