MSMessagesAppViewController didStartSending overridden method is not called on SEND button tap

Question

I have created an iMessage app to send MSSticker converting from images.

I have implemented following overridden method:

override func didStartSending(_ message: MSMessage, conversation: MSConversation) {
        // Called when the user taps the send button.

    // Here I am adding rewards points on every sticker sending
    }

In iOS 10.2.0 it worked fine means rewards points get added but after updating to 10.2.1 is suddenly stopped and now I am no longer get callback to didStartSending method nor didCancelSending is called.

Is this a iOS 10.2.1 bug or should I do with any of the app settings for getting notified with the above method?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In new update you must have to use below method to send message. If you are not call below method then func didStartSending will not call.

    func insert(_ message: MSMessage, 
completionHandler: ((Error?) -> Void)? = nil)

and also check below things

method does not call if the controller's presentationStyle property is MSMessagesAppPresentationStyle.transcript , or if its presentationContext property is MSMessagesAppPresentationContext.media .
