Presence API for PubNub Objective-C SDK

Presence enables you to track the online and offline status of users and devices in real time, as well as store custom state information. Presence provides authoritative information on:

• When a user has joined or left a channel
• Who, and how many, users are subscribed to a particular channel
• Which channel(s) an individual user is subscribed to
• Associated state information for these users

Here Now

Requires Presence add-onRequires that the Presence add-on is enabled for your key. See this page on enabling add-on features on your keys:
https://support.pubnub.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051974791-How-do-I-enable-add-on-features-for-my-keys-

Description

You can obtain information about the current state of a channel including a list of unique user-ids currently subscribed to the channel and the total occupancy count of the channel by calling the hereNowForChannel function in your application.

Method(s)

To call Here Now you can use the following method(s) in the Objective-C SDK:

- (void)hereNowForChannel:(NSString *)channel withCompletion:(PNHereNowCompletionBlock)block;

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
channel	NSString	Yes	Reference on channel for which here now information should be received.
block	PNHereNowCompletionBlock	Yes	Here now processing completion block which pass two arguments: result - in case of successful request processing \c data field will contain results of here now operation; \c status - in case if error occurred during request processing.

- (void)hereNowForChannel:(NSString *)channel withVerbosity:(PNHereNowVerbosityLevel)level completion:(PNHereNowCompletionBlock)block;

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
channel	NSString	Yes	Reference on channel for which here now information should be received.
level	PNHereNowVerbosityLevel	Yes	Reference on one of PNHereNowVerbosityLevel fields to instruct what exactly data it expected in response.
block	PNHereNowCompletionBlock	Yes	Here now processing completion block which pass two arguments: result - in case of successful request processing \c data field will contain results of here now operation; \c status - in case if error occurred during request processing.

Basic Usage

Get a list of uuids subscribed to channel:

// With PNHereNowUUID client will pull out list of unique identifiers and occupancy information.
[self.client hereNowForChannel: @"my_channel" withVerbosity:PNHereNowUUID
                    completion:^(PNPresenceChannelHereNowResult *result,
                                 PNErrorStatus *status) {

    // Check whether request successfully completed or not.
    if (!status) {

        /**
         Handle downloaded presence information using:
            result.data.uuids - list of uuids.
            result.data.occupancy - total number of active subscribers.
         */
    }
    else {

        /**
         Handle presence audit error. Check 'category' property to find
         out possible reason because of which request did fail.
         Review 'errorData' property (which has PNErrorData data type) of status
         object to get additional information about issue.

         Request can be resent using: [status retry];
         */
    }
}];

Response

Response objects which is returned by client when Here Now API for channel used:

@interface PNPresenceGlobalHereNowData : PNServiceData

// Active channels list.
@property (nonatomic, readonly, strong) NSDictionary$lt;NSString *, NSDictionary *> *channels;

Where Now

Requires Presence add-onRequires that the Presence add-on is enabled for your key. See this page on enabling add-on features on your keys:
https://support.pubnub.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051974791-How-do-I-enable-add-on-features-for-my-keys-

Description

You can obtain information about the current list of channels to which a UUID is subscribed to by calling the whereNowUUID function in your application.

Note

If the app is killed/crashes and restarted (or the page containing the PubNub instance is refreshed on the browser) within the heartbeat window no timeout event is generated.

Method(s)

To call whereNowUUID you can use the following method(s) in the Objective-C SDK:

- (void)whereNowUUID:(NSString *)uuid withCompletion:(PNWhereNowCompletionBlock)block;

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
uuid	NSString	Yes	Reference on UUID for which request should be performed.
block	PNWhereNowCompletionBlock	Yes	Where now processing completion block which pass two arguments: result - in case of successful request processing data field will contain results of where now operation; status - in case if error occurred during request processing.

Basic Usage

You simply need to define the uuid and the callback function to be used to send the data to as in the example below.

Get a list of channels a UUID is subscribed to:

[self.client whereNowUUID:self.client.uuid withCompletion:^(PNPresenceWhereNowResult *result,
                                                            PNErrorStatus *status) {

    if (!status) {

        // Handle downloaded presence 'where now' information using: result.data.channels
    }
    else {

        /**
         Handle presence audit error. Check 'category' property
         to find out possible reason because of which request did fail.
         Review 'errorData' property (which has PNErrorData data type) of status
         object to get additional information about issue.

         Request can be resent using: [status retry];
         */
    }
 }];

Response

Response objects which is returned by client when Where Now API is used:

@interface PNPresenceWhereNowData : PNServiceData

// List of channels on which client subscribed.
@property (nonatomic, readonly, strong) NSArray<NSString *> *channels;

@end

@interface PNPresenceWhereNowResult : PNResult

// Stores reference on client presence request processing information.
@property (nonatomic, readonly, strong) PNPresenceWhereNowData *data;

@end

User State (Builder Pattern)

Requires Presence add-onRequires that the Presence add-on is enabled for your key. See this page on enabling add-on features on your keys:
https://support.pubnub.com/hc/en-us/articles/360051974791-How-do-I-enable-add-on-features-for-my-keys-

Description

The state API is used to set/get key/value pairs specific to a subscriber uuid.

State information is supplied as a JSON object of key/value pairs.

Method(s)

Set State:

state().set().uuid(NSString *).state(NSDictionary *).channels(NSArray<NSString *> *).channelGroups(NSArray<NSString *> *).performWithCompletion(PNSetStateCompletionBlock)

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
uuid	NSString	No	Unique user identifier for which state should be bound. Current PubNub user ID will be used by default if not set or set to nil.
state	NSDictionary	No	Data which should be bound to specified uuid on channels / channelGroups.
channels	NSArray<NSString *>	No	List of the channel names which will store provided state information for uuid. Not required if channelGroups is set.
channelGroups	NSArray<NSString *>	No	List of channel group names which will store provided state information for uuid. Not required if channels is set.
completion	PNSetStateCompletionBlock	No	State modification for user on channel / channel group completion block which pass only one argument - request status reports state change was successful or not (errorData contains error information in case of failure).

Note

This method uses the builder pattern, you can remove the arguments which are optional.
