Migrating from SDK 2 to SDK 3

📘

Note

This guide is intended for Taboola SDK and not for Taboola's React-Native or Flutter plugins

Introduction

In order to streamline the integration, most of the methods and events from SDK 2 have been updated or replaced. As such, when migrating from SDK 2 to SDK 3, treat it as a new integration.

Placement codes used for SDK 2 can be used with SDK 3 and no new codes are required for the upgrade.

Migration guidelines for Android and iOS are provided below.

Migration Guidelines for Android SDK

🚧

Treat SDK 3 as a new integration.
It is not sufficient to update the .gradle file only.

1. Update build.gradle to use the latest SDK 3 version (<<androidSDKVersion>>).

   For detailed instructions, see:

   • Android - Classic > First Steps
   • Android - Web > First Steps

2. From within Android Studio, select: File > Sync Project With Gradle Files.

3. Remove (or comment) out all Taboola SDK 2 code: init methods, setters, listeners, XML files, etc.

4. From within Android Studio, select: Build > Clean Project.

5. Build the project and verify it compiles correctly, with the newly removed SDK 2 code.

   Compilation errors?

   From within Android Studio, select: File > Invalidate Caches/Restart

6. Implement the SDK 3 integration - see:

   • Android - Classic > Basic Integration
   • Android - Web > Basic Integration

Migration Guidelines for iOS SDK

🚧

Treat SDK 3 as a new integration.
It is not sufficient to update the pod file only.

1. Edit your pod file to use the latest SDK 3 version (<<iosSDKVersion>>).

   For detailed instructions, see:

   • iOS - Classic > First Steps
   • iOS - Web > First Steps

2. Run pod install.

3. Remove (or comment) out all Taboola SDK 2 code: init methods, setters, delegates, Storyboard elements, etc.

4. From within Xcode, select: Product > Clean Build Folder.

5. Build the project and verify it compiles correctly (with the removed SDK 2 code).

   Compilation errors?

   In the project root directory:

   • Run rm -rf Pods to remove all pod files.
   • Run pod install to install the SDK 3 pods.

6. Implement the SDK 3 integration - see:

   • iOS - Classic > Basic Integration
   • iOS - Web > Basic Integration
