Is this library still maintained?

[edoantonioco]

This library seems to be great, but it has many issues, and I get the impression that is not maintained anymore.

The bug of keyboard being on top of the text input is present, which is fixed by this FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat#680 (comment)

I get this error:

Setting a timer for a long period of time, i.e. multiple minutes, is a performance and correctness issue on Android as it keeps the timer module awake, and timers can only be called when the app is in the foreground. See facebook/react-native#12981 for more info.
(Saw setTimeout with duration 1800000ms)

And also this one

Warning: ListView is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. See https://fb.me/nolistview for more information

And giftedchat is using a very old version.

Also in Chat.js line 177, there is this line
height: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? height : height - height / 25,
which causes issues with other navigation headers, changing it with
height: '100%'
can be an option.

So my request is that this library still get maintained, since its great. (specially since its official from LiveChat)

[Alenius]

Agreed. I have some problems as well, an example of this is that I cannot see the chat bubbles at all when chatting...

@Alenius I'm currently attempting to resolve this issue. I have a feeling it has to do with an outdated livechat-vistor-sdk.

[IsaacHardy]

To be honest, this package is so old most all of its dependencies need updating.

[mm7mod]

having the same issue/feeling ....most dependencies are very old and now with react-native .60 this library crashes from the beginning as there are features such as list view no longer supported .

[Alenius]

@IsaacHardy I have tried to connect to utilize the sdk via the .min.js-file but I can't even use init for some reason, have you succeeded? I really want this to work, even if I have to implement everything from scratch by myself except the sdk connection.

[creative-git]

i replaced the SDK with version 0.35.2. and it compiles without any issue. however, the messages are not sent. ( no matter what sdk version sdk i use) . any idea ?

[Volekss]

Same here. Any forks that solve the issue with sending messages?

[IsaacHardy]

@Alenius I'm in the same boat still. I've attempted to update the necessary packages and I've even replaced the .min.js file with the latest with no avail.

I've decided to suggest a different solution for my client until I can spend more time "resolving" LiveChat's own product package.

@IsaacHardy "I've decided to suggest a different solution for my client until I can spend more time "resolving" LiveChat's own product package. " did the same here xD xD

[creative-git]
