Changes

Pulse SDK 5.0 greatly simplifies the integration experience and introduces two new ways for capturing network traffic.

• Option 1 (Quickest) Add a new PulseProxy module for automatic capturing of all network traffic from the app with a single line – the quickest way to try Pulse

import PulseProxy

#if DEBUG
NetworkLogger.enableProxy()
#endif

• Option 2 (Recommended) Add new URLSessionProtocol and URLSessionProxy as a new recommended way to track network traffic and enable other Pulse features like response mocking

#if DEBUG
let session: URLSessionProtocol = URLSessionProxy(configuration: .default)
#else
let session: URLSessionProtocol = URLSession(configuration: .default)
#endif

• Learn more about the new network logging method in the fully rewritten Getting Started and Network Logging & Debugging guides
• Add compatibility with Swift 6 (not official until Xcode 16 RC ships)
• Reduce the size of the framework by nearly 15%
• Add RemoteLogger.isAutomaticConnectionEnabled property to allow automatic connection to Pulse apps
• Add and document the new public MockingURLProtocol used to enable network debugging features of Pulse apps. It is registered automatically with the new URLSessionProxy
• Add @MainActor to a few main-thread confined types like RemoteLogger
• Add new UserSettings properties: isRemoteLoggingHidden and allowedShareStoreOutputs,
• Increase the default LoggerStore size limit from 128 MB to 256 MB and response body size limit from 5 MB to 8 MB
• Add support for changing LoggerStore.shared.configuration to make it easier to configure the default store
• NetworkLogger.shared and LoggerStore.shared can now be both replaced with your custom instances and in any order with any other operations.
• UpdateRemoteLogger.Connection to perform work on the background queue so that Pulse now runs almost no code on the main queue
• Make LoggerStore.info an async method
• Fix export of PDF in dark mode (#288), thanks to @ilyalehchylin
• LoggerStore/export no longer returns LoggerStore.Info
• Add .create and .sweep options to the default LoggerStore init`
• Remove the console for MacOS as it is no longer feasible to maintain the reusable code between Pulse SDK and Pulse standalone app for Mac. If you are using the console for macOS, please consider using the standalone Pulse app.
• Remove some of the text-based search filters, which wasn’t the right UX for a phone. In upcoming versions, it will be replaced with convenient controls.
• Remove deprecated LoggerStore.copy(to:) and LoggerStore.pins
• Remove support for exporting store as a package (DocumentType.package)
• Bug fixes and performance improvements
