# Support Policy

## **Versioning strategy**

The iAdvize Mobile SDK follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/), that means that given a `x.y.z` version number:

* releasing critical bug fixes will change the `z` number: `3.4.5` -> `3.4.6` (PATCH release)
* releasing non-critical bug fixes or backward-compatible new features will change the `y` number: `3.4.5` -> `3.5.0` (MINOR release)
* releasing anything breaking the SDK public API will change the `x` number: `3.4.5` -> `4.0.0` (MAJOR release)

As versioning may differ from a platform to another, each iteration is given a codename so that it is easier to find the corresponding SDK on another platform.

## **Support status**

iAdvize Mobile SDK support comes in several distinct status:

* **Full support**: the SDK will receive bug-fixes and new features on a regular basis. MAJOR, MINOR and PATCH versions can be released upon it.
* **Partial support**: the SDK will receive security bug-fixes. Upon this version, only PATCH releases will be made, no MAJOR or MINOR. Update to the latest SDK is advized.
* **No support**: this SDK version is not supported anymore, update to the latest SDK is mandatory and unstable behaviours may occur during the use.

## **Release support lifecycle**

When a new MAJOR version is released, the previous MAJOR version enters a **grace period of 24 months**, at the end of which it reaches its **end-of-life**. After that moment, no support is provided on this version.

The **latest release** (most recent MAJOR.MINOR) is the only version that is **fully supported** by iAdvize.

In addition, several versions benefit from a **partial support**:

* the last 3 MINOR of the current MAJOR
* the last MINOR of previous MAJOR still in grace-period

## **Hybrid plugins**

Please be aware that the support policy only applies to the **native** iAdvize Mobile SDK (Android & iOS). Even though the hybrid plugin wrappers may have semantic versioning that differs from the native SDK, their support status is dependent on the native SDK version they embed.
