SDK-235

✏️ Description

Add ability to sync messages
Add ability to get messages

Testing

Run the setup
Login and then click on the "Embedded" tab

Click "Sync messages"

In the Xcode Console, you should see something that looks like this:

 💛 17:55:06.1810:0x600001836640:ReactIterableAPI:syncEmbeddedMessages():512
 💚 17:55:06.2020:0x600001836640:Pending:init(value:):199
 💚 17:55:06.2050:0x600001836640:Pending:init(value:):199
 💚 17:55:06.7080:0x60000185fc80:Pending:deinit:215
 💚 17:55:06.7090:0x60000185fc80:Pending:deinit:215

Click "Get messages"
If you have embedded messages which are active, you should see the data for them in the emulator.

Setup

cd into root and run yarn install
cd into example and run yarn install
cd into ios and run bundle exec pod install
open two separate terminals.
In Terminal 1
- run watchman watch-del-all
- run yarn start --reset-cache
In Terminal 2
- cd into ios
- run open ReactNativeSdkExample.xcworkspace
- Once Xcode opens the project, choose an emulator then click the play button to run it.

Pull request overview

This PR adds the ability to sync embedded messages and retrieve embedded messages with optional placement ID filtering for the iOS platform. The Android implementation already exists in the codebase.

Changes:

Added iOS native implementation for syncEmbeddedMessages() and getEmbeddedMessages() methods
Added serialization support for IterableEmbeddedMessage to convert to dictionary format
Simplified the example app usage to pass placement IDs directly instead of chaining promises

ios/RNIterableAPI/ReactIterableAPI.swift

+  public func syncEmbeddedMessages() {
+    ITBInfo()
+    IterableAPI.embeddedManager.syncMessages { }
+  }


What happens when syncMessages fails.

Unfortunately, it would swallow it. I would love to add success/error callbacks, but unfortunately Android does not seem to expose them, so I would only be able to do so for iOS. As RN needs to have similar capabilities for both, I kind of have to forgo the error handling here as I can't seem to figure it out properly in Android.

@Ayyanchira -- please let me know if I misunderstood this!

ios/RNIterableAPI/ReactIterableAPI.swift

+        let placementMessages = IterableAPI.embeddedManager.getMessages(
+          for: placementId.intValue
+        )
+        messages.append(contentsOf: placementMessages)


what if placementMessages is nil

It would return an empty array

ios/RNIterableAPI/ReactIterableAPI.swift

+    ITBInfo()
+    var messages: [IterableEmbeddedMessage] = []
+
+    if let placementIds = placementIds, !placementIds.isEmpty {


need a comment here to explain why if placementIds is nil or empty we just do IterableAPI.embeddedManager.getMessages(). Would the messages array be coherent in both cases.

It would be coherent for both. Added a comment regarding this, but not 100% sure if this is what you meant. Please let me know if it is not.

ios/RNIterableAPI/Serialization.swift

+    // Serialize metadata (which is Codable)
+    if let metadataDict = SerializationUtil.encodableToDictionary(encodable: metadata) {
+      dict["metadata"] = metadataDict
+    }


What if serialization fails but the metadata is partially encodable.

JSONEnvoder is atomic -- If any property fails to encode, the entire encoding will fail. So there wouldn't be partial encoding. But the entire metadata would be silently omitted.

Updated this so that it would fail if the encoding fails so that the error isn't swallowed.

ios/RNIterableAPI/Serialization.swift

+    if let elements = elements,
+       let elementsDict = SerializationUtil.encodableToDictionary(encodable: elements) {
+      dict["elements"] = elementsDict
+    }


What is serialization fails but the elementsDict is partially encodable.

Updated this -- let me know if this works
