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.

Public APIs (alphabetical)
clear

static func clear()
+ (void) clear;
+ (void) clear;

getCurrentPointsOfInterest
AEP 3.x (Swift)
AEP 3.x (Objective-C)
ACP 2.x (Objective-C)
static func getCurrentPointsOfInterest(_ closure: @escaping ([PointOfInterest]) -> Void)

getLastKnownLocation
AEP 3.x (Swift)
AEP 3.x (Objective-C)
ACP 2.x (Objective-C)
static func getLastKnownLocation(_ closure: @escaping (CLLocation?) -> Void)
+ (void) getLastKnownLocation: ^(CLLocation* _Nullable lastLocation) closure;
If the SDK has no last known location, it will pass a CLLocation object with a value of 999.999 for latitude and longitude to the callback.
+ (void) getLastKnownLocation: (nullable void (^) (CLLocation* _Nullable lastLocation)) callback;
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.
static func getNearbyPointsOfInterest(forLocation location: CLLocation,
                                      withLimit limit: UInt,
                                      closure: @escaping ([PointOfInterest], PlacesQueryResponseCode) -> Void)
+ (void) getNearbyPointsOfInterest: (nonnull CLLocation*) currentLocation
                             limit: (NSUInteger) limit
                          callback: ^ (NSArray<AEPPlacesPoi*>* _Nonnull, AEPPlacesQueryResponseCode) closure;
Two getNearbyPointsOfInterest methods exist. The overloaded version allows the caller to provide an errorCallback parameter in the case of failure.
// without error handling
+ (void) getNearbyPointsOfInterest: (nonnull CLLocation*) currentLocation
                             limit: (NSUInteger) limit
                          callback: (nullable void (^) (NSArray<ACPPlacesPoi*>* _Nullable nearbyPoi)) callback;
​
// with error handling
+ (void) getNearbyPointsOfInterest: (nonnull CLLocation*) currentLocation
                             limit: (NSUInteger) limit
                          callback: (nullable void (^) (NSArray<ACPPlacesPoi*>* _Nullable nearbyPoi)) callback
                     errorCallback: (nullable void (^) (ACPPlacesRequestError result)) errorCallback;
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.
static func processRegionEvent(_ regionEvent: PlacesRegionEvent,
                               forRegion region: CLRegion)
+ (void) processRegionEvent: (AEPRegionEventType) eventType
                  forRegion: (nonnull CLRegion*) region;
The order of parameters has the CLRegion that triggered the event first, and the ACPRegionEventType second.
+ (void) processRegionEvent: (nonnull CLRegion*) region
         forRegionEventType: (ACPRegionEventType) eventType;
registerExtension
AEP 3.x (Swift)
AEP 3.x (Objective-C)
ACP 2.x (Objective-C)
Registration occurs by passing Places to the MobileCore.registerExtensions API.
MobileCore.registerExtensions([Places.self])
Registration occurs by passing AEPMobilePlaces to the [AEPMobileCore registerExtensions:completion:] API.
[AEPMobileCore registerExtensions:@[AEPMobilePlaces.class] completion:nil];
+ (void) registerExtension;
setAuthorizationStatus
AEP 3.x (Swift)
AEP 3.x (Objective-C)
ACP 2.x (Objective-C)
static func setAuthorizationStatus(status: CLAuthorizationStatus)
+ (void) setAuthorizationStatus: (CLAuthorizationStatus) status;
+ (void) setAuthorizationStatus: (CLAuthorizationStatus) status;
