Highlights

Version Information

With version 25.4, the SAP BTP SDK for iOS supports iOS 17 and higher versions and requires Xcode 16.2 or newer for app development.

SAP Fiori

As with every release, version 25.4 brings a number of important Fiori enhancements. The new AI Notice component provides a mechanism for developers to transparently indicate when AI-generated content is presented, helping to build user trust. Additionally, the new AI Progress Indicator provides an icon and a descriptive message to offer users clear context during AI-driven processes. Toast messages have been enhanced to deliver a smoother and more consistent notification experience. The FUIAttachmentViewController now clearly indicates which attachments are mandatory and can be configured to display a confirmation dialog when users attempt to delete attachments.

Foundation Enhancements

On the foundation side, developers will find new capabilities that improve diagnostics and strengthen user security. Applications can now export local client logs without requiring user authentication, making it easier to troubleshoot issues before onboarding is complete. Additionally, administrators can now enforce a digits-only passcode policy, which streamlines security compliance and enhances the corporate user experience by automatically displaying a digits-only keyboard.

OData

Offline functionality continues to be a strong focus area. In this release, Offline OData has been enhanced to support crossjoin data aggregation, making it easier to perform complex offline queries. Additionally, support for the UNBIND operation in UpdateEntity requests has been added, allowing developers greater flexibility when managing entity relationships in offline scenarios.
