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,
[TCHConversation setAttributes]will invoke completion (i.e., success) while[TCHConversation attributes]still returns the old value. To see the new value, we recommend waiting for an update event, e.g., in theconversationsClient:conversation:updated:``TCHConversationUpdateAttributesdelegate.
- Some error messages have changed. For example, trying to leave a conversation you're not part of will return error
50432, Participant not foundinstead of50400, User not member of channel. [TCHMessageOptions withAttributes]is simplified. It does not take a completion callback anymore, and returns an error if it failed to set any attributes.
Changes:
- Fixed reconnection after restoring the application from background. The issue was introduced in 1.2.0, and users are highly encouraged to upgrade to this version to avoid experiencing disconnection problems.
Changes:
- Added the possibility to set dispatch queue to get reports not from the main queue, but from the selected one.
- Added support of XCFramework with arm64 simulator.
- Added support for SPM.
- Removed support of Carthage until it supports binary XCFrameworks.
- Fixed an issue when a connection could be not established after returning from background.
Changes:
- The SDK now supports HTTP proxy. Proxy could be enabled by using a new flag
useProxypassed to client properties on a client creation. Settings read from the system configuration. - Added ability to defer certificates check to the OS (disable pinning) using new flag
deferCertificateTrustToPlatformpassed to client properties on a client creation.
Changes:
- Fixed a bug when
conversationDeleteddoesn't come when the Participant is removed by another user. - Fixed a bug that could lead to client synchronization stuck.
- Fixed a crash on accessing
participantWithIdentityfrom multiple threads.
Changes:
- Added support for detailed delivery receipts. See
