Implemented using corbett's suggestion in issue #525. Uses
Flipboard/FLAnimatedImage in an AttachmentAdapter. Detects gifs using
new Animated category in MIMETypeUtil.
Backwards compatible with previous versions of Signal on iOS for both
sending and receiving Gifs, though they are sent/received in older
versions as UIImage and won't animate. Gifs also animate on both ends of
conversations with TextSecure users on Android.
//FREEBIE
Upon receiving a 404 to a prekey request for a particular device D, the client handles that error by removing device D from the recipient's device list, and proceeds to encrypt and send to the remaining known devices.

- 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!
