Plugin.Maui.Intercom.Android.Ably

Optional Ably realtime support for Plugin.Maui.Intercom on Android.

What it is for

Intercom's Android SDK uses Ably for live conversation updates — new messages arriving while the messenger is open, typing indicators, unread-count changes. That client is not part of Plugin.Maui.Intercom, so by default Intercom falls back to polling and logs a warning:

W  Intercom realtime  No realtime ...

The messenger still works without this package. Add it only if you want live updates.

Usage

Reference it alongside the main package. There is no API to call and nothing to initialize — the Intercom SDK picks the client up off the classpath.

<PackageReference Include="Plugin.Maui.Intercom" Version="..." />
<PackageReference Include="Plugin.Maui.Intercom.Android.Ably" Version="..." />

Use the same version as Plugin.Maui.Intercom; all packages in this repository share one version.

Why it is a separate package

Intercom's POM asks for io.ably:ably-android, whose dependency closure includes Firebase Messaging. Every Ably type Intercom actually references is core ably-java:

io.ably.lib.realtime.{AblyRealtime, Channel, Connection, ConnectionState, ConnectionStateListener}
io.ably.lib.rest.Auth$TokenCallback
io.ably.lib.types.{ClientOptions, ErrorInfo, Message}

Nothing from the Firebase-backed push surface is touched, so this package vendors ably-java and its four transitive jars instead. No Firebase dependency is imposed on anyone, and apps that do not want realtime pay nothing.

Contents

Vendored, version-pinned in Directory.Build.props:

Artifact Purpose
io.ably:ably-java realtime + REST client
io.ably:network-client-core transport abstraction
io.ably:network-client-okhttp OkHttp transport
org.msgpack:msgpack-core wire format
com.davidehrmann.vcdiff:vcdiff-core delta decoding

gson and okhttp are declared as package dependencies; both are already present in any app using Plugin.Maui.Intercom.

Platform

  • Target frameworks: net9.0-android and net10.0-android
  • Minimum Android: 6.0 (API 23)
  • iOS needs nothing equivalent — the Intercom iOS SDK ships its realtime transport inside Intercom.xcframework.
Product Compatible and additional computed target framework versions.
.NET net9.0-android35.0 is compatible.  net10.0-android was computed.  net10.0-android36.0 is compatible.
