Id management improvements

Pass flag to backend indicating when $distinct_id might have been set to a pre-existing $distinct_id value instead of a generated UUID (used when resolving aliases)

Option to disable exception handler

You can now decide whether you want Mixpanel to report App Crashed events or not. Add the following meta-tag to your AndroidManifest.xml if you want to disable our exception handler:

<meta-data android:name="com.mixpanel.android.MPConfig.DisableExceptionHandler" android:value="true" />

Send device_id and user_id with event/people updates

• Events will have properties $user_id which is identified user and $device_id
  which is how anonymous events are tracked as before identify was called.
• People updates will also contain fields $user_id and $device_id.

Bug fixes

Braze integration support

v5.4.1

New release: 5.4.1

GDPR support

Mixpanel helps you to be GDPR compliant. You can now disable and enable tracking at runtime by using new APIs we have written for you:

MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, "TOKEN").optOutTracking()

• Removes any PII from the device and stops the SDK from tracking - See doc.

MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, "TOKEN").optInTracking()

• Use this method to opt-in an already opted-out user from tracking. See doc.

MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, "TOKEN").hasOptedOutTracking()

• Returns true if the user has opted out from tracking.

You can also initialize the SDK specifying a default tracking behavior (e.g do not track until optInTracking() is called): See doc

MixpanelAPI mixpanelAPI = MixpanelAPI.getInstance(context, "TOKEN", true);

Release v5.3.1

Fixes

• Prevent double tracking for some experiments
• Prevent tweaks declaration before they have been explicitly declared in code. Fixes #531
• Fix in-app notification crash #516

Improvements:

• Tweaks are cleared after calling reset() now.
• Added logic to prevent dup events at ingestion time
• Apply all editor changes at once when connected to Mixpanel UI builder
• Increase data expiration max time value

Change Mixpanel endpoints at runtime

You can now change Mixpanel endpoints at runtime by using the following APIs:

MPConfig.getInstance(this).setEventsEndpoint("https://myapp.company.com/trackendpoint/");

MPConfig.getInstance(this).setPeopleEndpoint("https://myapp.company.com/peopleendpoint/");

MPConfig.getInstance(this).setDecideEndpoint("https://myapp.company.com/decidepoint/");

If you wish to restore Mixpanel values you can use the following APIs:

MPConfig.getInstance(this).setMixpanelEventsEndpoint();

MPConfig.getInstance(this).setMixpanelPeopleEndpoint();

MPConfig.getInstance(this).setMixpanelDecideEndpoint();

(*) Remember that if you just need to override our endpoint always, you are safe by keep using the following meta-tags in your AndroidManifest.xml

<meta-data android:name="com.mixpanel.android.MPConfig.EventsEndpoint"
            android:value="https://myapp.company.com/trackendpoint/" />

<meta-data android:name="com.mixpanel.android.MPConfig.PeopleEndpoint"
            android:value="https://myapp.company.com/peopleendpoint/" />

<meta-data android:name="com.mixpanel.android.MPConfig.DecideEndpoint"
            android:value="https://myapp.company.com/decidepoint/" />
