Breaking changes

• Major under-the-hood improvement (the “Sessionless” protocol). This improvement is designed primarily for improved reliability. While this is not a breaking code change, it does carry a meaningful impact on timing:
  • SDK commands will return success or failure up to ~10% more quickly than before.
  • Real-time updates of data are now likely to arrive after the command completes.
    For example, [TCHChannel setAttributes] will invoke completion (i.e., success) while [TCHChannel attributes] still returns the old value. To see the new value, we recommend waiting for an update event, e.g., in the chatClient:channel:updated:TCHChannelUpdateAttributes delegate.
• The channel list page size increased from 50 to 100. Please make sure your code respects any returned page size, rather than assuming 50 (or 100).
• Some error messages have changed:
  • Declining an invite while already joined will return an error 50601, Invite not found instead of 50602, Cannot decline invite when already channel member.
  • Trying to leave a channel you're not part of will return error 50402, Member not found instead of 50400, User not member of channel.

Programmable Chat iOS 4.0.0 (July 20, 2020)

• Archive
• Docs

Breaking changes

• Renamed TCHMessage accessor: timestamp as dateCreated; timestampAsDate asdateCreatedAsDate.
• Asynchronous [TCHMembers membersWithCompletion] transformed to synchronous [TCHMembers membersList].
• Added TCHMemberUpdateLastConsumptionTimestamp.
  • This as a result also changed value of TCHMemberUpdateAttributes, potentially a silent breaking change if this value was serialized.
• Changed TWSMap/TWSList queryItemsWithOptions to return error in completion if pageSize is 0.
• Changed [TCHChannel getUnconsumedMessagesCountWithCompletion] to return nil instead of 0 if message consumption horizon was not set.
  • Completion now uses NSNumber* (nullable object type), instead of NSUInteger to accommodate this change.
• Changed [TCHMessages setNoMessagesConsumedWithCompletion] to use nullable NSNumber*, it will always return nil (because it resets the consumption horizon).

Changes

• Added [TCHMessage getMediaContentTemporaryUrlWithCompletion] to get a temporary direct link to Media content.
• To download Media by direct URL, use native iOS API, such as [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL()].
• Deprecated [TCHMessage getMediaWithOutputStream:...]. Use above API instead.

• Fixed an issue when sometimes connecting events don’t arrive.
