A new release of the iOS SDK and the iOS Matrix Console app is available on GitHub: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk.

If you use CocoaPods to manage your application dependencies, note that the Matrix SDK pod has been updated too.

The changes since the last release are:

SDK

Improvements:
  • MXFileStore stores data on a separated thread to avoid blocking the UI thread.
  • MXRestClient: Callback blocks in all MXRestClient methods are now optional.
  • MXEvent: Cleaned up exposed properties and added a description for each of them.
Features:
  • Added API for registering for push notifications.
  • Added generic API methods to make any kind of registration or login flow.
  • Added Identity server API: lookup3pid, requestEmailValidation, validateEmail and bind3PID.
  • Management of event redaction: there is a new method in the SDK to redact an event and the SDK updates its data on redaction event.
Bug fixes:
  • SYIOS-5 - Expose registration API
  • SYIOS-44 - Credentials persist across logout
  • SYIOS-54 - Matrix Console app slightly freezes when receiving a message
  • SYIOS-59 - Infinite loop in case of back pagination on new created room
  • MXRoom: Fixed [MXRoom sendTextMessage]

Matrix Console

Improvements:
  • When long pressing on a message, the app shows the JSON string of the Matrix event.
  • On this screen, the user can redact the event - if he has enough power level.
  • Use home server media repository facilities to use lower image size for thumbnails and avatars
  • Settings screen: show build version with the app version.
  • Settings screen: added an option to hide information related to redacted event.
  • Settings screen: added an option to enable reading of local phonebook. The country is required to internationalise phone numbers.
Features:
  • Push notifications.
  • Added a contacts screen that displays Matrix users the user had interactions with and contacts from the device phonebook.
  • Contacts from the device phonebook who have an email linked to a Matrix user id are automatically recognised.
Bug fixes:
  • SYIOS-53 - multilines text input that expands as you type mutiplines would be nice
  • SYIOS-45 - Need to check the thumbnail params requested by iOS
  • SYIOS-55 - High resolution avatars create memory pressure
  • SYIOS-57 - Back pagination does not work well for self chat
  • SYIOS-56 - add cache size handling in settings
  • SYIOS-60 - In a self chat, Console takes ages to paginate back even if messages are in cache
  • SYIOS-61 - Chat room : cannot scroll to bottom when keyboard is opened whereas the growing textview contains multi-lines text.
  • SYIOS-63 - calculate room names for 3+ members if no room name/alias
  • SYIOS-44 - Credentials persist across logout
  • SYIOS-64 - Chat room : unexpected blank lines are added into history when user types in growing textview
  • SYIOS-65 - IOS8 : in case of search in recents, keyboard is not dismisssed when user selects a room.
  • SYIOS-16 Add option in Console to join room thanks to its alias
