Chat message to host/co-host does not work from non-host

Meeting SDK iOS
1

Description
With chat enabled, but private chat disabled, if the user is not a host or co-host the call to MobileRTCMeetingService sendChatToUser:(NSUInteger)userID WithContent:(nonnull NSString*)content fails with permission denied even when messaging a host or co-host. However, in the Zoom app this works perfectly. A non-host can message the host even with private chat disabled.

Which version?
v5.2.42037.1112

To Reproduce(If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start a meeting with host (chat enabled, private chat disabled)
  2. Join meeting without host
  3. Try call to MobileRTCMeetingService sendChatToUser:(NSUInteger)userID WithContent:(nonnull NSString*)content from host to non-host (succeeds)
  4. Try call to MobileRTCMeetingService sendChatToUser:(NSUInteger)userID WithContent:(nonnull NSString*)content from non-host to host (fails)

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

  • Device: iPhone or iPad
  • OS: iOS
  • Version 14.x

Hey @jeremy.provost,

Thanks for using the dev forum! It is good to see you again :slight_smile:

I have reproduced the same behavior you are seeing for that version. Let me update to the latest version and see if the same thing is happening.

Edit: This happens on the latest version as well. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I will let the team know about this.

Stay tuned.
Michael
