User Limit and creating new iOS users via REST API

Hello!

I have a few questions:

1) I'm working on a iOS dating and chat app that I thought would be good for this challenge yet feel like the 5 user limit is a bit restricting. Is there any way to increase this limit?

2) The iOS SDK currently only supports pre-created users or creating users with text validation code. However, it appears the REST API has a Domain endpoint which allows creating users by phone number. Is there any reason that I cannot use the REST API endpoint on the iOS device? I feel that it will make my onboarding process a bit simpler.

3) Per the docs:
"Create Push notification certificate via iOS developer portal and publish the *.pem file to the Kandy.io portal. "
I cannot seem to find any reference to push notification setup on the Kandy.io site -- where do I upload the .pem file?

4) I should be able to receive message updates using the iOS SDK even without push notifications setup, correct? My two devices are connecting to the kandy servers, registering, and sending messages, but they do not seem to receive messages unless I call the pullEventsWithResponseCallback method on the chat service. I have implemented the KandyChatServiceNotificationDelegate in my class and am registering that class for notifications with [[Kandy sharedInstance].services.chat registerNotifications:self], but the -(void)onMessageDelivered:(KandyDeliveryAck *)ackData event is not firing.

Thanks in advance,
Liam

    Hi Liam,

    Thanks for your questions and interest in the challenge. I've passed your questions on to the Kandy tech team and they'll be responding shortly. In the mean time, I can help with your first question.

    Unfortunately, for this challenge we won't be able to increase the number of users and per the rules submitters are required to use the free account provided.

    "All Makers must create a new free Kandy account for use in the Challenge using a promo code provided on the Challenge Website, regardless of whether the Team, Organization, Large Organization, Representative, or individual Maker has a preexisting Kandy account."

    That doesn't mean you can't still use a different Kandy level of service for any product you go live with - but for the challenge you'll need to use the free account which is restricted to 5 users.

    More on your other questions soon!

    Hi Serena,

    Thanks for the response! I saw the following in the rules and thought so thought it might be worth asking about the increase in users:

    "The Poster may provide additional usage credits to all Makers registered for the Challenge, at their sole discretion."

    But, I can probably find a way to make due with 5 users.

    Thanks!

    Hey Liam,

    It was totally worth the ask. Can't wait to see what you've built!
