1.8.0

Fixed

• Duplicate @defer directive error (#235): When executing codegen against Apollo Router and a schema that supports the @defer directive it would fail with an error stating the directive is duplicated.

Changed

• InstallCLI plugin updates (#132): The InstallCLI plugin now downloads the CLI binary from GitHub. This requires that we update the swift-tools-version to 5.9, therefore Xcode 15 is now the minimum version of Xcode allowed.

Improvement

• Added InputObject casing strategy (#137): We've added a new casing strategy option for InputObjects which mimics the behaviour of the enum case conversion strategy. Thank you to @alexifrim for raising this in issue #3257.
• Added GraphQLResult conversion extension (#139): GraphQLResult response data can now be easily converted into a JSON dictionary. This is useful for taking server response data and serializing it into a JSON dictionary which can then be used in a test suite.
• Codegen performance improvements (#152): There has been a bunch of refactoring work to prepare for future codegen features but we've also managed to squeeze out some performance improvements.

preview-defer.1

This is the first preview release of @defer support in Apollo iOS which focuses on providing early access to using the @defer directive in your operations. During preview releases bugs can occur, if you do experience anything unexpected please report it to us.

Note: Apollo supports a very specific early RFC version of the @defer directive as documented here. The @defer directive is still an RFC and is not an official addition to the GraphQL specification yet. This means that Apollo iOS may not work with all servers that currently support @defer.

How to use it
We have a sample schema/server that supports @defer and can be launched using the Docker configuration.

Once you have that service launched you can configure your Apollo iOS client to target the apollo-ios and apollo-ios-codegen dependency packages using the preview-defer.1 tag. Below is an example query using @defer against the schema.

query ExampleQuery {
  allProducts {
    sku
    id
    ... on Product @defer(label: "additional") {
      dimensions {
        size
      }
      variation {
        id
        name
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternatively here is a sample client to demonstrate the code generation and operation execution of the @defer directive.

Caveats in this preview release

• Caching is intentionally disabled for operations using @defer.

1.7.1

Fixed

• Fixed inconsistent ordering of fragments in generated operation definitions (#130): In order to make the ordering of fragments consistent, they are now alphabetized. This is a change to the data that gets sent over the wire when making a network request for an operation with fragments. Persisted Queries users should re-register their queries when upgrading to this version. Thank you to @scottasoutherland for reporting the issue.

Improvement

• Add initializer for SelectionSet that takes a [String: Any] JSON object (#102): Thank you to @Cookiezby for the contribution.

1.7.0

ApolloCodegenLib Now Uses Swift Concurrency
To improve the performance of the code generation, the ApolloCodegenLib now uses async/await. Code generation is now parallelized and should complete much faster for users with a large number of GraphQL files.
This means that the entry point function, ApolloCodegen.build(with configuration:) is now an async function. For users using the ApolloCodegenLib directly, you will need to make your call sites into this function use async/await. In most cases, this requires minimal code changes. Please see the 1.7.0 migration guide for information on how to upgrade.

See PR #57.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug with ApolloAPI.Object clashing with custom objects name Object (#94): Thank you to 215eight for reporting the issue.

1.6.1

Fixed

• Fix bug with AnyHashable coercion (#68): This is an additional fix for the crashes on iOS 14.4.1.

1.6.0

The Apollo iOS ecosystem is changing in the 1.6.0 release in order to provide a better development experience for users. For most users nothing will change, while some users will see a minor difference. The biggest change is that the ApolloCodegenLib is now in a separate repo/package that will need to be included as its own dependency from apollo-ios-codegen if you are doing your code generation through Swift. If you are using the codegen CLI then no changes are necessary.

For a detailed breakdown of the changes please see this GitHub Issue.

Fixed

• Fixed crashes in iOS 14.4 and below (#61): Thank you to matijakregarGH for reporting the issue.

1.5.2

The purpose of this release is to provide a deprecation message to users of ApolloCodegenLib who are scripting their code generation in advance of an upcoming change to our libraries and repo structure. Beginning with the upcoming 1.6.0 release the code generation libraries will be their own SPM package in their own repo which will require you to add a new dependency to you project in order for your code generation scripting to compile. More information can be found in our announcement of this change.

If you would like to avoid this deprecation warning in your builds feel free to stay on 1.5.1 or earlier, this warning will be gone in the 1.6.0 release

PR containing deprecation warning for reference: #3243.

1.5.1

Improvement

• Added OutputOptions property to codegen for marking generated classes as final (#3189): Thank you to @Mordil for the contribution.

Fixed

• Codegen itemsToGenerate option for .all not generating an operation manifest (#3215): Thank you to @TizianoCoroneo for finding and fixing the issue.
• Codegen operation manifest inadvertantly being generated twice (#3225): Thank you to @jimisaacs for finding and fixing the issue.

1.5.0

New

• Added the ability pass a custom RequestContext to networking APIs (#3198): Thank you to @danieltiger for the contribution.
  • Minor Breaking Change: The requestContext parameter is optional with a default value of nil. This means there are no breaking changes to the APIs for making networking calls. However, the requestContext parameter was also added to the ApolloClientProtocol. For custom implementations of this protocol (usually used for unit testing), you will need to add the requestContext parameter to your function signatures.

Fixed

• Null values are no longer stripped from the underlying data used by generated SelectionSet models (apollo-ios-dev/#25):
  • When these models were manually inserted into the cache, the null fields, which were stripped, were not written to the cache. This caused unintended cache misses when fetching those values back out of the cache.
  • This fixes #3092. Thank you to @aleksanderlorenc-lw for raising this issue.

1.4.0

v1.4.0

New

• Added the ability to set a casing strategy for field names in code generation (#2738): See PR (#3171). Thank you to @Spatel91111 for the feature request.

Improvement

• Updated the way persisted queries are configured for code and manifest generation: See PR (#3175)
• Updated docs for other schema module type to provide more clarity (#3164): See PR (#3170) Thank you to @Mordil for suggesting this update.
