    8.0.0

    New

    • 2 new VirtualService.createVirtualVisit methods have been added.
      • Both take in the new VirtualVisitDetails
      • One will use the existing DexcarePatient
      • One will use the new EhrPatient
    • VirtualVisitDetails replaces the deprecated VirtualVisitInformation. Please see documentation for more information on the properties.
    • Added VirtualService.getWaitTimeAvailability to fetch the new WaitTimeAvailability array. See documentation for more ways to filter the results.
    • Added VirtualService.getAssignmentQualifiers to fetch the array of VirtualVisitAssignmentQualifier to use in getWaitTimeAvailability or create Visit
    • Added VirtualService.getModalities to fetch the array of VirtualVisitModality to use in getWaitTimeAvailability or create Visit

    • Added VirtualVisitFailedReason.visitTypeNotSupported - returned when you try and call VirtualService.resumeVirtualVisit with a non-virtual visit type.

    • Upon signing in to the SDK, some validation configs are pulled down from the server. This allows for the validation to be consistent across DexCare platforms, and also allows for the validation requirements to be configurable per-environment. This currently only affects the EmailValidator, but may be expanded to other areas in a future SDK version.
    • A new EmailValidator.EMAIL_REGEX_FROM_CONFIG is available to get the latest email regex the SDK will use. This will default to EmailValidator.EMAIL_VALIDATION_REGEX.
    • A new DexcareSDK.getStatusPage is available to asynchronously grab the current status of the DexCare Platform. You can use this method to check for any incidents or scheduled maintenances on our infrastructure.
    • VisitStatus has been switched from an enum to a struct that inherits from RawRepresentable.
    • An optional VirtualVisitDetails.initialStatus property has been added to support setting an initial Visit Status on a virtual visit.

    Phone Visits

    • 8.0 supports the ability to schedule a phone visit. Similar to virtual visits, except the provider will end up phoning instead of using the virtual video platform
    • On VirtualService.createVirtualVisit simply set the VirtualVisitDetails.visitTypeName = "phone"
    • IMPORTANT The SDK will return in the completion event with VisitCompletionReason.phoneVisit after a successful creation or a resume It is up to you to check for that result and handle appropriately.

    Swift Concurrency

    Included in 8.0 is support for Swift Concurrency on all public functions. Both concurrency and closure-based functions will be supported. Internally, the SDK has moved to Concurrency for all internal calls and therefore we have removed PromiseKit as a required Dependency.

    For more examples of how you can call the new functions, please look at the v8 migration guide.

See the DexCare developers site for more information.
