Communication Preferences now available in PBJ Apps

Communication preferences have now been fully implemented into PBJ Apps.

This converts the pre-existing screen to and provides customers with more granularity as to what types of communication methods they can opt-in/out of.

All communication methods, excluding push, will appear under Communication Preferences.

Apple altered its stance on push notification preferences in early 2021. Apple now expects Apps to provide a method for users to opt-out from receiving Push messages:

> Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information. Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language displayed in your app’s UI, and you provide a method in your app for a user to opt-out from receiving such messages. Abuse of these services may result in revocation of your privileges.

Due to this, the communication method is listed under on the page of the app.

The communication method will appear regardless of whether COMM_PREFERENCES_METHODS_ENABLE is enabled or not. Opting out of Push Notifications disables all forms of push messaging, regardless of channel/type.
