0.8.4
patchFebruary 13 2024
Portals for Android 0.8.4 introduces support for differential live updates. This feature allows for updating only the changed files in a web asset bundle, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transferred to the device. This should drastically reduce the amount of data used by device to get new versions of the web assets from Appflow.
The feature is enabled by default. If you would like to opt out or are interested in learning more please refer to the upgrade guide.
To upgrade from the previous release please reference the UPGRADE GUIDE.

Pub/Sub system overhaul
This update simplifies the Android pub/sub system for Ionic Portals, addressing the issue of Plugin subscriptions not being properly disposed when a Portal is dismissed. More details on usage can be found here. Key improvements include:
-
Utilizing Capacitor for Event Handling: We now use Capacitor for event publishing, simplifying unsubscribing with provided handles, eliminating the need for arbitrary integers.
-
Introducing PortalsPubSub Class: A new PortalsPubSub class allows scoping events to specific portals, enhancing system organization.
Portals now uses Capacitor 5
This release also moves Portals to Capacitor 5.
Web Vitals moved to a Plugin
