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.
Type | AEP 3.x (Swift) | AEP 3.x (Objective-C) | ACP 2.x (Objective-C) |
Primary Class | Places | AEPMobilePlaces | ACPPlaces |
Enum | PlacesQueryResponseCode | AEPPlacesQueryResponseCode | ACPPlacesRequestError |
Class | PointOfInterest | AEPPlacesPoi | ACPPlacesPoi |
Enum | PlacesRegionEvent | AEPPlacesRegionEvent | ACPRegionEventType |

+ (void) getCurrentPointsOfInterest: (nullable void (^) (NSArray<ACPPlacesPoi*>* _Nullable userWithinPoi)) callback;
If the SDK has no last known location, it will pass nil to the closure.
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;
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*) currentLocationlimit: (NSUInteger) limitcallback: ^ (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.

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) eventTypeforRegion: (nonnull CLRegion*) region;
The order of parameters has the CLRegion that triggered the event first, and the ACPRegionEventType second.
+ (void) processRegionEvent: (nonnull CLRegion*) regionforRegionEventType: (ACPRegionEventType) eventType;
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;
static func setAuthorizationStatus(status: CLAuthorizationStatus)
+ (void) setAuthorizationStatus: (CLAuthorizationStatus) status;
+ (void) setAuthorizationStatus: (CLAuthorizationStatus) status;
