ZIM upgrade Guide


This article introduces some instructions and precautions when upgrading the In-app Chat macOS SDK.

2.18.0 upgrade guide

Warning

Starting from version 2.18.0, the following interfaces have undergone significant changes. Therefore, when upgrading from an older version to version 2.16.0, please read the following guidelines.

Callback on receiving one-to-one messages

The deprecated callback receivePeerMessage for receiving one-to-one messages has been replaced by peerMessageReceived.

The new callback supports the following features:

  • When a user is online, they can receive one-to-one messages through this callback.
  • When a user logs back into the ZIM SDK, they can receive all one-to-one messages received during their offline period (up to 7 days).
Untitled
// New callback
- (void)zim:(ZIM *)zim
    peerMessageReceived:(NSArray<ZIMMessage *> *)messageList
                   info:(ZIMMessageReceivedInfo *)info
             fromUserID:(NSString *)fromUserID;

// Old callback
- (void)zim:(ZIM *)zim
    receivePeerMessage:(NSArray<ZIMMessage *> *)messageList
            fromUserID:(NSString *)fromUserID;

Callback on receiving room messages

The deprecated callback receiveRoomMessage for receiving room messages has been replaced by roomMessageReceived.

The new callback supports the following features:

  • When a user is online, they can receive online room messages through this callback.
  • When a user goes from offline to online and is still in the room, they can receive all room messages that were sent during their offline period through this callback.
Untitled
// New callback
- (void)zim:(ZIM *)zim
    roomMessageReceived:(NSArray<ZIMMessage *> *)messageList
                   info:(ZIMMessageReceivedInfo *)info
             fromRoomID:(NSString *)fromRoomID;

// Old callback
- (void)zim:(ZIM *)zim
    receiveRoomMessage:(NSArray<ZIMMessage *> *)messageList
            fromRoomID:(NSString *)fromRoomID;

Callback on receiving group messages

The deprecated callback receiveGroupMessage for receiving group messages has been replaced by groupMessageReceived.

The new callback supports the following features:

  • When the user is online, they can receive online group messages through this callback.
  • When the user logs back into the ZIM SDK, they can receive all group chat messages received during the offline period (up to 7 days) through this callback.
Untitled
// New callback
- (void)zim:(ZIM *)zim
    groupMessageReceived:(NSArray<ZIMMessage *> *)messageList
                    info:(ZIMMessageReceivedInfo *)info
             fromGroupID:(NSString *)fromGroupID;

// Old callback
- (void)zim:(ZIM *)zim
    receiveGroupMessage:(NSArray<ZIMMessage *> *)messageList
            fromGroupID:(NSString *)fromGroupID;

2.16.0 upgrade guide

Warning

Starting from version 2.16.0, the following interfaces have undergone significant changes. Therefore, when upgrading from an older version to version 2.16.0, please read the following guidelines.

callCancel

Note

The following changes only apply to Advanced Mode call invitations.

In the new version of callCancelWithInvitees, if the parameter userIDs contains a userID, the interface will only cancel the invitation for that callee. If the userIDs parameter is empty, the interface will cancel the invitation for all callees.

For the old version of the callCancelWithInvitees interface, regardless of whether the userIDs parameter is empty or not, it is considered as canceling the invitation for all callees.

Since the old version of the ZIM SDK is not compatible with individual cancellation logic, if you need to retain the cancellation logic implemented using the old version of ZIM while also using the new version's individual cancellation feature, please isolate the call functionality between the old and new versions of ZIM.

Usage in version 2.16.0
Usage in old versions
ZIMCallCancelConfig *cancelConfig = [[ZIMCallCancelConfig alloc] init];
// Cancel userIdA and userIdB individually
[[ZIM getInstance] callCancelWithInvitees:@[@"userIdA",@"userIdB"] callID:@"callId" config:cancelConfig callback:^(NSString * _Nonnull callID, NSArray<NSString *> * _Nonnull errorInvitees, ZIMError * _Nonnull errorInfo) {
    
}];

// Cancel the entire call invitation, can be called successfully when none of the callees in the call have accepted    
[[ZIM getInstance] callCancelWithInvitees:@[] callID:@"callId" config:cancelConfig callback:^(NSString * _Nonnull callID, NSArray<NSString *> * _Nonnull errorInvitees, ZIMError * _Nonnull errorInfo) {
    
}];
