I have an old project that needs updating. It is using the MSDKUI. There is a note at the bottom of the MSDKUI iOS githib page: https://github.com/heremaps/msdkui-ios

Maintenance Notice The MSDKUI project will be discontinued as it is incompatible with the new 4.x HERE SDK releases.

I am using the Enterprise API for the truck routing features. The Enterprise API is on v3 and the Navigation API is on v4

  1. Do I migrate off of the Enterprise API to the Navigation API?
  2. If I can continue using the Enterpise API do I need to immediately come off of the MSDKUI? Or can I continue to use that + the Enterprise API for a while until the Enterprise API moves to v4?

As stated in the maintenance notice: The HERE team does not plan any additional feature implementation for the future. This repository will stay online and it can still be forked and used for commercial or non-commercial projects, but we plan only limited maintenance work from now on.

There is no need to switch immediately but I would recommend to get in contact with us to start evaluating the Navigation release based on 4.x.

  • To clarify, should I move away from the Premium API to the Navigation API? I have not read that the Premium iOS API is being deprecated also: These are the Premium and Navigation API's I am referring to: https://developer.here.com/products/here-sdk – Schwarz Software Jul 29 '21 at 23:59

    There is no immediate need of moving away from Premium SDK(3.x). There will be a proper communication and action plan for the migration. –  Aug 09 '21 at 12:14

I would recommend to migrate from the older 3.x version to the new 4.x editions, e.g. the HERE SDK Navigate Edition for iOS.

It has excellent truck features, like dedicated truck warning functions and truck map layers.

The documentation for 4.x also provides a migration guide that explains how easily you can migrate from Premium to Navigate.

Regrading the MSDKUI toolkit: There's no equivalent yet, but if you consider to switch to Flutter, then you can benefit from this new Ref App project on GitHub. It has a lot of ready-made UI and it's free to use in commercial apps.
