What's new? 🆕

This new bundle of templates for Purple Apps and Purple Experience offers a range of features to help your business succeed with our Purple Publishing suite. Improvements include enhanced performance, a new way to test events in your analytics tool, and revised offline behaviour for a better user experience when reading content offline.

Purple App Template 10.5

• Support for Dossiers in the App
  With this new App Template, the Purple Dossiers content binder is now fully supported in the App Experience. This content binder type helps you to efficiently collect and present different types of content in your Purple Hub for all channels. It can contain multiple content types and combine content at different workflow stages, such as a mix of published and unpublished articles. Enable Purple Dossiers to be displayed in the App via the 'Content Component' in the Purple Experience. Learn more

• Tracking Event logging
  To better understand the events logged in your App Analytics, you can enable debug logging of raw tracking events. This feature is available exclusively on the preview version of a Purple App or Purple Website. Learn more

• Optimization of queries
  We have changed the default behaviour of most queries in the Purple Experience, resulting in improved performance, especially for large queries. Please note that custom functionality that relies on the "totalCount" value of queries may break due to this change.

Purple Experience 3.5.0

FEATURES APP & WEB

• Support of Google Analytics 4
  From now on, Google Analytics 4 is fully supported for Analytics in App and Web in the Purple Experience. Learn more

• Consent Management Integration Refactoring
  Revision of the integration of the Consent Management platforms - if you notice something that does not work as usual, please do not hesitate to contact us.

• Analytics Integration Refactoring
  The App and Web Analytics integration has been overhauled to improve efficiency and performance. We have tested all changes thoroughly, but if you notice any discrepancies please get in touch with us.

FEATURES APP

• Offline Behaviour Improvements
  There is a new mechanism to inform readers that they are not connected to the Internet and have limited access to the app content. Learn more about the Offline Behaviour in Purple Apps

• iOS Privacy Manifest
  As iOS apps are required to include a privacy manifest for each SDK that potentially tracks user data, we address this by including the required document in the Purple App itself and each SDK it contains.

• iOS Dynamic Resource Download Update
  According to Apple's guidelines for iOS, we are now informing the customer whenever they need to download or unpack additional resources to continue using the app. The app user will see a new dialogue displaying the size of the dynamic resources to be downloaded. This dialogue appears only once, after a fresh app install, on the first app start, showing the content size of the requested dynamic resources. Learn more
