Deadlock when unit testing on iOS

When running unit tests in Xcode Cloud we often get a test failure because the tests failed to start. In those cases we get a spindump indicating that there is a deadlock caused by something Intercom does as a result of [UIBarAppearance init] being called. Anyone seen something similar? It seems to be related to a global initializer so just linking against Intercom will cause the problem. Just to be sure I’ve changed our code to not call any Intercom methods when running as part of XCTests but it appears to still be happening.

Intercom working fine on Xcode Simulator builds but not loading on simulator

Edit: Title should be “Intercom working fine on Xcode Simulator builds but not loading on testflight builds” but I can't edit it or delete this. I have added the camera privacy reason. Yet on TestFlight builds Intercom does not load. I am wondering if the SDKs access to a certain URL is being blocked because it needs to be manually allowlisted somewhere in the privacy configuration? But not sure on that. Documentation does not say anything about this. Are there other reasons this may happen?

Bug Report: Intercom overrides App tint at the top level of SwiftUI apps

Seems that when installed Intercom overrides the tint color for the whole app. There are ways around that of course but this is likely causing unexpected repercussions for SwiftUI apps using tints.

Crash in IntercomSDK_ITBBlockListViewController

Hi! We’re experiencing a non negligible amount of crashes with our iOS app. We’re using the Intercom iOS SDK v18.2.0 (AKA the latest). As far as we can see, the user goes into the intercom integration, and at some point it crashes. Here is the crash-logs from Sentry: OS Version: iOS 18.0.1 (22A3370)Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)Crashed Thread: 0 Application Specific Information:Expected dequeued view to be returned to the collection view in preparation for display. When the collection view's data source is asked to provide a view for a given index path, ensure that a single view is dequeued and returned to the collection view. Avoid dequeuing views without a request from the collection view. For retrieving an existing view in the collection view, use -[UICollectionView cellForItemAtIndexPath:] or -[UICollectionView supplementaryViewForElementKind:atIndexPath:].

Crash on launch for users on iOS 15.8

Hi! We’re using the Intercom SDK on our iOS app, currently using version 18.1.0. We’ve been getting a lot of crash reports and it seems to mostly happen to users on iOS 15.8, looking into it we found a stack trace that points to swizzling done by the Intercom SDK: Any ideas on how to fix this?

AirPlay Issues with Intercom API

I have determined that Our iPad app is experiencing Airplay issues that are being caused by the Intercom API. Setup: Intercom.setApiKey(apiKey, forAppId: appId) let userAttributes = ICMUserAttributes() userAttributes.userId = user.userID Intercom.setUserHash(userHash) Intercom.loginUser(with: userAttributes) Steps to reproduce: cold launch the app Have above code run for Authenticated users Turn on Airplay to TV or Apple TV Issue: External screen is black Note: Turning airplay off and back on solves the issue. Troubleshooting: Commenting the following lines of code solves the issue: Intercom.setUserHash(userHash) Intercom.loginUser(with: userAttributes) I have tried disabling Intercom swizzling as per your documentation but it has no affect. Currently using Intercom 17.4.0

[iOS] Video capture is not available since Intercom iOS SDK 17.2.0

Hello, I faced with unexpected experience when I cannot to capture video in Intercom messenger using iOS SDK since 17.2.0. Could you please help me to resolve this issue? My steps: Update iOS SDK to 18.2.0. Run the app, check that there is Intercom’s warning “Add NSMicrophoneUsageDescription...” in Xcode console. Add NSMicrophoneUsageDescription to Info.plist according to Installation guide, step 2. Run the app again, check the message is not printed. Open Intercom messenger, start a new conversation. Press a green plus icon. It opens an action sheet, choose Camera. The app asks only for camera permission, not microphone. Allow camera usage. Camera opens → only photo capturing is available, not video. Change SDK version to 17.1.2. Run the app, repeat step 5, press a grey camera icon. The app asks for microphone permission. Allow it. Camera opens. → Both options, Photo and Video, are available for choosing. Update SDK to 17.2.0, repeat steps 5-7. → Again, only photo capturing is availab

What is a Mobile SDK?

A Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) is a collection of tools, libraries, and APIs that help developers create apps for platforms like Android or iOS. It simplifies app development by providing pre-built components for features such as user authentication, payment systems, and analytics. Benefits of Mobile SDKs: Faster Development: Reduces coding effort with ready-to-use tools. Consistency: Ensures reliable implementation across apps. Scalability: Supports growing user bases and feature additions. Enhanced Experience: Enables features like push notifications and smooth integrations. Popular SDKs: Firebase: For analytics and crash reporting. Facebook SDK: For social login and ad integration. Apple iOS SDK & Android SDK: Native app development essentials. Mobile SDKs save time, streamline workflows, and allow developers to focus on creating innovative, user-friendly apps.

How can I get the currently logged in user?

I am using the React Native SDK and I would like to know the userId of the currently logged in user. Use-case: after updating to the latest SDK, loginUserWithUserAttributes throws an exception when the user is already logged in. But I have no way to know if the user is already logged into Intercom (after an app restart for example), and if logged it, if it is logged in using the correct user. I could store this in my app, but this makes the code much more complex. The best solution would be to have an Intercom method to return the currently logged user, if any.

Android app using SDK version 14.0.0 suddenly crashing when opening any collection of articles

Our Android app is suddenly crashing for any user that tries to open a collection of articles inside Intercom. SDK version 14.0.0. Opening individual articles seems to work fine, just not collections. We have a pre-release version with Intercom version 15.10.3 and this does not crash, but this is not helpful for the thousands of users on the old version. I don’t see anywhere saying SDK 14.0.0 is deprecated. Also, iOS is working fine. No changes have been made our side. Is there an issue Intercom’s side here?
