chatDidReceiveMessage method not called QuickBlox - objective-c

Question

I am using QuickBlox-iOS SDK for chatting. Login/Signup is working perfectly. Also I am able to send message but the delegate method
- (void)chatDidReceiveMessage:(QBChatMessage *)message;
is not getting called. Here's the code I am using to setup chat. Adding the following code in appDelegate :
// connect to Chat
[[QBChat instance] addDelegate:self];
QBUUser *currentUser = [QBUUser user];
currentUser.ID = [Global sharedInstance].currentUser.ID;
currentUser.password = #"password";
[[QBChat instance] connectWithUser:currentUser completion:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
NSLog(#"connect to chat error %#",error);
}];
And the below code I am using to send message :
QBChatMessage *message = [QBChatMessage message];
message.recipientID=[Global sharedInstance].QBUserID;
message.senderID=[Global sharedInstance].currentUser.ID;
[message setText:messageTextView.text];
message.dateSent = [NSDate date];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
params[#"save_to_history"] = #YES;
[message setCustomParameters:params];
[QBRequest createMessage:message successBlock:^(QBResponse *response, QBChatMessage *createdMessage) {
NSLog(#"success: %#", createdMessage);
} errorBlock:^(QBResponse *response) {
NSLog(#"ERROR: %#", response.error);
}]
I checked on QuickBlox dashboard. It shows all the sent/received messages. But the delegate is not getting called when I send message to another user. I am not using any additional services classes (QMServices) like they are using in their Example Project. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I don't understand why you're using the [QBRequest createMessage:successBlock:errorBlock:] method to send messages to another user.
For me what always worked was to create a chatDialog with the user you're trying to message, like so:
QBChatDialog *dialog = [[QBChatDialog alloc] initWithDialogID:nil
type: QBChatDialogTypePrivate];
dialog.occupantIDs = #[#([Global instance].QBUserID),
#([Global instance].currentUser.user.ID)];
Afterwards, you can call Quickblox method to create the dialog on the servers:
if (dialog.ID == nil) {
[QBRequest createDialog:dialog successBlock:^(QBResponse *response, QBChatDialog *createdDialog) {
[self sendMessageToDialog: dialog withText:#"Hello friend!"];
} errorBlock:^(QBResponse *response) {
NSLog(#"dialog creation err: %#", response);
}];
}
Create the message:
- (QBChatMessage *) createMessageWithText: (NSString *)text andDialog: (QBChatDialog*)dialog {
QBChatMessage *message = [QBChatMessage message];
message.text = text;
message.senderID = [Global instance].currentUser.ID;
message.markable = YES;
message.deliveredIDs = #[#([Global instance].currentUser.ID)];
message.readIDs = #[#([Global instance].currentUser.ID)];
message.dialogID = dialog.ID;
message.dateSent = [NSDate date];
message.recipientID = dialog.recipientID;
message.customParameters = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
message.customParameters[kQMCustomParameterDialogID] = dialog.ID;
message.customParameters[kQMCustomParameterDialogType] = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%lu",(unsigned long)dialog.type];
message.customParameters[#"application_id"] = #"<your-application-id>";
message.customParameters[#"save_to_history"] = #"1";
if (dialog.lastMessageDate != nil){
NSNumber *lastMessageDate = #((NSUInteger)[dialog.lastMessageDate timeIntervalSince1970]);
message.customParameters[kQMCustomParameterDialogRoomLastMessageDate] = [lastMessageDate stringValue];
}
if (dialog.updatedAt != nil) {
NSNumber *updatedAt = #((NSUInteger)[dialog.updatedAt timeIntervalSince1970]);
message.customParameters[kQMCustomParameterDialogRoomUpdatedDate] = [updatedAt stringValue];
}
return message;
}
And then send the message to the dialog:
- (void) sendMessageToDialog: (QBChatDialog *)dialog withText: (NSString *)text {
QBChatMessage *message = [[ChatService shared] createMessageWithText:text andDialog:self.dialog];
[dialog sendMessage:message completionBlock:^(NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error != nil) {
NSLog(#"error creating message %#", error);
} else {
NSLog(#"message sent!");
}
}];
}
I think following this flux you'll be able to receive the callback through the delegate.
EDIT - I forgot to mention the consts I used in the code above are:
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogID = #"dialog_id";
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogRoomName = #"room_name";
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogRoomPhoto = #"room_photo";
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogRoomLastMessageDate = #"room_last_message_date";
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogUpdatedDate = #"dialog_updated_date";
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogType = #"type";
NSString const *kQMCustomParameterDialogRoomUpdatedDate = #"room_updated_date";

Have you added <QBChatDelegate> into your .h file.
