Nevis Mobile Authentication Client SDK
2.x SDK Maintenance Support (LTS-21)
With the new major release version 3.x of the Nevis Mobile Authentication SDK, the 2.x release version is now in LTS21 Maintenance Support.
The 2.x release stream of the Nevis Mobile Authentication SDK will thus receive regular security fixes, addressing stability and security vulnerabilities. However, no new features will be rolled out with the 2.x. Nevis reserves the right to decide if a bug in the 2.x stream needs to be fixed.
Newly started app development projects should always use the latest available SDK version. You will get the full benefits of new features, bugfixes and comprehensive documentation with the most current SDK rolling releases.
Rolling Release (RR)
It is guaranteed that you can upgrade the backend from a previous release to the current release without having to replace currently rolled out Access Apps and SDKs. New releases remain compatible with the last previously rolled out Access Apps and SDKs releases. For example, the SDK compatible with backend release version n is also compatible with backend release version n+1.
Always update the backend first, before updating the SDK. This is necessary in order for the SDK to stay compatible with the Nevis release: Only if you first upgrade the backend and then the SDK, we can guarantee that the new SDK version will continue to work with the backend and can be rolled out to end users.
