New Mobile SDK v3

This month we are releasing our new Mobile SDK version 3.0. We have completely redesigned and improved the SDK for mobile applications for you. We have also rewritten the developer documentation from scratch and added demo apps to make it easier to get started. The new SDK is available for all major mobile platforms: Android, iOS, Unity, Flutter and ReactNative.

Attention developers: With the launch of the new SDK, the sunset period for the old SDKs begins. Depending on the SDK version (1.x/2.x), this will last until the middle or end of 2025. We recommend that you start the transition as soon as possible.
