Incompatible changes

Incompatible changes refer to changes that impact existing functionality and might have an effect on your deployment. Before you upgrade, review these lists and make the appropriate changes to your scripts and plugins.

SDKs Renamed

Prior to November 2024, the Ping SDKs were known as the ForgeRock SDKs.

ForgeRock SDK for iOS 4.0.0

Exception changes

The FRAClient.updateAccount() method now throws AccountError.accountLocked when attempting to update a locked account.
The HOTPMechanism.generateCode() and TOTPMechanism.generateCode() methods now throw AccountError.accountLocked when attempting to get an OATH token for a locked account.

Method signature changes

The signature of the following methods has changed:

WebAuthnRegistrationCallback

Old

public func register(
  node: Node? = nil,
  onSuccess: @escaping StringCompletionCallback,
  onError: @escaping ErrorCallback
)

New

public func register(
  node: Node? = nil,
  window: UIWindow? = UIApplication.shared.windows.first,
  deviceName: String? = nil,
  usePasskeysIfAvailable: Bool = false,
  onSuccess: @escaping StringCompletionCallback,
  onError: @escaping ErrorCallback
)

WebAuthnAuthenticationCallback

Old

public func authenticate(
  node: Node? = nil,
  onSuccess: @escaping StringCompletionCallback,
  onError: @escaping ErrorCallback
)

New

public func authenticate(
  node: Node? = nil,
  window: UIWindow? = UIApplication.shared.windows.first,
  preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials: Bool = false,
  usePasskeysIfAvailable: Bool = false,
  onSuccess: @escaping StringCompletionCallback,
  onError: @escaping ErrorCallback
)

FacebookSignInHandler

Old

public static func handle(
  _ application: UIApplication,
  _ url: URL,
  _ options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]
) -> Bool

New

public static func application(
  _ application: UIApplication,
  didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil
) -> Bool

In ForgeRock SDK for Android 4.0.0 and later, make calls to the method using:

application(_ application:, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: )

Not the previous call:

application(_ app:, open url:, options:)

ForgeRock SDK for Android 4.0.0

Removed support for native single sign-on (SSO)

The Android platform has deprecated sharedUserId that underpins the ForgeRock SDK for Android native SSO implementation.

This native SSO implementation will not be viable after sharedUserId is removed from the Android platform.

Due to this deprecation, ForgeRock SDK for Android 4.0.0 removes support for Android native single sign-on, as well as the following related changes:

AuthenticatorService is removed. Remove <service> from your AndroidManifest.xml file.
The ForgeRock SDK for Android no longer requires the following permissions:
- android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
- android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
- android.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
- android.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
The ForgeRock SDK for Android no longer requires the following configuration properties:
- forgerock
- forgerock_account_name
- forgerock_webauthn_account_name
- forgerock_webauthn_max_credential
- forgerock_enable_sso

Method signature changes

The signature of the following methods has changed:

WebAuthnRegistrationCallback

Old

public void register(Node node,FRListener<Void> listener)

New

suspend fun register(context: Context, node: Node)

WebAuthAuthenticationCallback

Old

public void authenticate(
  @NonNull Fragment fragment,
  @NonNull Node node,
  @Nullable WebAuthnKeySelector selector,
  FRListener<Void> listener
)

New

suspend fun authenticate(
  context: Context,
  node: Node,
  selector: WebAuthnKeySelector = WebAuthnKeySelector.DEFAULT
)

org.forgerock.android.auth.FRAClient

Old

public boolean updateAccount(@NonNull Account account)

New

public boolean updateAccount(@NonNull Account account)
  throws AccountLockException

org.forgerock.android.auth.HOTPMechanism

Old

public OathTokenCode getOathTokenCode()
  throws OathMechanismException

New

public OathTokenCode getOathTokenCode()
  throws OathMechanismException, AccountLockException

org.forgerock.android.auth.OathMechanism

Old

public abstract OathTokenCode getOathTokenCode()
  throws OathMechanismException

New

public abstract OathTokenCode getOathTokenCode()
  throws OathMechanismException, AccountLockException

org.forgerock.android.auth.TOTPMechanism

Old

public OathTokenCode getOathTokenCode()
  throws OathMechanismException

New

public OathTokenCode getOathTokenCode()
  throws OathMechanismException, AccountLockException

ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript 4.0.0

No longer provides Universal Module Definition (UMD) support

This version of the ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript does not provide a UMD bundle.

If you require UMD support, you can:

Use an earlier version of the ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript, such as 3.4.0.
Clone the repository with the latest source code and configure it locally to provide UMD support.

Support for CommonJS (CJS) and ES Modules (ESM) is not affected and still provided in ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript 4.0.0

Removal of indexedDB token store

The indexedDB option has been removed from the tokenStore configuration property in ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript 4.0.0. The indexedDB option did not offer sufficient functionality or reliability when the browser is using a private or incognito window.

If you are using the indexedDB option after upgrading to ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript 4.0.0 it is ignored and the SDK defaults to using the localStorage option instead. A warning message is output to the browser console.

This change will not affect the functionality of your app.

For more information on options for the token store, refer to Configure the Ping SDKs.

Updated Policy types

Updated policy types so that a PolicyRequirement array is output from failedPolicies.

Removed duplicate modules

Removed the FRUI and Event modules from the ForgeRock SDK for JavaScript repository.

These modules were incorrectly duplicated from the forgerock-javascript-sdk-ui repository.
