Official SwiftUI SDK for Stream Chat.

What are you trying to achieve?

I am trying to open the chat window between two members, I have created a channel specifying the two members. Now instead of open the chat listing i want to open 1-1 window directly.

If possible, how can you achieve this currently?

What would be the better way?

What are you trying to achieve?

Hello. I am trying to modify composer view. I have two issues right now.

1. change height of inputs and buttons

2. change background color of whole composer view.

What would be the better way?

1. Would be nice to have separate prop under Appearance to set height of input view. Right now I can not change it.
2. I can change the background color of whole composer view, but it discards changes for input. So would be nice to have separate prop under colors to set ComposerViewType background color in Appearance

What did you do?

I am trying to create a channel using createchannel method of stream SDK.

What did you expect to happen?

I am expecting the channel will be created.

What happened instead?

But I get below error.

{
  "code" : 17,
  "message" : "GetOrCreateChannel failed with error: \"User 'c70c4c05-1a9d-48c3-a97d-a0f1ba02c554' with roles ['user', 'channel_member'] is not allowed to perform action RecreateChannel in scope 'messaging'\"",
  "more_info" : "https:\/\/getstream.io\/chat\/docs\/api_errors_response",
  "StatusCode" : 403,
  "duration" : "0.00ms"
})

I am using below line of code to create a channel.

channelController = try? chatClient.channelController(createDirectMessageChannelWith: [skillrId, seekrId], type: .messaging, isCurrentUserMember: true, name: receiverName, extraData: [:])
            channelController?.synchronize { [weak self] (err) in
                //            self?.channelId = channelController?.channel?.cid
                if let error = err {
                    self?.isConnectionFailed = true
                    self?.errorString = String(localized: "Chat.Error.ChannelCreation")
                    logger.error("There is an error: \(error)", category: .userContext)
                    return
                }
                self?.navigateToChat = true
            }

What did you do?

Go to a thread. Activate keyboard. Go to the settings while keyboard is shown. Go back.

What did you expect to happen?

You expect keyboard and composer to be visible.

What happened instead?

Keyboard disappeared. Composer is active.

This bug reproduces on the demo app.

What did you do?

I connected the stream by providing my avatar URL, but when i try to have a chat with other member i don't see his image in the chat. Neither in chat list view nor in one-one chat.

What did you expect to happen?

The receiver image be shown to sender and vice versa.

What happened instead?

I found a nil image but get the name of the receiver.

here is the code which returns me name but no image. Its the default SDK function.

func getReceiverNameImageUrl(){
        let controller = chatClient.memberListController(query: .init(cid: channel.cid))
        controller.synchronize() { error in
            if error == nil{
                let receiver = controller.members.filter({$0.name != currentUserName}).first
                if let receiverName = receiver?.name{
                    self.receiverName = receiverName
                }
                if let receiverImageUrl = receiver?.imageURL?.description{
                    self.receiverImageUrl = receiverImageUrl
                }
            }
        }
    }

and to connect members i have used this piece of code.

chatClient.connectUser(
           userInfo: .init(id: userAuthenticationManager?.userDetails?.id ?? "",
                           name: userAuthenticationManager?.userDetails?.displayName ?? "",
                           imageURL: URL(string: imageString)!),
           token: token
       ) { error in
           if let error = error {
               log.error("failed to connect the user with stream \(error)")
           } else {
               log.error("user connected with the stream sdk")
           }
       }

and to create a channel I use this piece of code.

channelController = try? chatClient.channelController(createDirectMessageChannelWith: [skillrId,seekrId], name: receiverName, extraData: [:])
        
        /// 3: Call `ChatChannelController.synchronize` to create the channel.
        channelController?.synchronize { error in
            if let error = error {
                /// 4: Handle possible errors
                logger.error("There is an error in creating channel: \(error)", category: .userContext)
                onComplete("Channel creation failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
                return
            }
            onComplete(nil)
        }

What did you do?

In our app, users are added and removed from admin panel which call the server to execute addMembers and removeMembers on different channels.

Use case: Step 1: Keep the app open as all channels of user are visible Step 2: Remove the user from a channel using removeMembers method call from server

What did you expect to happen?

Expectation was that the chat screen would update and that particular channel will be removed from the chat list immediately.

What happened instead?

The channel wasn't removed from the chat list and user was able to interact with that channel. Even switching app from background to foreground does not update the chat list. Also in this scenario, when app is brought from background to foreground then clicking on any channel in chat list would crash the app.

What are you trying to achieve?

• Due to some reasons, I have to move ComposerInputView into my app.
• Found that I doesn't have access to the internal views like ComposerTextInputView, AddedFileAttachmentsView, FileAttachmentDisplayView etc... I don't want to do any changes to these views.
• But It is not public accessible, I have to move these views manually into my app and use them from there.
• Doing this, there are many duplicate codes at the end. Please make it public accessible.

If possible, how can you achieve this currently?

• copy-paste ComposerInputView along with internal views to the app and use it.

What would be the better way?

• Making public accessible will solve the problem

You get repeatedly kicked out of threads in channels with messages containing custom attachments.

This is a follow-on issue to one I previously created: https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-swiftui/issues/144.

3 days ago, when I mentioned that ^ this issue was fixed for me, I was testing in the DemoAppSwiftUI target that comes in the Stream SwiftUI project. However, I found I was still getting kicked out of threads in our own app. I thought it must have been in our code (how we were using Stream), but then I had the idea to switch DemoAppSwiftUI to log into our team’s Stream app (loading our channels instead of the default Star Wars-themed sample app that the demo app logs into automatically), and I was then able to reproduce the issue in the DemoAppSwiftUI app! But only when pointing it to our organization’s Stream chat channel content.

The only notable difference I can think of between the chat content in the Star Wars test channels, and our team’s channels, is we have custom attachments. It looks like this navigation issue only occurs when you navigate into threads where the channel contains custom attachments. I cannot reproduce this issue in channels where there are zero custom attachments.

For reference, our Stream app ID is 1176001.

What did you do?

I created a message that includes a custom attachment in a channel. Then I followed the Stream SwiftUI tutorials to create a simple app that uses ChatChannelListView() to show the messages.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to be able to navigate into threads without being kicked back out to the channel.

What happened instead?

When I navigate into a thread, I get repeatedly kicked out of the thread, back to the channel.

In order to reproduce this issue, two things must be true:

1. The thread you navigate into should be in a channel that has a custom attachment.
2. You need to first navigate into the thread, then back into the channel, then into the thread again. It does not happen the 1st time you navigate into a thread, but happens every time after that/

Here’s a demo video showing the issue:

I’ve invited @martinmitrevski to view the private project I’m demoing ^ here: https://github.com/earbudsdev/juststream. I would make it public, but I committed our Stream app’s API key to the project, to make it easier for you to quickly clone and run to reproduce the issue.

What are you trying to achieve?

I want to achieve WhatsApp-style navigation where I have a TabView for the top-level navigation of the app, but when ChatChannelView is pushed, the bottom toolbar is hidden.

What I initially tried:

TabView {
   HomeView()
   ChatChannelListView() // <--- This has a NavigationView inside
}

Now when I tap on a thread, the ChatChannelView is nested inside the TabView. So the TextField input is not at the bottom of the screen but rather nested inside the TabView.

In UIKit, there is hidesBottomBarWhenPushed to configure this, but there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to do so in SwiftUI?

Next I tried this:

NavigationView {
  TabView {
    HomeView()
    ChatChannelListViewWithoutNavigation() // <=== by copy-pasting ChatChannelListView and editing it
  }
}

This could work but it would be nice if ChatChannelListView allows me to customize it without copy-pasting? In this setup, there also appears to be a nasty SwiftUI bug on iOS 15 where if you background the app, the ChatChannelView automatically gets popped ....

If possible, how can you achieve this currently?

Right now, I am copy-pasting ChannelListView into CustomChannelListView and modifying the file to get rid of the NavigationView. Ideally, StreamChatSwiftUI SDK should let me customize that ...

What would be the better way?

See above

I tried to find this query in the official documentation and also went through the SDK options but couldn't find a simple way to do this. We have similar customization in Android and there it is very simple to hide search bar and disable chat swipe gesture.

I navigated into a channel from ChatChannelListView and viewed all of the messages in it, as well as all of the messages in the threads. I expected the unread count badge to clear. The unread badge count persists — it remains at 11.

The best channel for you to look at while investigating this issue is messaging:clasawcx2000801bauzyjfoxs on the Stream app 1217037. This channel’s content is very simple: it has two messages and zero replies or reactions.

This issue exists in our JustStream project — an Xcode project we created that contains zero customizations except for introducing StreamChatSwiftUI’s ChatChannelListView.

This issue is present in our test environment where we often hard delete users and content. Our app-specific database also includes hints that this channel used to have more messages in it than are currently visible. We suspect that the unread count was incremented with new messages, then those messages were (somehow) deleted by the user, or by the user deleting their account, and now those message cannot be seen, so the unread badge persists forever, unable to be cleared.

Attached video should work like a normal message. On which user can perform actions like react, delete etc

What happened instead?

User not able to react to message or delete message.

What did you do?

Hi! In our app we are showing chats and people, talk enough that you'll need to scroll back to read it all.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected that I could scroll up and the ChatChannelView would show older messages.

What happened instead?

Sometimes it works, other times it does not, with no info I can see in the console as to why. It's inconsistent as you navigate in and out of a channel.
