Expanded Data Access & Relationship Queries

We’ve expanded support for working with various DBObjects as it relates to customers, subsidiaries, and linked accounts. New methods such as Customer.get_companies_by_group_ids, Subsidiary.get_by_customer_ids, and Template.get_by_subsidiary_ids make it easier to traverse relationships and retrieve associated data without additional custom logic. We’ve also added support for unlinking accounts via LinkedAccount.unlink_customer_account, along with new ACH aggregate limit retrieval methods — giving developers more control when working with account relationships and limits. These updates help simplify complex data access patterns and reduce the need for custom queries.

CLI & Debugging Experience Improvements

Several updates this month focus on making development workflows clearer and easier to debug. The q2 install, q2 uninstall, and q2 update_installed commands have been revamped with improved CLI hinting, helping developers better understand available options during execution. The /inspect endpoint has also been enhanced to better support nested DbObjects, providing more visibility. On the logging side, calls to logger.error now automatically include stack traces when used inside try/catch blocks, making it easier to diagnose issues.

Additional Enhancements

We’ve introduced a variety of supporting improvements across the SDK, including new HQ endpoint support and expanded MFA capabilities (such as delete_registration). Additional updates include improved Smart Trait documentation, new properties exposed on navigation nodes, and added visibility into image details in summary logs.

Mobile SDK News

iOS – Liquid Glass

We are currently investigating enabling Liquid Glass in a future iOS release. While exact timing has not yet been finalized, this change may introduce updates to UI rendering and visual behavior. We will provide additional details, including timelines as they become available. In the meantime, partners should begin reviewing their modules to ensure compatibility with potential UI and rendering changes.

Android – Hilt 2.57

With the April (26.4.0) Android release, Hilt has been updated to version 2.57. If your module uses Hilt, you will need to update your module implementation to maintain compatibility with the updated version. We recommend reviewing your dependencies and making any necessary updates.

Android – Gradle 9.0

We are targeting an upgrade to Gradle 9.0 as part of the June (26.6.0) Android release. This update may introduce changes to build configuration and dependency compatibility. Partners should begin preparing their modules by reviewing Gradle compatibility and updating any outdated configurations or dependencies.

Android – Kotlin 2.3.0

We are also planning to upgrade Kotlin to version 2.3.0 as part of the June (26.6.0) Android release. This update may impact language features and dependency compatibility. We recommend that partners review their modules and ensure alignment with Kotlin 2.3.0 to avoid potential build or runtime issues.
