API Deprecation Notice: v3/files for Image Moderation

We'd like to announce that we will be deprecating v3/files API in favor of v4/images API for our image moderation feature. Effective 1 January 2024, v3/files will no longer support image moderation. If you are using v3/files to upload images, we recommend that you switch to using v4/images instead.

To ensure a smoother transition process, we have already updated the iOS and Android SDKs in version 6.6.0, as well as Flutter SDK beta 0.21.0 to point to the new endpoint for uploadImage(). Therefore, if you wish to continue using the image moderation feature, you will need to upgrade to Android or iOS SDK 6.6.0 or higher; or Flutter beta 0.21.0 before 1 January 2024. After this date, v3/files and any SDKs below the aforementioned versions will no longer support image moderation. There is no impact to TypeScript SDK users as the SDK is already using v4/images.

What this means if you wish to continue having images moderated:

Android & iOS: You will need to upgrade to Android or iOS SDK 6.6.0 or higher (or UIKit 3.1.0 or higher), before 1 January 2024. After this date, v3/files and any SDK version below 6.6.0 (or UIKit 3.0.0 and below) will no longer support image moderation
Flutter: You will need to upgrade to Flutter SDK beta 0.21.0 or higher, before 1 January 2024. After this date, v3/files and any SDK version below beta 0.21.0 will no longer support image moderation
TypeScript: There is no impact to TypeScript SDK users as the TS SDK is already using v4/images

If you have any concerns or questions about this deprecation notice, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.

We're excited to share with you the latest updates across our SDKs! 🎊 🎊

TypeScript SDK: we've introduced Live Object, which provides real-time updates for user follower and following counts through the liveGetMyFollowInfo method.

Additionally, liveGetFollowInfo now returns more data, including the follow status between the target user and the SDK method caller. You can learn more about these updates here. Furthermore, we have fixed the issue when calling liveMessages for the second time and return an empty result.
Android SDK: we're thrilled to announce official support for Kotlin Coroutines. This powerful feature streamlines asynchronous programming, enabling android developers to write more concise and modern code. For more information on this update, please refer to this page. Please note that this release also includes the deprecation of several APIs. For details, please refer to Android SDK v6.5.0 Deprecation Note.
iOS SDK: we've applied key improvements from legacy versions, addressing issues such as random crashes during AmityClient initialization and while watching live stream videos. Please note that this release also includes the deprecation of several APIs. For details, please refer to iOS SDK v6.5.0 Deprecation Note.

Last but not least, we're proud to present the UIKit 3.0, powered by SDK version 6. This release unlocks the full potential of UIKit's capabilities, while keeping you up-to-date with the latest features in the SDK.

The issue of the fourth vote item getting clipped vertically in the AmityPostDetailViewController has been resolved. Users can now see all voting items in the view without clipping or partial hiding.

The issue with creating posts has been fixed. Users are now redirected back to the community page after creating a post instead of going to the menu list page.

This feature will enable users to better express their emotions and ideas, provide additional context, and clarify complex concepts. Additionally, with the increased engagement potential of images, users can expect higher levels of interaction and understanding, and businesses can utilize images to promote their products and services, generate leads and showcase customer success stories. Upgrade your communication with our new image feature today!

In JavaScript SDK, introduced Session States and SessionHandler functionalities, which enhance app security and user experience by allowing developers to describe the authentication process per client device and build app navigation based on session states. SessionHandler is required during login to communicate with the app when session handling is necessary. These new features provide more efficient and secure authentication processes for users.

In addition, TypeScript SDK announced two new features that will revolutionize the way users interact with communities: Live Community Objects and Live Community Members. With Live Community objects, any changes made to the community object will be instantly reflected, keeping users up-to-date with the latest information without having to manually refresh or update the object.

Additionally, Live Community Members allows for real-time event data changes to a collection of community members, including join/leave events, user bans, and role changes. Users can even query based on specific parameters such as membership status or user search. Get the most out of your community experience with these new features today!

Managed UI Kit Deprecation Announcement

21 June 2022

Amity Social Cloud will be deprecating all managed versions of the UI Kits (IOS, Android and Web J.S.) on 31 August 2022 as requests to be able to further customize their look and feel have increased. Our UI Kits were built to enable even faster integration of our social and chat features. In January this year, we open sourced all our UI Kits to provide our customers with more flexibility and greater customization options. Since then, we have seen a shift towards the open source version as it gives complete control over the visual style while keeping the integration time as short as possible.

To ensure that you continue to receive the latest updates and improvements, we encourage you to migrate over to the open source version. We’ve written instruction guides to help you migrate to the open source version, get the latest updates, and contribute to the project all available below.

What happens once the managed version UI Kit is deprecated?

Once the managed version is deprecated, we will transition our support to the open source UI Kit for any bug requests and releases of new features. You will still be able to use the managed UI Kit, however it will no longer be receiving further updates. All documentation relating to the managed UI Kit version will be moved to the deprecation notice section. Any ongoing improvements will be made to the open source version under the Lesser General Public License (GNU).

Starting from 26 April 2021, new SDK downloads will no longer contain follow/unfollow function and newly-generated API key will not be able to use the features. User profile, groups and feed features will remain unaffected. Existing customers who are already using the feature should also remain unaffected.

Our priority is to ensure we scale our system architecture to meet the increasing demand from our existing customers who are using the system to actively grow their community. Our engineering team is working to bring these features back to General Availability release by June 2021. Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to our onboarding customers.
