• [Improvement] Update PLCrashReporter to include privacy manifest.
• [Improvement] Increase the maximum report size to 1MB.

---

Version 1.11.1

• [Improvement] Disable treating warnings as errors in code to avoid blockers when new Xcode warnings are introduced.

---

Version 1.10.1

• [Improvement] Specified minimum cocoapods version in podspec to 1.10.0
• [Improvement] Mark PLCrashReporter.crashReportPath method as public.

---

Version 1.10.0

• [Fix] Fix error Undefined symbols for architecture arm64 while building PLCrashReporter for simulator on Xcode 12.4 and higher.
• [Fix] Fix Cycle in dependencies error happening when building project from sources multiple times.
• [Feature] Distribute XCFramework via Cocoapods and Carthage. The XCFramework will contain static libs only.
• [Fix] Include plcrashutil in all release archives

---

Version 1.9.0

• [Fix] Fix double-quoted warnings in Xcode 12.
• [Fix] Fix memory leak during stack trace unwinding.
• [Feature] Add an API to customize data path.

---

Version 1.8.1

• Re-build Apple Silicon binaries with Xcode 12.2 Release Candidate to be able to submit the applications that use the framework as a binary to the App Store.

---

Version 1.8.0

• Drop support of old versions of iOS and macOS. The minimal version is iOS 9 and macOS 10.9 now.
• Add Apple Silicon support. Note that arm64 for iOS and tvOS simulators is available only in xcframework or SwiftPM.
• Support saving custom data in crash report, see PLCrashReporter.customData property.
• Fix exported symbols list for applying PLCRASHREPORTER_PREFIX prefix.
• Fix Xcode 12 compatibility if the framework is used from sources.
• Fix getting the subtype of device architecture on iOS 14.
• Fix crash on collecting register values on arm64e devices with iOS 14.

---

Version 1.7.2

• Fix building on Xcode 12 beta.
• Use memory mapping to reduce live reports memory pressure.
• Remove "CrashReporter Key: TODO" from text report output.
• Add [PLCrashReporter] prefix for all log messages.

---

Version 1.7.1

• Fix crash on old operating systems: macOS 10.11, iOS 9 and tvOS 9 (and older).
• Fix duplicate symbols in applications with -all_load linker flag.
• Fix exporting PLCrashReporter along with an application into .xcarchive.
• Fix collecting stacktraces on arm64e devices in some cases.

---

Version 1.7.0

• Drop support old versions of Xcode. The minimal version is Xcode 11 now.
• Support Mac Catalyst.
• Distribute .xcframework archive alongside with the other options.
• Improve reliability of saving crash reports in case of memory corruption.
• Fix symbolication issues with new Objective-C runtime version.
• Add workaround for SwiftPM on Xcode 11.1 bug (SWIFT_PACKAGE is not defined) that prevents library usage on macOS.

---

Version 1.6.0

• Support integration via Carthage.
• Support integration via Swift Package Manager. Please note that this way has some limitations:
  • macOS 64-bit mach_* APIs is not available here.
  • protobuf-c symbols are not prefixed, so it can cause conflicts with other libraries.
  • Additional architectures like arm64e are not built explicitly.
• Migrate to Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).
• Embed required protoc-c sources instead of using submodule. No more additional steps on cloning the repo.
• Store sources generated from *.proto files to drop protobuf-c compiler requirement for building the library. It's required only for contributors now.
• Enable generating debug symbols for static libraries. Previously it was included only to macOS framework.
• Fix framework targets type issue that prevents use the library as a project dependency (instead of binary distribution) in Xcode 11.
• Fix implicit casting warnings.

---

Version 1.5.1

• Fix support for Xcode 10.

---

Version 1.5.0

• Drop support old versions of Xcode and iOS. The minimal versions are Xcode 10 and iOS 8 now.
• Remove UIKit dependency on iOS.
• Fix arm64e crash report text formatting.
• Fix possible crash plcrash_log_writer_set_exception method when NSException instances have a nil reason.
• Apply bit mask for non-pointer isa values on macOS x64 (used in runtime symbolication).
• Strip pointer authentication codes on arm64e.

---

Version 1.4.0

• Support macOS 10.15 and XCode 11 and drop support for macOS 10.6.
• Add support for tvOS apps.
• Update protobuf-c to version 1.3.2. protoc-c code generator binary has been removed from the repo, so it should be installed separately now (brew install protobuf-c). protoc-c C library is included as a git submodule, please make sure that it's initialized after update (git submodule update --init).
• Remove outdated "Google Toolbox for Mac" dependency.
• The sources aren't distributed in the release archive anymore. Please use GitHub snapshot instead.
• Distribute static libraries in a second archive aside the frameworks archive.
• Fix minor bugs in runtime symbolication: use correct bit-mask for the data pointer and correctly reset error code if no categories for currently symbolicating class.
• Add preview support for the arm64e CPU architecture.
• Support for arm64e devices that run an arm64 slice (which is the default for apps that were compiled with Xcode 10 or earlier).
• Remove support for armv6 CPU architecture as it is no longer supported.
• Improve namespacing to avoid symbol collisions when integrating PLCrashReporter.
• Fix a crash that occurred on macOS where PLCrashReporter would be caught in an endless loop handling signals.
• Make it possible to not add an uncaught exception handler via shouldRegisterUncaughtExceptionHandler property on PLCrashReporterConfig. This scenario is important when using PLCrashReporter inside managed runtimes, i.e. for a Xamarin app. This is not a breaking change and behavior will not change if you use PLCrashReporter.
