• Documentation

Changes

• Reduced the SDK footprint: AAR library has decreased in size by 6,86 %
• Significantly improved stability by refactoring transport layer to eliminate race conditions by design
• Added retrier logic for commands (like sendMessage, createConversation etc. which re-sends command in case when connection lost before reply for command arrived)

Breaking Changes

• For the UNAUTHORIZED error the ErrorInfo.code is now 5 (was 1)
• In edge cases error codes and messages changed to more informative. So if your app relies on any specific error codes and/or messages - these cases should be double checked after updating to this version.

Conversations 2.0.0 (October 19, 2021)

• aar
• SHA-256: f746e085d3e95d45f98a4489a49080347cf0bf05850f0695243224b38b219d9d
• Documentation

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, Conversation.updateAttributes() will resolve successfully while Conversation#attributes still contains the old value. To see the new value, we recommend waiting for an #updated event.
• Some error messages have changed. For example, trying to leave a conversation you’re not part of will return error 50432, Participant not found instead of 50400, User not member of channel.
• Passing null to Conversation.sendMessage will result in the message body being an empty string.
• User.updateFriendlyName no longer accepts null as the value.
• Conversation.updateFriendlyName no longer accepts null as the value.
