New REST SDK Support for REST API Applications

New REST client libraries are available with 2.3 SP02. The REST SDK libraries enable consumption of SAP Mobile Platform REST services with pure HTTP (by default in on-premise) connectivity. The REST SDK provides simplified APIs for registration, exchange settings between client and server, and end-to-end tracing. The SDK also supports native push notifications.

Three new classes have been added for iOS and Android for registration, exchange setting, end-to-end tracing, and native push notifications:
  • iOS – new classes: SMPClientConnection, SMPUserManager, and SMPAppSettings.
  • Android – new classes: ClientConnection, UserManager, and AppSettings.
