5.16.1 - 2026-04-30

Fixed

• Expose reset() on the Objective-C LineSDKLoginManager wrapper so ObjC consumers can reset the SDK. #254

Added

• Swift 6 and Swift Concurrency support. Now the project is compatible with Swift 6 and takes advantage of Swift Concurrency features. #224

5.12.0 - 2025-01-15

Deprecated

• LoginManagerOptions and the related login method is deprecated. Use LoginManager.Parameters instead. #119
• preferredWebPageLanguage is deprecated. Use the property with the same name in LoginManager.Parameters instead. #119
• The general error type (Error) version of error handling delegate method in LoginButtonDelegate is deprecated. Use the specific LineSDKError version instead. #120
• All token related APIs in API are now deprecated. They are moved to API.Auth to distinguish from the normal public APIs. Not like API, methods in API.Auth will not try to automatically refresh your access token. #118

• Now you can use either Swift 4.2 or Swift 5.0 when integrating LINE SDK with CocoaPods. #60

Fixed
