Carnival Mobile

aid: carnival-mobile
name: Carnival Mobile
description: 'Carnival Mobile (carnival.io) was a mobile relationship management platform, backed by GV, that let marketers
  segment users and deliver push notifications, in-app messages, rich media and an in-app message stream from inside native
  iOS and Android apps. Sailthru acquired Carnival and rebranded the product Sailthru Mobile; it ships today as the Marigold
  Mobile SDK. The lineage is still directly observable: docs.carnival.io 301-redirects to docs.mobile.sailthru.com, which
  301-redirects to sdkdevelopers.meetmarigold.com, and the current documentation still carries Carnival-era pages such as
  the iBeacons guide. The original carnivalmobile GitHub organization remains public, and the iOS, Android and React Native
  SDKs are still published to CocoaPods and npm under the first-party "carnival" maintainer account, which makes them the
  continuing distribution path for this company''s developer surface. Carnival Mobile has no independently documented public
  REST API; its developer contract is an on-device SDK.'
