Usinig the new ShareViewDelegate to dismiss the share extension, might
have broken the "import with signal" functionality. But because we
want to remove it anyway, I've done that now, rather than fix it up.
// FREEBIE
== Account Registration ==
Not complete until push tokens are uploaded
== Remote Notifications Registration ==
Extracted from PushManager
- wait for notification-settings registration to complete before
requesting push tokens, otherwise it's possible token requests will
be ignored.
- Less state required for push notification callbacks, specifically, we
no longer need to ensure we've created a promise before the
registration delegate methods get called.
- no more TOCFuture in Signal-iOS (still in SSK for now). It's not in
cases of inexplicable behavior - one a recently, push notification
premature free, in redphone, and more popular use, and I've seen two
futures inexplicably being nil. Instead, let's consolidate around
PromiseKit for popularly used, maintained, strongly-typed futures.
- separate logic for registering for vanilla push/voip notifications
(few dependencies) from responding to UILocalNotifications (lots of
dependencies). Ultimately I'd like to consolidate the remaining
UILocalNotifications logic with the existing NotificationsManager
== Misc ==
more debug logging
more uniform logging
remove stale logic around newly registered user
// FREEBIE
The only reason a notification wakes/launches the app is to fetch
messages.
However, upon launching, especially if the app had been killed, it can
take a second or two before being notified of the notification that woke
us. Rather than wait, just fetch messages ASAP.
// FREEBIE
* Send read receipts to senders.
* Honor "send read receipts" preference.
* Process read receipts from recipients.
* Refactor "mark as read" logic.
* Serialize and apply recipient read receipts received before sync transcript.
* Show recipient read receipts in conversation view.
// FREEBIE
didBecomeActive is too late in the case of launching from a
notification.
Also, start tracking when app setup is complete, and prevent certain
actions from occurring in that case. Eventually we'll enqueue these
actions rather than ignoring them, but we'll want to do more testing
before releasing that. In the meanwhile, if the environment isn't setup
at this point, a crash would be eminent anyway.
// FREEBIE
* Auto-add new contact threads to profile whitelist when local user sends first message to that thread.
* Ensure dynamic interactions have a non-negative timestamp even if the conversation was empty.
* Only call updateMessageMappingRangeOptions _after_ beginLongLivedReadTransaction and updating messageMappings.
* Improve documentation around how to avoid corrupt mappings in conversation view.
* Fix edge cases around large initial range sizes.
* Always treat dynamic interactions as read.
* Rebuild the “unseen” database views to remove dynamic interactions (see above).
// FREEBIE
* Substitute unread view for unseen view until unseen view is ready.
* Register as many views as possible async.
* Perform blocking, safe migrations before async registration of views.
* Add debug settings view for internal app stats.
* Show blocking overlay until async registration of database views is complete.
* Convert version migrations to use AppVersions.
// FREEBIE
Most commonly this will be after hitting the "compose" button
But also we'll do it in the SignalViewController once you've received a
message.
- get rid blocking contacts nag
- use Contacts framework simplifies logic
- remove dead AB code
// FREEBIE
* Add support for contacts with more than one Signal account using ContactAccount class.
* Use OWSTableViewController in contact-related views.
* Let users add non-contacts to groups.
* Improve the "new group" and "edit group" views.
* Add utility methods for displaying alerts.
* Warn users before discarding unsaved changes in "edit group" view.
* Pull out "contact view helper" to de-duplicate common logic among contact-related views.
* Pull out "group view helper" to de-duplicate common logic among group-related views.
* Pull out new base class for view used to add accounts to groups or the block list.
// FREEBIE
* Ensure all controls visible at all times, on all form factors, even with keyboard active.
* Improve focus (i.e. auto-focus textfield on arrival and after errors).
* Move to programmatic view creation and layout.
* Improve spacing and sizing.
* Replace “change number” button with “back” button.
* Submit code with return key.
* Improve copy for clarity.
// FREEBIE
coordinate SignalProtocol encryption/decryption on a single serial
queue. Previously message sending encrypted on the sending thread, while
message receiving decrypted on the main thread.
// FREEBIE
There isn't much the user can do in response to it, and the user will
get a subsequent "new message" notification when the fallback push
triggers.
// FREEBIE
Because logging-preference was previously stored on the storageManager
this meant we couldn't possible log anything related to the init'ing the
storage manager.
TODO: migrate old logging preference to use the new NSUserDefaults
setting
// FREEBIE
Most likely this would be because the user hasn't unlocked their device
since last restart.
This behavior existed once before, but the startup ordering is pretty
delicate. So, we're now redundantly checking in SSK in case this
delicate startup logic gets mis-ordered again.
Also fixed the AppDelegate method to check for the proper
applicationState, since it will never be "active" in didFinishLaunching.
fixes https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-iOS/issues/1627
// FREEBIE
* Ensure NotificationsManager has dependencies
Otherwise it's easy to mess up the order of the required dependencies.
* move AccountManager into Environment, it's heavy to construct
// FREEBIE
* Separate registering an account from registering for push notifications
* Allows us to complete registration without prompting user for
notification settings.
UX Changes
----------
* Automatically keep push tokens in sync on startup.
Push tokens *can* change, though they rarely do. It happens more often
for people switching between appstore/beta builds.
fixes#1174
* Show alert with registration failure
* add secret 8-tap debug log gesture to registration flow
* Move registration to separate flow
* don't see flash of inbox when first launching
* show useful error messages when given wrong code / no code
* remove background fetch
We werent using it, but only relying on a side effect of it which is
no longer necessary.
Code Changes
------------
* More registration logging.
* Install PromiseKit with carthage
Our dependencies are not yet framework compatible, so we can't use
cocoapods.
* Merge preferences util "category" into superclass.
The immediate reason for this is Swift interop was assuming optional
types were not optional, and exploding when a value was nil.
This is clearer anyway, since we were treating it like a subclass, and
it was the only thing using the class anyway.
* auto-genstrings now searches *.swift (and *.h, which was previously
broken) for translateable strings.
// FREEBIE
fixes#1231
Motivation
----------
Previously when messages failed to send, there was no reason given.
Furthermore, when media messages failed to send there was no indication
that any attempt to send the message even occurred, nor a retry
dialog.
UX Changes
----------
- Show "uploading" status for media
- Show specific error message in retry-send dialog
- Only scroll to bottom when new message is inserted
- Show specific errors when group creation fails
Code Changes
-----------
- Updated incorrect references to TSMessageAdapters which were actually
references to OWSMessageData
- MessageSender was extracted from SSK MessagesManager
- access MessagesManager as property
- idiomatic init/properties for Env
- log contact intersections
- Move scroll-to-bottom animation to main thread.
// FREEBIE
* Per thread settings menu accessed by tapping on thread title
This removed the toggle-phone behavior. You'll be able to see the phone
number in the settings table view.
This removed the "add contact" functionality, although it was already
broken for ios>=9 (which is basically everybody).
The group actions menu was absorbed into this screen
* Added a confirm alert to leave group (fixes#938)
* New Translation Strings
* Extend "Add People" label to fit translations.
* resolved issues with translations not fitting in group menu
* Fix the long standing type warning where TSCalls were assigned to a TSMessageAdapter.
* Can delete info messages
Follow the JSQMVC pattern and put UIResponder-able content in the
messageBubbleContainer. This gives us more functionality *and* allows us
to delete some code. yay!
It's still not yet possible to delete phone messages. =(
* Fixed some compiler warnings.
* xcode8 touching storyboard. So long xcode7!
* Fixup multiline info messages.
We were seeing info messages like "You set disappearing message timer to
10" instead of "You set disappearing message timer to 10 seconds."
Admittedly this isn't a very good fix, as now one liners feel like they
have too much padding.
If the message is well over one line, we were wrapping properly, but
there's a problem when the message is *just barely* two lines, the cell
height grows, but the label still thinks it's just one line (as evinced
by the one line appearing in the center of the label frame. The result
being that the last word of the label is cropped.
* Disable group actions after leaving group.
// FREEBIE
Rather than verifying eachothers keys separately, you now verify the
privacy with your recipient by sharing a single composite number or
QRCode.
This is a breaking change, in coordination with Desktop and Android.
UX
--
Fingeprint is no longer in line with identity key error. Instead you
have the option of going to the full-screen safety number verification
experience.
Overhauled fingerprint design
-----------------------------
* use same modal dismiss button as elsewhere
* remove fingerprint from settings.
* quick slide in animation vs slow fade
* existing was painfully slow
* blur effect is better metaphor for something slide over top
* anyway there was a rendering glitch in the end of fade where
underlying navbar would "snap" out
Also Fixed
----------
Always provide a name string for contact
* Centralize all the nil-checking
* Fall back to "unknown contact"
allow multi-line error messages
// FREEBIE
I botched a migration 6 months ago, which left some lingering TSRecipients serialized in our data store, laying in wait to explode the next time we enumerate every object in the database (e.g. when we add an index).
The bloom filter migration failed to remove TSRecipients in the somewhat rare event that the local user had no downloaded bloom filters. This could happen e.g. if they were low on disk space at the time of running the migration, I believe the app would remove the bloom filter cache.
// FREEBIE
- Using same clang format file for old and new files.
- Moving out all TextSecure code to allow other clients (OS X, iOS) to
integrate easily TextSecure functionality.
- Use TextSecure API to signup.
- Fixing size classes rendering bugs.
- Supporting native iOS San Francisco font.
- Quick Reply
- Settings now slide to the left as suggested in original designed
opposed to modal.
- Simplification of restraints on many screens.
- Full-API compatiblity with iOS 9 and iOS 8 legacy support.
- Customized AddressBook Permission prompt when restrictions are
enabled. If user installed Signal previously and already approved
access to Contacts, don't bugg him again.
- Fixes crash in migration for users who installed Signal <2.1.3 but hadn't signed up
yet.
- Xcode 7 / iOS 9 Travis Support
- Bitcode Support is disabled until it is better understood how exactly
optimizations are performed. In a first time, we will split out the
crypto code into a separate binary to make it easier to optimize the
non-sensitive code. Blog post with more details coming.
- Partial ATS support. We are running our own Certificate Authority at
Open Whisper Systems. Signal is doing certificate pinning to verify
that certificates were signed by our own CA. Unfortunately Apple's App
Transport Security requires to hand over chain verification to their
framework with no control over the trust store. We have filed a radar
to get ATS features with pinned certificates. In the meanwhile, ATS is
disabled on our domain. We also followed Amazon's recommendations for
our S3 domain we use to upload/download attachments. (#891)
- Implement a unified `AFSecurityOWSPolicy` pinning strategy accross
libraries (AFNetworking RedPhone/TextSecure & SocketRocket).
Signal requires the AddressBook permission to use the app at the
moment. This avoids the edgecases where a user doesn’t allow access to
his address book and then tries to use the app. We’re also doing a
significantly better job at explaining why we need this permission to
the user.
We’ve noticed that most people went to the App Store to leave really
bad reviews of the app and it is severely affecting our discoverability.
We will ask for a rating if we see you’ve been using the app for some
time. If you rate the app or decline to rate, that’s fine. We will
never bug you again!
