New Features
- Added a Terms and Condition check box to the pre-chat form. You can activate this by setting
AttributedString
totermsAndCondition
on theSCSChatConfiguration
object.
Known Issues
- Adding a plist value in your app for
View controller-based status bar appearance
and setting it toYES
will have no effect in the SDK and in your app. If you set this value toNO
, you can then setStatus bar style
andStatus bar is initially hidden
in the plist file to control the status bar in the app. - Chat: When dragging a finger over UI elements while using VoiceOver, some elements in the chat feed are not read aloud.
- Chat: Case creation using the
SCSPrechatEntity
class does not work for Omni-Channel routing without a setup change to your org. Workaround: Raise a ticket with Salesforce.com to ensure that Omni-Channel is enabled to create a Case in your org. Note that Contact creation works fine with Omni-Channel, and Live Agent routing works correctly for both Cases and Contacts. - Case Management: If the "Edit Read Only Fields" permission is turned on in your org, a community user can see (and seemingly edit) read only fields when creating a case. Workaround: Turn off the "Edit Read Only Fields" permission so that read only fields are not shown when creating a case. See this Knowledge article for more information.
