Feature Highlights
SAP Fiori
Theme Designer
Enterprises strive to provide a unique and consistent experience to their employees. With the new version of the SDK, developers using native SDKs can adopt a theme on the fly. With just a few clicks your mobile application will reflect your organization’s theme without breaking the robust native experience you’ve come to enjoy.
What’s more, if your organization likes to adopt a different theme to celebrate events or if there is a major rebranding on the horizon, as a developer you can rest assured that you can adopt the changes in a matter of minutes.

Collection View Cell
The collection view cell has been enhanced to now support a range of controls including (but not limited to) an input text field, list picker, signature form cell, and ratings.
Offline
4.0.1 JSON Format
You can now use the 4.0.1 JSON format with the new version of the SDK. The 4.0.1 JSON version includes support for an exponential notation for decimals and the built-in value of @type for primitive types.
Deep Insert
Backend systems may or may not return responses in the order the request was sent. With SAP BTP SDK for iOS 9.0, developers can use deep insert to handle connections to different kinds of backend systems. For example, if the backend system follows OData 4.0.1, the ContentID of the request is used to match the ContentID of the response. However, if the backend system is not OData 4.0.1, the order of items in response is assumed to be the same as it was in the request.
