Migration Guide
Migration notes for SmartSpectra Swift SDK upgrades.
Protobuf Type Renames
The Swift SDK's protobuf-generated types previously carried a Presage_Physiology_ prefix derived from the proto package. The prefix has been stripped at the protoc-gen-swift level (option swift_prefix = "";), so all proto types are now exposed under their bare names.
Quick reference
| Before | After |
|---|---|
Presage_Physiology_Metrics | Metrics |
Presage_Physiology_Insight | Insight |
Presage_Physiology_InsightType | InsightType |
Presage_Physiology_FeatureType | FeatureType |
Presage_Physiology_MetricType | MetricType |
Presage_Physiology_Measurement | Measurement |
Presage_Physiology_MeasurementWithConfidence | MeasurementWithConfidence |
Presage_Physiology_DetectionStatus | DetectionStatus |
Presage_Physiology_ExpressionType | ExpressionType |
Presage_Physiology_StatusValue | StatusValue |
Presage_Physiology_StatusCode | StatusCode |
The same rule applies to every other type the proto schema exposes (Pulse, Breathing, Trace, Strict, Face, Landmarks, Point2dFloat, …).
What to change
Replace any reference to a Presage_Physiology_* symbol with the bare name. A repo-wide search-and-replace is sufficient:
sed -i '' 's/Presage_Physiology_//g' <your-source-files>Name collisions
Bare names can collide with types in modules the consumer also imports. Known collisions today:
Measurementcollides withFoundation.Measurement<UnitType>.Tracecollides withos.Trace(OSLog signpost APIs).
In files that import the colliding module, qualify the SmartSpectra type at the use site:
import Foundationimport SmartSpectravar breathingTrace: [SmartSpectra.Measurement] = []let pulseTrace: SmartSpectra.Trace = ...Everything else (MeasurementWithConfidence, Pulse, Insight, Strict, …) doesn't collide with anything in the standard Apple modules today — leave those bare.
Wire format is unchanged (swift_prefix only affects Swift codegen).
Package Rename
The Swift SDK module and SPM product were renamed from SmartSpectraSwiftSDK to SmartSpectra. Update every import and the shared SDK type:
// Before:import SmartSpectraSwiftSDKlet sdk = SmartSpectraSwiftSDK.shared// After:import SmartSpectralet sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.sharedMost call sites should move from SmartSpectraSwiftSDK.shared to
SmartSpectraSDK.shared.
Edge Metrics Migration
The metricsBuffer pathway has been removed. Swift apps should now read vitals data from metrics on SmartSpectraSDK.shared.
What Changed
metricsBufferand$metricsBufferwere removed- on-device
metricsis now the vitals data source - public configuration now lives on
sdk.config
Field Mappings
Old (metricsBuffer) | New (metrics) |
|---|---|
pulse.rate | cardio.pulseRate |
breathing.rate | breathing.rate |
pulse.trace | cardio.arterialPressureTrace |
breathing.upperTrace | breathing.upperTrace |
Important
Cardio fields now require explicit opt-in through requested metrics configuration.

Example Update
// Before:if vitalsProcessor.processingStatus == .idle || vitalsProcessor.processingStatus == .processed { showResults()}// After:if sdk.processingStatus == .idle { showResults()}Observable Migration
SmartSpectraSDK and SmartSpectraConfig moved from ObservableObject + @Published to the Swift 5.9 @Observation macro. The Combine-style $ publishers (sdk.$metrics, sdk.$error, sdk.$processingStatus, sdk.$imageOutput, sdk.$validationStatus, sdk.$insight) are gone. The properties themselves remain and now track automatically in SwiftUI views.
SwiftUI Views
Drop @ObservedObject / @StateObject wrappers on sdk. SwiftUI re-renders when tracked properties change:
// Before:struct MyView: View { @ObservedObject private var sdk = SmartSpectraSwiftSDK.shared var body: some View { Text("Status: \(sdk.processingStatus)") }}// After:struct MyView: View { private let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared var body: some View { Text("Status: \(sdk.processingStatus)") }}For side effects on property change, use .onChange(of:) instead of .onReceive($X) or manual .sink { }:
// Before:.onReceive(sdk.$metricsBuffer) { buffer in guard let buffer else { return } appendToChart(buffer.breathing.rate)}// After:.onChange(of: sdk.metrics) { _, metrics in guard let metrics else { return } appendToChart(metrics.breathing.rate)}UIKit Consumers
UIKit has no .onChange(of:) equivalent. Replace Combine subscriptions with withObservationTracking, re-armed after each change:
// Before:sdk.$metricsBuffer .receive(on: DispatchQueue.main) .sink { [weak self] buffer in self?.update(buffer) } .store(in: &cancellables)// After:private func observeMetrics() { withObservationTracking { _ = sdk.metrics } onChange: { [weak self] in Task { @MainActor [weak self] in guard let self else { return } self.update(self.sdk.metrics) self.observeMetrics() } }}A generic helper keeps multiple keypath observations tidy:
private func observeSDK<T>( _ keyPath: KeyPath<SmartSpectraSDK, T>, _ handler: @escaping (T) -> Void) { withObservationTracking { _ = sdk[keyPath: keyPath] } onChange: { [weak self] in Task { @MainActor [weak self] in guard let self else { return } handler(self.sdk[keyPath: keyPath]) self.observeSDK(keyPath, handler) } } handler(sdk[keyPath: keyPath])}// Usage:observeSDK(\.metrics) { [weak self] metrics in guard let self, let metrics else { return } self.update(metrics)}observeSDK(\.processingStatus) { [weak self] status in self?.updateStatus(status)}Non-SwiftUI @Observable Classes
View models that consume SDK state should mark themselves @MainActor @Observable. Combine .sink on sdk.$X inside those view models migrates to the same withObservationTracking re-arm pattern shown above.
Configuration Access
Configuration is now reached through the SDK instance only:
// Before:let sdk = SmartSpectraSwiftSDK.sharedsdk.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")sdk.setCameraPosition(.front)// After:let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.sharedsdk.config.apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"sdk.config.requestedMetrics = SmartSpectraConfig.cardioMetrics + SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetricsOlder releases did not expose public SmartSpectraConfig access; configuration
was applied through methods on SmartSpectraSwiftSDK.shared. Current releases
make sdk.config the single source of truth and prevent the class of bug where
views observed one config instance while the SDK held another.
Custom SDK Instances
SmartSpectraSDK and SmartSpectraConfig now expose public initializers for callers that want an isolated SDK instance (for tests or advanced integrations):
let customConfig = SmartSpectraConfig()customConfig.apiKey = "…"let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK(config: customConfig)Most apps should keep using SmartSpectraSDK.shared — it's the intended entry point, matching the URLSession.shared pattern.
What multi-instance gives you today
Isolated per instance:
@Observablestate (metrics,error,processingStatus,validationStatus,insight,imageOutput)config— each SDK has its own- SwiftUI views bound via
init(sdk:)or.smartSpectraSDK(_:)render against the correct instance
Still process-global (not isolated):
- Authentication — the underlying auth handler is a singleton, so setting
apiKeyon one instance affects the auth state that every instance sees - Camera — only one
AVCaptureSessioncan be active at a time on iOS, and it is owned process-wide - The preprocessing runtime — only one instance can drive an active measurement at a time
In practice this means custom instances are useful for tests (isolated state per test), side-by-side UI (show state from two SDKs without either actively processing), or sequential lifecycles (stop one SDK, start another). Two simultaneous live measurements on two SDK instances is not supported yet.
Binding a custom instance into a SwiftUI hierarchy
The SDK no longer ships SwiftUI views or environment-binding helpers. Custom instances flow into your views the same way any @Observable does — pass them directly, or define your own environment key:
@mainstruct MyApp: App { @State private var sdk = SmartSpectraSDK(config: customConfig) var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView(sdk: sdk) } }}For an environment-key pattern, see samples/demo-app/UI/SDKEnvironmentKey.swift — a tiny helper that defines \.smartSpectraSDK and .smartSpectraSDK(_:) for the moved screening views to read against. Copy it if you want the same pattern in your own app.
Hosts that just use SmartSpectraSDK.shared need no binding at all.
SwiftUI Surface Removal
The SDK no longer ships any SwiftUI views or environment helpers. Removed from the SmartSpectra module:
SmartSpectraView,SmartSpectraButtonView,SmartSpectraResultView- The screening overlay / plot / processing views
- Onboarding, tutorial, legal, and web views
ContinuousVitalsPlotViewand itsTraceLineView/VitalSectionhelpersStartupRecoveryhelper\.smartSpectraSDKenvironment key and.smartSpectraSDK(_:)view modifier
What's still public
SmartSpectraSDKandSmartSpectraConfig— the data and lifecycle plane.- The full observable surface:
metrics,imageOutput,processingStatus,validationStatus,error,insight, plustry await sdk.start() / sdk.stop(). - All proto types (
Metrics,Measurement,MeasurementWithConfidence, etc.) and theirTimeStamped/appendProtoArrayextensions.
What you need to do
If you used SmartSpectraView() as a one-line integration point, copy the reference implementation from the demo-app sample at samples/demo-app/UI/ into your project. The folder mirrors the previous SDK layout (Components/, Screening/, Legal/, Web/) and wires through public-only SDK API:
ScreeningViewModelcallstry await sdk.start()/sdk.stop()instead of the (removed)processor.startProcessing/stopProcessing.SDKExtensions.swiftrecomputescardioMeasurementsEnabled/facialExpressionEnabled/edaInferenceEnabledfrom the publicrequestedMetricssurface.SDKEnvironmentKey.swiftdefines a sample-local\.smartSpectraSDKenvironment key +.smartSpectraSDK(_:)modifier — copy it if you want the same SwiftUI binding pattern.StartupRecoverytakes an explicitvideoInputEnabledargument; the host tracks it locally rather than reading SDK config.- Brand color lives in
BrandColor.swift— customize for your product theme. - Tutorial images load from the host app's main bundle (no
bundle: .module); the demo-app'sAssets.xcassets/tutorial_image*.imagesetentries can be copied as-is.
If you only used ContinuousVitalsPlotView, the same folder includes a sample-local copy at samples/demo-app/UI/Screening/ContinuousVitalsPlotView.swift (with TraceLineView.swift and VitalSection.swift). Drop the three files into your project, add the SDKExtensions.swift derived flags, and the view works unchanged.
// Before:import SwiftUIimport SmartSpectrastruct ContentView: View { private let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared init() { sdk.config.apiKey = "…" } var body: some View { SmartSpectraView() }}// After (option 1 — keep the screening flow by copying the sample):import SwiftUIimport SmartSpectrastruct ContentView: View { private let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared init() { sdk.config.apiKey = "…" } var body: some View { // SmartSpectraView is now a sample-local view copied from // samples/demo-app/UI/Components/SmartSpectraView.swift. SmartSpectraView() }}// After (option 2 — bring your own UI, drive the SDK directly):import SwiftUIimport SmartSpectrastruct ContentView: View { private let sdk = SmartSpectraSDK.shared init() { sdk.config.apiKey = "…" } var body: some View { VStack { if let image = sdk.imageOutput { Image(uiImage: image).resizable().aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) } Text("Status: \(String(describing: sdk.processingStatus))") Button(sdk.processingStatus == .running ? "Stop" : "Start") { Task { if sdk.processingStatus == .running { try? await sdk.stop() } else { try? await sdk.start() } } } } }}Why this changed
The shipped UI embedded opinionated decisions every customer wanted to override (full-screen vs sheet presentation, onboarding policy, legal-document hosting URL, theming, plot styling). Maintaining that as stable SDK API forced every customer to fight the same set of defaults. Moving every SwiftUI piece into a sample lets each project fork the part it cares about while the SDK owns only the data and lifecycle plane.
@MainActor Isolation
SmartSpectraSDK and SmartSpectraConfig are now @MainActor-isolated. Access from non-main contexts requires the standard hop:
// From a background task:await MainActor.run { sdk.config.apiKey = "…"}SwiftUI View bodies, UIKit UIViewController methods, and XCTestCase-subclass methods marked @MainActor access the SDK directly without extra ceremony. Unit tests that mutate SDK or config state should annotate the test class with @MainActor.
Metric bundles moved to SmartSpectraConfig
Older Swift releases did not expose public requested-metric bundles. Current
releases provide five public nonisolated static lets on
SmartSpectraConfig: breathingMetrics, cardioMetrics, faceMetrics,
edaMetrics, micromotionMetrics. The namespace and Metrics suffix match
the Android SDK's SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetrics companion field and
the C++ SDK's SmartSpectraConfig::CardioMetrics() static method.
// Before// No public requested-metric selection API.// Aftersdk.config.requestedMetrics = SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetrics + SmartSpectraConfig.cardioMetricsCurrent releases also expose EDA and micromotion bundles:
// EDA tracesdk.config.requestedMetrics = SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetrics + SmartSpectraConfig.edaMetrics// Micromotion (glutes, knees)sdk.config.requestedMetrics = SmartSpectraConfig.breathingMetrics + SmartSpectraConfig.micromotionMetrics
