Hi @DavidSonPM, this question was originally posted by fellow Adobe Target Community member, @mezpahlan : How to get Target Preview working with new AEP library? 

I'm trying to get Target Previews working with the new AEP library for Target. Previously we were using the v4 Mobile Library:

com.adobe.mobile:adobeMobileLibrary:4.y.z

 Now we're trying to migrate to the new AEP SDKs:

implementation "com.adobe.marketing.mobile:sdk-core:1.y.z"
implementation "com.adobe.marketing.mobile:analytics:1.y.z"
implementation "com.adobe.marketing.mobile:userprofile:1.y.z"
implementation "com.adobe.marketing.mobile:mobileservices:1.y.z"
implementation "com.adobe.marketing.mobile:target:1.y.z"

The documentation https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/target/using/implement-target/mobile-apps/target-mobile-previ... says this: 

Android: In the app , call Config.trackAdobeDeepLink(URL); when the caller is asked to open the resource with the URL scheme that was specified in the previous step. 

Which worked fine when we were using the v4 Mobile Library, but I can't seem to do that with the new libraries. What's the new recommended way to continue to use Target Preview? Or is there an alternative?

Please review this documentation for preview support in v5 - https://aep-sdks.gitbook.io/docs/using-mobile-extensions/adobe-target#visual-preview

[mezpahlan]

Hi @DavidSonPM @Amelia_Waliany unfortunately your documentation is taking me in circles and not answering my question .

Your v5 link (https://aep-sdks.gitbook.io/docs/using-mobile-extensions/adobe-target#visual-preview) says:

"For more information about setting up Target visual preview, see Target mobile preview."

Which takes me to the link I originally posted about in my first question (https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/target/using/implement-target/mobile-apps/target-mobile-previ...) which is for the v4 libraries.

1. Config.trackAdobeDeepLink(appLinkData) no longer exists in v5 so I can't use that.
2. MobileServices.trackAdobeDeepLink(appLinkData) works differently in v5 and doesn't support Target Preview in the same way as v4.

There's clearly something that I am doing wrong but I can't get the help I need from your documentation. Are you able to clarify how I should be testing Adobe Target on mobile prior to launching into Production. Many thanks.

Hi @DavidSonPM! Given your areas of expertise in Adobe Target, what are some areas you've been working on recently that you're excited about? 

And where can people go to hear about them?

We are really excited about our ability to help customers personalize across channels via our Web, Mobile, Java, and Node.js SDKs. 

We are also working on some exciting initiatives where we can tremendously optimize performance in our SDKs. We are hoping for a zero-latency decisioning approach. Stay tuned for more!

@DavidSonPM: Does Alloy.js make at.js obsolete? When should we consider what?

Alloy.js doesn't make at.js obsolete at this time. However, the long term goal is to have all Target customers leverage Alloy.js in the future. A good time to consider Alloy.js would be when a customer is ready to leverage AEP.

Hi @DavidSonPM How can we integrate with Target successfully, given that cookie policies are progressing rapidly in such a way that both creating and retaining cookies will be limited on the browser?

Our recommendation is to integrate with Target via the server-side through our API or SDKs and to manage your own 1P ID. When managing your 1P ID and passing it over to Target, we will use your 1P ID for decisioning and bucketing. In this way, you won't have to worry about our Target client-side cookies expiring and getting impacted by ITP.

As we end this coffee break, I want to thank everyone for your time and your questions! Looking forward for more in the future!

@DavidSonPM  - what are some Mobile Personalization strategies that have been successful with clients? Does Auto-Target and Auto-Allocate work in Mobile?

Hi David, Just a note that there is a 404 error page when trying to register. some of my customers are trying to register to receive the calendar reminder.
