Your brands’ mobile users expect a lot—and they should.
If your app is using Alchemer Digital to deliver in-app interactions like surveys, feedback prompts, or other customer engagement, they need to load quickly, look native, and work smoothly across iOS and Android devices.
That’s why we built Alchemer Digital SDK v7.0, our most modern mobile SDK yet.
SDK v7.0 delivers a faster, smoother in-app experience with expanded support for the latest iOS and Android releases. It improves interaction performance, strengthens reliability, and modernizes UI compatibility—while also enhancing accessibility to help teams deliver polished, consistent experiences across a wider range of users and devices.
In this release, we focused on three key areas that matter most for mobile teams today: performance, platform readiness, and accessibility. And no matter which one resonates most with your team – they’re all a compelling reason to upgrade.
Here’s what’s new in SDK v7.0—and why it matters.

Reason #1 to upgrade: Faster, smoother in-app experiences
In-app experiences are a crucial part of the customer journey—whether someone is giving feedback, completing a quick survey, or responding to an in-app prompt.
And in mobile apps, speed matters.
With SDK v7.0, we focused heavily on improving performance, so interactions load faster and feel smoother in real-world conditions.
What’s new in SDK v7.0

Why it matters
A faster in-app experience means customers spend less time waiting and more time engaging. These improvements help in-app interactions feel more responsive, which supports better completion rates and a more polished mobile experience overall.
Reason #2 to upgrade: Ready for the latest iOS and Android releases
Mobile operating systems evolve constantly. And when iOS and Android release new versions, it’s not just about new features—it’s also about how apps are expected to look and behave.
SDK v7.0 is built to help teams stay current with the latest mobile OS updates, so in-app interactions continue to feel like they belong inside your app.
What’s new in SDK v7.0

Staying aligned with the latest iOS and Android releases makes it easier to deliver consistent in-app experiences across devices. It also helps future-proof your app as new OS updates roll out.
If your team is planning an OS upgrade, SDK v7.0 helps ensure your in-app interactions are ready to keep pace.
Reason #3 to upgrade: Accessibility improvements that support better usability
Accessibility is a critical part of building a good digital experience.
Whether your customers use screen readers, rely on keyboard navigation, or simply benefit from clearer design and labeling, accessibility improvements help make in-app experiences easier to use for everyone.
SDK v7.0 includes significant accessibility enhancements across iOS and Android, so more customers can easily provide feedback and complete interactions successfully.
What’s new in SDK v7.0

Why it matters
These updates help teams deliver more inclusive in-app experiences that are easier to navigate, easier to understand, and more consistent across devices.
Even for users who don’t rely on assistive technologies, better contrast and labeling can make interactions feel clearer and more intuitive—especially on mobile screens.
