Mixpanel v3.0.0 Release Notes

    • 🔧 Major change to configuration necessary for push notifications

    In version 3.0, you will need to add the following receiver to the tag in your AndroidManifest.xml file to receive push notifications using initPushNotification.

      <receiver android:name="com.mixpanel.android.mpmetrics.GCMReceiver"
            android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
      <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
          <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
          <category android:name="YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME" />
      </intent-filter>
  </receiver>

    Be sure to replace "YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME" above with the package name of your project (The value of the "package" attribute in your tag.)

    • Backward incompatible change: Major change to the handling of automatically assigned distinct ids

    In version 3.0, library-assigned distinct ids are randomly generated and stored as needed. If you are upgrading from an older version that used the automatically generated distinct id, and you want to maintain the same distinct id across upgrades, you can generate it with the following code:

      String androidId = Settings.Secure.getString(mContext.getContentResolver(), Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID);
  String oldStyleId = Build.PRODUCT + '_' + androidId;
  mMixpanel.identify(oldStyleId);
    • Stop using version in artifact name

    New versions of the Mixpanel library are named "MixpanelAPI.jar", rather than "MixpanelAPI_vXXX.jar".
