Migrating to AEPPlaces reference
This document is a reference comparison of AEPPlaces (3.x) APIs agains against their equivalent ACPPlaces (2.x) APIs.
The AEPPlaces extension is implemented purely in Swift and is compatible with the AEPCore swift SDK. To ensure a smooth transition from the ACPPlaces SDK, there are no major changes on the API names or definition. For more details, follow the migration guide below for your Swift or Objective-C mobile application. If explanation beyond showing API differences is necessary, it will be captured as an info hint within that API's section.

getNearbyPointsOfInterest
AEP 3.x (Swift)
AEP 3.x (Objective-C)
ACP 2.x (Objective-C)
Rather than providing an overloaded method, a single method supports retrieval of nearby Points of Interest. The provided closure accepts two parameters, representing the resulting nearby points of interest (if any) and the response code.
1
static func getNearbyPointsOfInterest(forLocation location: CLLocation,
2
withLimit limit: UInt,
3
closure: @escaping ([PointOfInterest], PlacesQueryResponseCode) -> Void)
Copied!
1
+ (void) getNearbyPointsOfInterest: (nonnull CLLocation*) currentLocation
2
limit: (NSUInteger) limit
3
callback: ^ (NSArray<AEPPlacesPoi*>* _Nonnull, AEPPlacesQueryResponseCode) closure;
Copied!
Two
getNearbyPointsOfInterest methods exist. The overloaded version allows the caller to provide an errorCallback parameter in the case of failure.1
// without error handling
2
+ (void) getNearbyPointsOfInterest: (nonnull CLLocation*) currentLocation
3
limit: (NSUInteger) limit
4
callback: (nullable void (^) (NSArray<ACPPlacesPoi*>* _Nullable nearbyPoi)) callback;

// with error handling

processRegionEvent
AEP 3.x (Swift)
AEP 3.x (Objective-C)
ACP 2.x (Objective-C)
The order of parameters has the
PlacesRegionEvent first, and the CLRegion that triggered the event second. This aligns better with Swift API naming conventions.1
static func processRegionEvent(_ regionEvent: PlacesRegionEvent,
2
forRegion region: CLRegion)
Copied!

+ (void) processRegionEvent: (AEPRegionEventType) eventType
2
forRegion: (nonnull CLRegion*) region;

CLRegion that triggered the event first, and the ACPRegionEventType second.1
