Some folks get the wrong idea and think Signal Service knows their name,
when really, we were just showing them the entry for the registered
phone number in their address book.
In any case, presumably the user already knows their name, so we don't
need to remind them.
// FREEBIE
When your partner changes their identity key (e.g. by reinstalling),
you'll see a notice alongside their message, but it will no longer
prevent the message from showing. aka "non blocking".
Existing users will be opted into the previous blocking behavior.
This is configurable for all users in Settings > Privacy.
// FREEBIE
This action was previously hidden under a secret longpress gesture in
the fingerprint view controller.
Ideally we'd never receive corrupted messages, but at the point we do,
our sessions are out of whack, and the only recovery option is to reset.
Let's help our users do that.
* Resetting session sends END_SESSION message
Otherwise the remote side wouldn't know we reset the session and will
send us a message on the old ratchet.
* Don't reset their identity key when resetting sender ratchet.
* Updated translations
// 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
* From the error dialog you are able to back out of scanning or try again. Adds English localization for this message.
Adds an extra flag in OWSQRCodeScanningViewController to make sure that we don’t handle captureResults when capture is disabled (this was racing before because the call to [capture stop] is async and that was causing the cancel case to present the error dialog multiple times.
Fixes Signal-iOS#1347
* Fixes appearance of race with starting capture
Also marks the capture variable as atomic since it is accessed on
multiple threads.
// 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
TSOutgoingMessage is created with details about the group changes so that we see more than just “Group Updated.”
* Customizes message for new group creation
Replaces GROUP_UPDATED with GROUP_CREATED for a brand new group. Localized for English only.
* Updates to use fixed SignalServiceKit branch
// FREEBIE
Inadvertently stole credit for work done when squashing the commits.
Reverting and re-merging giving appropriate credit.
This reverts commit 8242c9e381.

This shouldn't have any affect on behavior, we're just removing unused
strings, extracting comments, and re ordering.
Going forward we can use auto-genstrings to get a sensible diff without
having to manually add/remove/update strings and comments.
Thanks @nixnuex!
// FREEBIE
* Inline #define strings, so genstrings can find them
* Make all strings single line so they don't get truncated by auto-genstrings
* Properly quote LHS in strings file
// FREEBIE
* lighter tint for icons, their bold stroke width makes them darker than
the text
* Replace double hourglass icons with a single one. It aligns better,
and the "small time" vs "big time" is confusing
* Add description of what disappearing messages do
// 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
* New bg (Bulgarian) localization!
* New sq (Albanian) localization!
* replace unfinished bg_BG localization with complete bg localization
* caps keys to make it easier to see missing localizations
* pull with newly pushed source keys
// FREEBIE
Also made identity key scanner appear faster. Previously we were
waiting for camera to initialize. Now we do this after the view has
loaded - with a black background, the affect is preferable than
lagging on the transition.
// FREEBIE
copy/save/delete is accessed via longpress for all media messages, just
like for simple text messages.
Notes
-----
We don't support saving audio attachments as it's not clear where they should go.
(I don't think users expect them to end up in their iTunes library.)
There is still no UX for "pasting" media into Signal.
Removed the now redundant (and confusing) "share" button interface.
//FREEBIE
* Update translations (4 new translations!)
*New Translations*
- Persian (fa) (100%)
- Indonesian (id) (82%)
- Macedonian (Macedonia) (mk_MK) 100%
- Shona (sn) 98%
Inluded a script to pull translations that are >=80% complete
80% is completely arbitrary, but nicely bisects the current translation
efforts which fall into buckets of "over 80%" and "under 50%."
// FREEBIE
* final tx pull before push source
//FREEBIE
* tx pull, after updating source (plus some eager beavers already pushed new translations)
iStringVerify passes
* Make "add person" label more i18n flexible
This accommodates (e.g.) Italian, which was being truncated.
// FREEBIE
* Galician localization
Moitas grazas xesusmosquera!
// FREEBIE
* i18n for Unarchive action
started leaving hints for our translators. These are currently manually
redundantly duplicated in the source/strings file, in hopes of a more
automated future with genstrings.
// FREEBIE
* include iStringsVerify check in update-translations script
and pull latest translations after including UNARCHIVE action
// FREEBIE
* i18n GROUP_MEMBERS_HEADER
//FREEBIE
* pull translations
- Use single MessagesViewController. Goal: Being able to reuse that UI
for SplitViewController on iPad. Prevents unnecessary deallocations and
re-allocations.
- Remove custom archiving UI for default swipe right to left archive
action, like in iOS Mail.app.
- DynamicType for main view.
- Simplify API of MessagesViewController to prevent undefined behavior.
//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!
- Removes large confusing UX bar and related assets. Replaced with UISwitch.
- Enhanced user experience for missed calls.
- Fixes issue where missed call would appear as incoming call in call log.
- Fixing issues where PushKit handler not called on launch.
