ICMessaging
The ICMessaging singleton class facilitates the ability to send and receive RTM messages and update the read status for RTM and Push.
Property | Description |
---|---|
@property (nonatomic, weak) id delegate; | This property refers to the delegate implementing ICMessagingDelegate methods. |
@property (nonatomic, weak) id actionsDelegate; | This property refers to the delegate implementing ICMessagingActionsDelegate methods. |
@property (nonatomic, readonly) BOOL isConnected; | This property returns YES if RTM connection is currently connected. |
@property (nonatomic, readonly) ICConnectionStatus connectionStatus; | This property returns the current connection status between the SDK and the IMIconnect platform. |
@property (nonatomic) id messageStore | The ICMessageStore implementation which the SDK will use to store data. Passing a null value is valid and disables storage capability. |
shared
This method is returns the ICMessaging
singleton instance. The instance is created internally on demand.
Syntax: + (instancetype)shared;
Return Value:
Returns ICMessaging
singleton instance.
connect
Once the RT feature is enabled in the app asset created on IMIconnect and user registration is done, the App Developer can establish a connection between the app and IMIconnect platform by calling the connect method appropriately. This enables the messages sent from IMIconnect to be received on the app. When the application is running in the background, SDK is disconnected from IMIconnect. While in the disconnected state, incoming In-App messages are not received, however when the application comes to foreground again, SDK will establish a connection with IMIconnect platform and allow messages to be received.
The connect method is used to establish a connection to receive Real Time Messages from IMIconnect platform. When the connection is successful, the status events are notified through ICMessagingDelegate didChangeConnectionStatus
.
It throws an error as defined if the user is not currently registered to the IMIconnect or if RTM feature is not enabled in the policy.
Syntax: - (BOOL)connect:(NSError **)error;
Example:
NSError * error;
[ICMessaging shared].delegate = self;
[[ICMessaging shared] connect: & error];
if (error) {
NSLog(@ "Connection Failed. Reason: %@", error.localizedDescription);
}
disconnect
This method is used to disconnect the connection between the app and IMIconnect platform. If there is no active connection, then this method fails silently. When the disconnection is successful, the status events are notified through ICMessagingDelegate didChangeConnectionStatus
.
It throws an error as defined if the user is not currently registered with IMIconnect or if RTM feature is not enabled in the policy.
Syntax: - (BOOL)disconnect:(NSError **)error;
Example:
NSError * error;
[[ICMessaging shared] disconnect: & error];
if (error) {
NSLog(@ "Disconnection failed. Reason: %@", error.localizedDescription);
} else {
NSLog(@ "Disconnection succeeded.");
}
subscribeTopic
This method is used to subscribe to the passed topic, allowing the SDK to receive messages on that topic. If the subscription succeeds, error in completionHandler will be null. Incoming messages are received through ICMessagingDelegate didReceiveMessage

Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
topic | String | Specifies the topic name to subscribe. |
