Major Release: Messaging for In-App (Android)

Enhance the Messaging for In-App experience with the new Messaging for In-App features. Improve the user experience by auto-populating the pre-chat form fields, selecting the preferred browser type for opening rich links, and much more.

To learn more, see the Messaging for In-App Developer Guide.

This page covers the Android release notes. For iOS, see the iOS release notes.

New Features

  • Added the ability to end the current session on a conversation.
  • Added displaying a configured fallback message when entering the conversation.
  • Added markdown support to inbound text messages.
  • Added a new UI experience for typing indicators.
  • Added an optional opt out flag for the agent experience of the new typing indicator UI to distinguish between humans and bots.
  • Added support for AgentForce bot progress updates to manage end user's expectation for loading response time.
  • Added support for sending and receiving several new file types including CSV, XML, TXT, WORD files and Excel spreadsheets.
  • Added support for streaming AgentForce text messages. Allows the end user to receive messages as they are being generated in real-time.

API Changes

  • Added conversationClient.endSession(). This call will end the session on the conversation.
  • Added the FallbackMessage configuration to the RemoteConfiguration object.
  • Added the Participant.roleType field of type ParticipantRoleType (Enum) to replace the Participant.role String?. Possible enum values are: Agent, Chatbot, EndUser, System, Unknown, Supervisor, Router;
  • Deprecated Participant.role. Use the roleType Enum instead.
  • Added a new configuration object UIConfiguration.agentConfiguration with an option to opt out of the new progress indicator experience for agents.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where calling CoreClient.clearStorage() could lead to unexpected results if CoreClient.Factory.destroy() was not also called.
  • Fixed an issue where providing a limit of 0 on any conversation/conversation entry list API would return 0 results from the database. Providing a limit of 0 will query the database with a limit of -1 instead.
  • Fixed a crash when using deep links (custom scheme) in a enhanced link messaging component.
  • Fixed an issue where deep links were not rendering for some message types.
  • Fixed an issue where PDF pager background in dark mode was making the content hard to read.
  • Fixed an issue where re-registering for push notifications would have no affect until the app was restarted.

Known Issues

  • URI links are not automatically parsed from a block of plain text. This is a platform difference between iOS and Android. There are two main workarounds for this:
  1. Use an explicit link message type (richlink or webview messaging component)
  2. Use the new markdown support to provide the link [link](mydeeplink://path)

Notes

  • Updated Android Compose BOM to 2025.01.01 / 1.7.7 (strictly >= 1.7.0 < 1.8.0)
