Nutrient 8.6 migration guide

This guide provides the necessary steps for migrating from Nutrient Android SDK 8 to Nutrient Android SDK 8.6.

Information

Before updating to Nutrient Android SDK 8.6, make sure your app is running at least Nutrient Android SDK 8. If you’re running an earlier version, see our previous migration guides first, which will guide you through the necessary update steps up to version 8.6.

Upgrading Nutrient

Inside your app/build.gradle file, update the version of the com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit dependency to 8.6.0:

dependencies {
-   implementation 'com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit:8.5.1'
+   implementation 'com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit:8.6.0'
 }

Upgrading OCR dependencies

If your project also integrates the [Nutrient OCR library][], make sure to upgrade the version of all OCR dependencies too:

dependencies {
-   implementation 'com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit-ocr:8.5.1'
-   implementation 'com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit-ocr-english:8.5.1'
+   implementation 'com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit-ocr:8.6.0'
+   implementation 'com.pspdfkit:pspdfkit-ocr-english:8.6.0'
    ...
}

RxJava 2 to RxJava 3

Nutrient Android SDK 8.6 upgrades ReactiveX Java from major version 2 to 3 (specifically 3.1.6).

This means users who make use of our asynchronous APIs need to change their imports, replacing import io.reactivex. with import io.reactivex.rxjava3 where applicable.

For more details on migrating to RxJava 3, see the official migration guide.

Deprecated symbols removed

Nutrient Android SDK 8.6 removes the following APIs that were deprecated in previous versions:
