5. Audio and Video Calls

Q-municate using QuickBlox WebRTC SDK as call service. You can find more information on it here.

5.1 Calls controller

Call controller has 6 states:

• Incoming audio call
• Incoming video call
• Outgoing audio call
• Outgoing video call
• Active audio call
• Active video call

Call controller is been managed by QMCallManager, basically call manager allocating it with a specific state, whether it is an incoming or outgoing call, then call controller changing its state to active one if required user accepts it.

5.2 Audio Call

You can see down below Incoming, outgoing and active audio call screens.

Toolbar buttons

• Incoming call:
  • Decline - declines call and closes received session and controller
  • Accept - accepts call and changes call controller state to Active audio call
• Outgoing and active call:
  • Microphone - disables microphone for current call
  • Speaker - whether sound should be played in speaker or receiver. Default for audio calls is receiver.
  • Decline - hanging up current all and closing controller

5.3 Video Call

You can see down below Incoming, outgoing and active video call screens.

By default sound for video calls is in speakers.

• Incoming call:
  • Decline - declines call and closes received session and controller
  • Accept - accepts call and changes call controller state to Active video call
• Outgoing and active call:
  • Camera - enables/disables camera for current call
  • Camera rotation - changes camera for current call (front/back)
  • Microphone - disables microphone for current call
  • Decline - hanging up current all and closing controller

5.4 Call Kit

CallKit allows to integrate calling services with other call-related apps on the system. CallKit provides the calling interface, and we handle the back-end communication with our VoIP service. For incoming and outgoing calls, CallKit displays the same interfaces as the Phone app, giving Q-municate application a more native look and feel.

6. Extensions

6.1 Share extension

Share extension gives users a convenient way to share content with other entities. Available types for sharing:

• Locations
• URL

Upgrade to last SDK version

Hi,
I'm evaluating your solution. Q-Communicate would be a possible app to reuse but the problem is that it's using a previous QuickBlox SDK, version 2.6.5. Current SDK version is v2.7. Migrating to v2.7 requires some extra work, not convenient for me. In order to going forward with the decision, could you please help with some answers:
-Till what date will you accept in the server requests from version 2.6.5?
-Any requests/functions implemented in v2.6.5 have become out of service?

Thanks.

Returned dialogs list is not accurate in two ways, help needed!

By using this method: [ServicesManager.instance.chatService.dialogsMemoryStorage dialogsSortByUpdatedAtWithAscending:NO], we expect to get all the dialogs the current user is in, but the returned dialogs list is not accurate in two ways:

1. It lost some dialogs, and we're sure data limit of 'page' parameter is not the reason here;
2. It still returns the dialogs where the user has already left.

Could you please help have a check? Or is there some other way to get the correct dialogs list?

Thank you very much.

{
// Retrieving dialogs sorted by updatedAt date from memory storage.

Chat dialogs list screen does not list any previous chat history after clearing app from device memory

I downloaded the latest iOS app and found out that the Chat dialogs list screen doesn't list any previous chat history after clearing the app from device memory. I would need to go to Contacts screen, and click on individual contact and Send message link to retrieve the existing chat history, then go back to Chats screen and the chat history will then appear.

Logout and relogin doesn't have this issue but after clearing the app from the device memory, this issue occurs. I'm testing with my connected iPhone 7 in Xcode.

Anyone else is facing this issue?

1. We allowed in settings of our application(Web) to download users :- Check "Allow to retrieve a list of users".
2. We search the users Locally and Globally but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Custom Q-municate implementation error

NSParameterAssert([QMCore instance].currentProfile.userData); always crash on this line ...

Can not run QMServices 0.4.4

Here is the error after update to 0.4.4

Not able to run the project

I downloaded the project Q-municate-ios. I tried to run the project and when i entered the Phone number. It shows the error "Something went wrong, Please try again later".

Please see the screen shot.

Offline status not updated

When one user logs out, the other users continue to see them in 'online' instead of 'offline'. In the test, only after 20 minutes the correct status appeared.

To reproduce the error:
1)Run app in simulator, login as user A with Facebook
2)Run app in iPhone 5s, login as user B
3)From each app, add user as contact user A or B
4)In app (1), logout user A
5)In app (2) The status for user A should appear as 'offline', instead we can see the 'online' label in several views (Contacts, Contact details, ...)

q-comunicate version: 29/Feb/2016
IOS version (iPhone): 9.2.1
IOS version (sim): 8.4

Login problem

After replacing the credentials still i'm able to login into.
Please guide me

I don't know what is the problem but I'm not able to build it with XCode 6.3. It's giving me errors on many places.
My OS X Version is: 10.11 (15A282b) El Capitan.

Can You please give me any solution to build it successfully. That would be good practise for my project.

Thanks.

Apple Reject Binary for using UIBackgroundMode for Audio.

Guideline 2.5.4 - Performance - Software Requirements

Your app declares support for audio in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but did not include features that require persistent audio.

The audio key is intended for use by apps that provide audible content to the user while in the background, such as music player or streaming audio apps. Please revise your app to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.

Next Steps

The audio key is intended for use by apps that provide audible content to the user while in the background, such as music player or streaming audio apps. Please revise your app to provide audible content to the user while the app is in the background or remove the "audio" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key.

We have just change the first screen where we have use our own two-step verification system using Sinch SDK. And second change is in Contact Screen. We display users to each other depend on phone number saving in their iPhone Contact.
We have faced this reject many time. We first make our own application from scratch we get the same rejection reason and then we decide to use Q-Municate as it is apple approved application but after making above mentioned changes in your app and then submit we face that same previous issue on UIBackgroundModes for audio.

Logout throwing uncaught exception of type NSException

I downloaded the ios app and replaced the app credentials as instructed in https://quickblox.com/developers/Q-municate#Q-municate_iOS

The following exception thrown whenever Logout is clicked:
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

And the following line under the function main() in q-municate-ios-master/Q-municate/Supporting Files/main.m gets highlighted:
return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([QMAppDelegate class]));

Anyone else is facing the similar issue?

p/s I also noticed that the above error happens when we click on Settings -> Profile Image -> Take Image

Error in QMChatCacheModel bundle

ERROR ITMS-90542: "Invalid CFBundleSupportedPlatforms value. The key 'CFBundleSupportedPlatforms' in the Info.plist file in bundle 'Payload/HeartKeeper.app/QMChatCacheModel.bundle' contains an invalid value '[iPhoneSimulator]'. Consider removing the CFBundleSupportedPlatforms key from the Info.plist. If this bundle is part of a third-party framework, consider contacting the developer of the framework for an update to address this issue."

I have Installed the pods but QMServicesDevelopment Pod not get installed. And When I try to integrate Core classes of Q-municate Project it gives the error "Expected a type" for QB_NULLABLE.

Kindly suggest me the steps how to integrate and what classes to be integrated to use QuickBlox Chat and Video feature in my Project.
