Highlights
Security
Digitally signed QR code for Onboarding
QR Codes can now be digitally signed in SAP Mobile Services so that the SAP BTP SDK for iOS verifies the signature before proceeding with the onboarding process. SAPFoundation.DigitalSignatureVerifier is a new class which can be used to verify any kind of signed data.

Feature Vector Policy (Feature Restriction Policy)
Using SAP Mobile Services , administrators can set feature flags (also called “feature restriction policies” on the server side) for applications. Starting with this version of the iOS SDK, you can use the two new classes, SAPcpmsFeatureVectorPolicy and SAPcpmsFeature, in SAPFoundation to read these policies (called “feature vector policies” on the SDK side).

Hi Alex,
thanks for your feedback! Our plan is to introduce async capabilities in
SAPFoundation.SAPURLSession
first and from there further adopt Modern Swift Concurrency in the SAP BTP SDK for iOS. I can't give you a timeline due to legal concerns.Cheers,
Marco
