A 2.0.0 release has been published for each package in this library. With this release, all future features will be brought only to this new major version, so users are highly encouraged to migrate from the 1.X.X releases to the new 2.0.0 releases. We have released one final LTS release for the 1.X.X packages that will be supported like any other LTS release.
If you need any help migrating your code to try out the new 2.X.X clients, please see this migration guide.
All Azure IoT SDK users are advised to be aware of upcoming TLS certificate changes for Azure IoT hub and Device Provisioning Service that will impact the SDK's ability to connect. In October 2022, both services will migrate from the current Baltimore CyberTrust CA Root to the DigiCert Global G2 CA root. There will be a transition period beforehand where your IoT devices must have both the Baltimore and Digicert public certificates installed in their certificate store in order to prevent connectivity issues.
For a more in depth explanation as to why the IoT services are doing this, please see this article.
Users of this Java IoT SDK in particular will need to follow slightly different instructions in order to handle this upcoming change. See this document for a more in depth explanation of how to prepare your devices for this certificate migration.
Users who don't follow these instructions will begin experiencing unrecoverable, consistent connection failures from their devices starting June 2022.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this upcoming change, please let us know on our discussions page.
Due to security considerations, build logs are not publicly available.

Visit Azure IoT Dev Center to learn more about developing applications for Azure IoT.
Devices and data sources in an IoT solution can range from a simple network-connected sensor to a powerful, standalone computing device. Devices may have limited processing capability, memory, communication bandwidth, and communication protocol support. The IoT device SDKs enable you to implement client applications for a wide variety of devices.
- On Linux and Windows:
- Using Maven: the simplest way to use the Azure IoT SDKs for Java to develop apps is to leverage Maven packages:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-java.git - Working with the SDKs code: if you are working with the SDKs code to modify it or contribute changes, then you can clone the repository and build the libraries:
- On Android: our Java device SDK can be used on Android:

| Features | mqtt | mqtt-ws | amqp | amqp-ws | https | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | Connect your device to IoT Hub securely with supported authentication, including private key, SASToken, X-509 Self Signed over MQTT, AMQPS and HTTPS, and X-509 Certificate Authority (CA) Signed. |
| Send device-to-cloud message | ✔️* | ✔️* | ✔️* | ✔️* | ✔️ | Send device-to-cloud messages (max 256KB) to IoT Hub with the option to add custom properties. *IoT Hub supports batch send over AMQP and HTTPS at the moment, Java SDK only supports HTTPS. The MQTT and AMQP implementation loops over the batch and sends each message individually. |
| Receive cloud-to-device messages | ✔️* | ✔️* | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | Receive cloud-to-device messages and read associated custom and system properties from IoT Hub, with the option to complete/reject/abandon C2D messages. *IoT Hub does not support option to reject/abandon C2D messages over MQTT at the moment. |
| Device Twins | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ➖ | IoT Hub persists a device twin for each device that you connect to IoT Hub. The device can perform operations like get twin tags, subscribe to desired properties. |
| Direct Methods | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ➖ | IoT Hub gives you the ability to invoke direct methods on devices from the cloud. The SDK supports handler for generic operation. |
| Upload file to Blob | ➖ | ➖ | ➖ | ➖ | ✔️ | A device can initiate a file upload and notifies IoT Hub when the upload is complete. File upload requires HTTPS connection, but can be initiated from client using any protocol for other operations such as telemetry. |
| Connection Status and Error reporting | ✖️ | ✖️ | ✖️ | ✖️ | ✖️ | Error reporting for IoT Hub supported error code. |
| Retry policies | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | Retry policy for unsuccessful device-to-cloud messages have three options: no try, exponential backoff with jitter (default) and custom. Detail implementation is documented here. |
