Notes

For developers who have been using Swift before version 5.2.4, code modifications are required according to the standardization requirements; otherwise, some interfaces may fail to compile or trigger warnings. Below are two modification examples for reference:

  • Fetching Chatroom Information

    • SDK < 5.2.4

      RCIMClient.shared().getChatRoomInfo("", count: 1, order: .chatRoom_Member_Asc) { (roomInfo: RCChatRoomInfo?) in
          let targetId = roomInfo?.targetId
      } error: { (errorCode: RCErrorCode) in
          print("error code: \(errorCode.rawValue)")
      }

    • SDK ≥ 5.2.4

      RCIMClient.shared().getChatRoomInfo("", count: 1, order: .chatRoom_Member_Asc) { (roomInfo: RCChatRoomInfo) in
          let targetId = roomInfo.targetId
      } error: { (errorCode: RCErrorCode) in
          print("error code: \(errorCode.rawValue)")
      }

  • Fetching Messages

    • SDK < 5.2.4
