    logout()

  • Rename AmityMessageMentionMetadata to AmityMentionMapper

  • Change AmityClient initializer to throwable initializer

    class AmityClient {
        public init(...) throws
    }

  • Change all message creation API in AmityMessageRepository to callback-style Before SDK 5.9.0

    let messageLiveObject = messageRepository.createTextMessage(...)
    token = messageLiveObject.observe(...) {
        // 1. Handle message creation response.
        // 2. Observe message data changes.
    }

    SDK 5.9.0

    let messageId = messageRepository.createTextMessage(...) { message, error in
        // 1. Handle message creation response.
    }
    token = messageRepository.getMessage(messageId).observe {
        // 2. Observe message data changes.
    }

  • Simplify channel creation API Before SDK 5.9.0: The API requires chaining .channelType(with:) after calling .createChannel()

    token = channelRepository.createChannel().community(with: builder).observe { channel, error in
        /// ...
    }

    SDK 5.9.0: The builder can be passed to createChannel(with:) directly

    token = channelRepository.createChannel(with: builder).observe { channel, error in
        /// ...
    }

  • Simplify channel update API Before SDK 5.9.0: Developers need to create an updater and call updater.update()

    let updater = channelRepository.updateChannel(channelId)
    token = updater.update().observe { channel, error in
        // ...
    }

    SDK 5.9.0: Developers can call updateChannel(with:) directly

    token = channelRepository.updateChannel(with: builder).observe { channel, error in
        // ...
    }

  • Simplify channels query API Before SDK 5.9.0: Developers need to create a query builder for a specific channel type. To pass the query builder, developers need to pick the correct channel type function after .getChannel() call

    let builder = AmityCommunityChannelQueryBuilder(...)
    
    let collection = repository.getChannels().communityType(with: builder).query()
    token = collection.observe { collection, error in
        // ...
    }

    SDK 5.9.0: Developers can create a generic AmityChannelQuery and pass it to .getChannels(with:) directly. To filter channel types, developers can set query.types which the value can be found in AmityChannelQueryType.

    let query = AmityChannelQuery()
    query.types = [AmityChannelQueryType.conversation]
    query.filter = .all
    query.includingTags = ["dog"]
    query.excludingTags = ["cat"]
    query.includeDeleted = false
    
    token = channelRepository.getChannels(with: query).observe { collection, error in
        // ...
    }

  • Deprecate the following methods:

            func didChangeConnectionStatus(status: AmityConnectionStatus) { 
                    // Observe connection status change here
            }
            
            func didReceiveError(error: Error) { 
                    // Handle Error
            }
