Android 4.0 release

The latest version of our Android SDK is out, helping you support seamless integrations with both Customer.io and your data to downstream destinations—like your analytics platform, CRM, or data warehouse. This release also adds support for anonymous users.

This latest version of the SDK supports the following new features:

• Anonymous tracking: You can send anonymous events, and we’ll reconcile anonymous activity with your users when you identify them.
• Data Pipelines Support: Sending your mobile data into our customer data platform (CDP) helps you support both Journeys and the rest of your martech stack—analytics, data warehouses, CRMs and more.^*
• Built-in lifecycle events: the SDK now automatically captures events like “Application Installed” and “Application Updated” for you, so you better understand your users’ behaviors in your app.
• New device data: the SDK captures complete device-level context, like your audience’s screen dimensions, device names, and more.

While this release represents a significant change under the hood, we made every effort to limit the impact to your code. Most of the changes you’ll make are to your initialization code, most calls work almost exactly as they did in previous releases.
