For iOS, bumped the deployment target to iOS 13.0.
For Android, bumped the minimum supported Android API level (minSdkVersion) to 24.
Updated the Sentiance Android SDK dependency to v6.13. See for the changes introduced by this SDK version.

Severity information to vehicle crash events. See .
speedLimitInMps of a Waypoint will now return Number.MAX_VALUE instead of undefined, if the waypoint has an unlimited speed limit.
listenVehicleCrashEvents is now deprecated. Use addVehicleCrashEventListener instead.
A new isProvisional property to Event, which indicates whether the event is provisional. A provisional event is identified based on real-time detections, but may change in the near future as more data is collected and processed, to filter out unwanted artifacts. For example, a provisional car transport may get identified, followed by a provisional bus transport. After the full trip is complete, these provisional events may get merged into a single final car event. Currently, provisional events apply only to 'transport' types.
The following EventTimeline APIs have been extended: getTimelineUpdates, getTimelineEvents, and addTimelineUpdateListener now accept an optional includeProvisionalEvents parameter for you to specify whether to retrieve/receive all events, including provisional ones.
The following UserContext APIs have been extended: requestUserContext and addUserContextUpdateListener now accept an optional includeProvisionalEvents parameter for you to specify whether to retrieve/receive all events, including provisional ones.
The TRANSPORT_IS_PROVISIONAL value has been added to the OccupantRoleFeedbackResult type. Submitting occupant role feedback for provisional transports is not allowed.
Fixed
Add missing occupant role info to Typescript definitions.
Upcoming Changes in the Next Release
Starting from v6.11, planned for the end of February 2025, the following changes will come into effect:
Minimum supported iOS version for SDK detections will change from 13.0 to 15.0. You can still target iOS 13.0 for your app builds, however, detection will not be possible, and the SDK initialization will fail.
Minimum Supported Android API level for SDK detections will change from 23 to 24 (i.e. from Android 6 to 7). You can still target API level 23 for your app builds, however, detections will not be possible, and the SDK initialization will fail.
Added
A new driving insights feature for detecting the occupant role of the user during car transports (i.e. driver vs passenger). The occupant role is available at the end of a transport, in the TransportEvent.
A feedback API, for providing feedback on the detected occupant role of the user during car transports. The feedback is used on the device to improve the accuracy of future detections.
Support for assigning tags to transports. A tag is a key-value which can be assigned to an ongoing or future transport. The tags are included in the retrieved TransportEvent, after the transport has ended.
Waypoints in phone usage, call-while-moving, and harsh driving events. These waypoints indicate the segments of the transport where the corresponding event occurred. Some waypoints can be synthetic.
A driving insights API for retrieving the average 'overall' safety score of the user, over a period of the last 7, 14, or 30 days.
​Type and confidence information to harsh driving events. A type is categorized as acceleration, braking, or cornering.
Fixed
A bug on iOS where the bicycle transport mode is exposed with a value of BYCICLE instead of BICYCLE.
A bug on the user context module's addUserContextUpdateListener Typescript API where the delivered user context object was of the wrong type. It was previously UserContext, now it's UserContextUpdate.

A new Driving Insights feature, which provides information about a user's driving behaviour. In this first version, the SDK detects harsh driving events (e.g. acceleration, braking, and turning), which are then used to compute a vehicular transport's smooth driving score. This data is available via the new DrivingInsights package, which allows the subscription to, and retrieval of DrivingInsights and HarshDrivingEvents. This feature must be enabled by Sentiance before use.
