What did you do?

Integrated GetStream to Xcode Project

  pod 'Alamofire'
  pod 'GetStream', '~> 2.2.2'

Initialized GetStream on AppDelegate :

Client.config = .init(apiKey: "XXXXX", appId: "XXXX", logsEnabled: true)
Client.shared.setupUser(token: "XXXXX") { (result) in
      // THIS IS SUCCESSFUL
}

On the ViewController, trying to fetch the activities from a feed (which have activities inside)

let userFeed = Client.shared.flatFeed(feedSlug: "FLAT_FEED_ID", userId: "LOGGED_USER_ID")

let activity = Activity(actor: User.current!, verb: "pin", object: "Place:72482734")

userFeed.add(activity) { result in
    if let activity = try? result.get() {
          print(activity.id)
     } else {
          print("FAILED")
     }
}

userFeed.get() { result in
        print(result)
}

What did you expect to happen?

userFeed.add(activity) { result in
   print("Callback called") // ----> This should get called?
   if let activity = try? result.get() {
        print(activity.id) // ----> This should get called?
   } else {
       print("FAILED") // ----> This should get called?
    }
}

userFeed.get() { result in
        print(result) // ----------> This should print out a result?
}

What happened instead?

userFeed.add(activity) { result in
   print("Callback called") // ----> Never called
   if let activity = try? result.get() {
         print(activity.id) // ----> Never called
   } else {
         print("FAILED") // ----> Never called
   }
}

userFeed.get() { result in
        print(result) // ---->  Never called
}

However, since I have the logsEnabled to true, I'm able to see the raw JSON values in the Xcode Console with all my activities from that feed. The activities are successfully posted to the feed but the closures are just not called.

Additional context

I've also tried removing all the pods and installing GetStream using pod 'GetStream' instead of version 2.2.2, but I have the same issue even on a fresh install.

I am trying to fetch the activity feed with the below code:

               self.timeline = Client.shared.flatFeed(feedSlug: "timeline")
                
                if let timeline = self.timeline {
                    print(timeline)
                    timeline.get(typeOf: FeedItem.self, enrich: false, pagination: .limit(50)) { r in
                        print("WHY!")
                        print(try! r.get().results)
                    }
                }

My FeedItem class looks like:

import GetStream

struct Data: Codable {
    var source: String
    var externalId: String
    var title: String
    var excerpt: String
    var image: String?
    var url: String
    var published: String
}

final public class FeedItem : EnrichedActivity<User, String, DefaultReaction> { 

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case data
    }
    
    var data: Data

    
    required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        
        print("Decoding")
        let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        data = try container.decode(Data.self, forKey: .data)
        print(data)

        print("DONE")
        try super.init(from: decoder)
        print("Finished")
    }
    
    required init(actor: ActorType, verb: Verb, object: ObjectType, foreignId: String? = nil, time: Date? = nil, feedIds: FeedIds? = nil, originFeedId: FeedId? = nil) {
        fatalError("init(actor:verb:object:foreignId:time:feedIds:originFeedId:) has not been implemented")
    }
    
    
    override public func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        try container.encode(data, forKey: .data)

        try super.encode(to: encoder)
    }
}

The error I am getting:

GetStream version: 2.2.3

What did you do?

I am calling flatbed.add by passing the activity which I would like to add.

What did you expect to happen?

The completion block is executed and it goes into the .success case.

What happened instead?

The code goes out of guard when checking for self object. Due to that fact, the completion block is never executed.

Additional context

However, that's happening only in code. When I check the get stream.io platform I can see that my activity is added successfully to the chosen feed id.

Please wrap code blocks in backticks, like so:

 
        let jalalFeed = Client.shared.flatFeed(feedSlug: "timeline", userId: "Jalal_Hussain")
        
        jalalFeed.get(pagination: .limit(10)) { result in
            do {
                let response = try result.get()
                print(response.results)
            } catch let error {
                print(error.localizedDescription)
            }
        }

What did you do?

I have set the client configuration with api key, appid and token. I have tested the token with rest API of Feed fetch and it is working over there.

What did you expect to happen?

I want to get feed using Stream-swift SDK. But it did not call completion block of jalalFeed.get.

What happened instead?

It should call the completion block of jalalFeed.get.

I followed the documentation exactly, in multiple places it is mentioned to initialize the Stream Swift client like this:

Client.config = .init(apiKey: "<#ApiKey#>", appId: "<#AppId#>", token: "<#Token#>")

It mentions this:

• Here, in this repository's own README
• Here in the main Stream Swift docs

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the documentation to be useful and accurate

What happened instead?

It turns out the API interface has changed, as depicted here, so my application broke with a bunch of compile-time errors, despite using the latest version of the package and following the documentation exactly

feed!.add(activity) {result in
    print(result)

What did you expect to happen?

Activity is posted to feed

What happened instead?

I get a 404

Additional context

Is this caused because I'm using a string actor? The token is generated for the same user id (in this case "user") that the activity uses. When I use the User object, it works fine.

Hi there!

I'm attempting to add a custom activity type, by subclassing Activity, but there seems to be inconsistencies between the guides and the repo.

The guides say that actor should be a string, and the example subclass in Custom Fields, takes in string as an actor, as seen by the super.init call. However the repo seems to force actor to be a User. This causes issues with our backend as we have our actors as strings, and not objects.

How can I specify the actor to be a String and not a User.

Thanks!

What did you do?

I am trying to retrieve single activity with id but I can't reach latest reactions and own reactions. I ve tried to fetched with channel code but at some point I don't have that information. We should have parameter such as includeReactions for get method over FlatFeed. Here is my code piece to fetch single activity without channel code (there is no parameter to specify if should fetch reactions etc for current get method).

        Client.shared.get(typeOf: T.self, activityIds: [id]) { (result) in
            switch result {
            case .success(let response):
                success(response.results.first)
            case .failure(let error):
                failure?(error)
            }
        }

What did you expect to happen?

We couldn't access latest & own reactions while fetching single activity.

I have a project in that we have page called community when all user can post so I need to subscribe to get updates

let userFeed = Client.shared.flatFeed(feedSlug: "community", userId: community_id_here)

userFeed.subscribe(typeOf: GetStreamActivity.self, subscription: { result in
switch result {
case .success(let activities):
// Handle received activities
print("Received activities: (activities)")
case .failure(let error):
// Handle subscription error
print("Failed to subscribe: (error)")
}
})

        This never print  Received activities or Failed to subscribe
        
        Please help me

Adding custom activities in a feed causes a parsing error unless the entire feed contains the same activities

final class GossipActivity: EnrichedActivity<GetStream.User, String, DefaultReaction> {
    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case user
    }
    
    var user: AvatarLead

    init(verb: Verb, object: String, user: AvatarLead, startDate: Date = Date()) {
        self.user = user
        super.init(actor: .init(id: user.id), verb: verb, object: object)
    }
    
    required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws {
        let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        user = try container.decode(AvatarLead.self, forKey: .user)
        try super.init(from: decoder)
    }
    
    override public func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws {
        var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self)
        try container.encode(user, forKey: .user)
        try super.encode(to: encoder)

self.userFeed?.get(typeOf: GossipActivity.self, completion: { result in
            switch result {

                    print(e)
            }
        })

This is dangerous because if one activity does not confirm to GossipActivity then the entire feed disappears.

            client.add(reactionTo: activity.id, kindOf: "like", completion: { (_) in
                completion()

Looks like there may have been some drift, as signatures and return types have changed and the following snippet won't compile.

https://github.com/GetStream/stream-swift/wiki/Realtime-updates

Do you have any recent usage snippets? I've poked around the source but I might be missing something. Is it possible to just get these message payloads without needing to conform to an activity type? Also, are there any low level connection reference documentation (so I can avoid digging through the sdks) for real time? Since my scope is very narrow i'd prefer to establish these sockets myself in exchange for the users jwt token.

I'll dig into the sdks, but if you have any hints would be great. It might even make more sense for me to create a new channel between my own client/server socket and just push out those messages myself when I get them upstream from my firehose.

I have tried using the tentative fix contained in cd5dffc but did not help either.

I am not sure what to do next, because it seems like there is some kind of race condition, maybe due to the memory management in the background thread.

Apart from that, in general third party SDKs should minimize dependencies to external libraries to slim them as much as possible, so I wonder why do you need Moya at all instead of implementing the calls yourselves.

What did you expect to happen?

No crash an no big dependencies like Moya or Alamofire included in the SDK

What happened instead?

Crash 0.1% of the sessions (90% of our total crashes)

Hi,

What did you do?

We integrated stream-swift using SPM, and our iOS app runs well using the tutorial test credentials (appKey, appId, token, user)

Now we are trying to generate the token on our server side:
"$client->users()->add('1068811', ['name' => 'Marc Team']);" (PHP)

On the iOS client side we initialize the Stream Client:
"Client.config = .init(apiKey: "xxxxxx", appId: "xxxxxx", logsEnabled: true)"

Using the token retrieved from the server we try the setup:
"Client.shared.setupUser(User(..), token: streamToken).."

What did you expect to happen?

"Client.shared.setupUser" should return "success"

What happened instead?

we get the error:
"Client.shared.create failed with : Client setup: The current user id is empty"

Debugging inside the GetStream package, seems like when retrieving the user_id from the token it comes as an Integer and it fails because it expects a String:

"
/// A user id from the Token.
public var userId: String? {
return payload?["user_id"] as? String // -> this returns nill
}
"

when, using a breakpoint on the previous line ^, and capturing this in the console:
"
payload?[“user_id”] as? Int // returns the correct user_id
"

GetStream Environment

**GetStream version: 2.2.3
**Xcode version: 12.2
**Swift version: 5
**Platform(s) running GetStream: iOS
**macOS version running Xcode: Catalina 10.15.7

Additional context

When requesting a user from the server side we get a correct user id as a String:
"
[
"created_at" => "2020-12-11T18:34:36.883063Z"
"updated_at" => "2020-12-11T18:34:36.883063Z"
"id" => "1068811"
"data" => array:1 [
"name" => "Marc Team"
]
"duration" => "3.97ms"
]
"

Thank you

Moya 14.0.0 -> 14.0.0 (latest version 15.0.0), Nuke 8.4.1 -> 8.4.1 (latest version 10.7.1)

What did you do?

// Setup a shared Stream Client.
Client.config = .init(apiKey: "<#ApiKey#>", appId: "<#AppId#>")

// Setup a Stream user, when your user was logged in.
Client.shared.setupUser(token: token) { _ in
// Do all your requests from here. Reload feeds and etc.
}

What did you expect to happen?

The thing to actually work

What happened instead?

The Stream Feed Client didn't setup properly. You are trying to use it before setup the API Key.

GetStream Environment

GetStream version: pod 'GetStream', '2.2.2'
Xcode version: Xcode 12.3
Swift version: 5
Platform(s) running GetStream: iOS
macOS version running Xcode: Big Sur

Additional context

I think that your documentation is completely out of date, can't make this thing to work.

I also tried this:

// import GetStream
// Setup Stream client (server side)
let client = Client(apiKey: "YOUR_API_SECRET", appId: "APP_ID", token: "FEED_TOKEN")

You get:
'Client' initializer is inaccessible due to 'private' protection level
