To be filled by reviewers

I have reviewed that this PR... (tick whichever items you personally focused on during this review):

addresses the issue it closes (if any)
code is readable and understandable
is accompanied with tests, or tests are not needed
is free of vulnerabilities
is documented clearly and usefully, or doesn't need documentation

tomholub · 2021-06-16T18:02:09Z

Does not need tests

It 100% needs tests but we don't have a good mechanism for writing tests yet, blocked on #307 in part

I presume this is still a draft? If so, you can mark it as a draft:

Yup - that's the type of tests that's the most valuable to me especially initially.

tomholub · 2021-06-16T19:59:40Z

Alternatively, how could this functionality be tested? (rendering a message with an attachment, then downloading the attachment)

ekievsky · 2021-06-17T08:56:37Z

I presume this is still a draft? If so, you can mark it as a draft:

as I understood from issue description, on scope of a task I need to add downloading attachments to user's phone. Since the attachments come along with message I just implemented saving attachment to device.

tomholub · 2021-06-17T09:13:58Z

From looking at the code, it's not clear where does it integrate with the UI and how do I download an attachment to my device as a user. Where is the handling of the tap on the attachment to download it?

ekievsky · 2021-06-17T09:16:20Z

so the UI handling is also in this scope, I'll add. Do I need to implement the details of attachment? I mean if it's PDF should I show in separate view that PDF file?

tomholub · 2021-06-17T09:22:12Z

Do I need to implement the details of attachment? I mean if it's PDF should I show in separate view that PDF file?

No, I'd just like to tap the attachment name to download the file, whatever the file is. No need a separate view.

ekievsky · 2021-06-17T09:24:28Z

should I show a toast that notifies user that the file was saved?

tomholub · 2021-06-17T11:09:07Z

should I show a toast that notifies user that the file was saved?

I think yes - for a user, visual feedback is good to have.

Added tests for files manager;

@Kharchevskyi here is the fix that I was talking about

Please check next commit with better approach for this. Please confirm this one is works for you

tomholub

code looks good, will test the app now

tomholub · 2021-06-19T14:32:48Z

I'm having trouble building this, please merge changes from master into here and resolve conflicts. Thanks!

After I save the attachment, where can I find it?

I have tried to save an image, but can't find it anywhere on my phone. I would expect it to be in Downloads.

Best would be if after I download the attachment, it would pop up a modal that says

Attachment downloaded
[open now]
[close]

Where I could click open and iOS would figure out which app to open it with (like on a desktop).

But that's not strictly necessary, it would be for now enough to at least tell the user where to find their attachment so that they can open it themselves.

tomholub · 2021-06-21T13:10:01Z

 "message_compose_secure" = "Compose Secure Message";
 "message_unknown_sender" = "(unknown sender)";
 "message_missed_subject" = "No subject";
+"message_attachment_saved_successfully" = "Attachemt was saved";


ekievsky · 2021-06-23T14:22:53Z

For now files store in Documents folder which iOS creates for every app. In order to save file to Downloads(you may access it using Files native app) we need to use UIDocumentInteractionController, that's the separate view that allows user to save file to Downloads and can be opened using Files native app in future.

tomholub · 2021-06-23T14:55:29Z

As a user, how can I open the file after it downloads?

ekievsky · 2021-06-23T14:56:44Z

For now there is no way, I though we will add files reading inside of app in future.

tomholub · 2021-06-23T18:18:06Z

No, this is not useful as is. I want users to be able to actually get the file they received and do with it what they want, like on a desktop. open with another app, transfer to pc, send through whatsapp, whatever. when not sure, have a look at what other email clients do

Other email clients have theirs own readers. But I got your point I'll add this documents reader. Thanks

tomholub · 2021-06-24T10:30:26Z

that sounds like a lot of work. could you estimate the amount of work to add a document reader vs save to downloads? is there a standardised ios document reader to add or is that something we have to implement?

It won't take a lot of time, around an hour, it comes from native SDK.

tomholub · 2021-06-24T10:46:22Z

ok - that sounds good. thanks!

Opened saved files using Files app;

ekievsky · 2021-06-24T13:58:05Z

Had some merging side effects.

So, I added UIDocumentInteractionController. The flow is following:

User taps on download button
App opens native files browser inside of application.

success: user gets the alert asking him if he want to open Files app to open a file or dismiss alert
failure: user gets the toast saying that there was an error while saving a file

tomholub

Much better! There is a bug though:

click download icon on a small text file
when choosing location, I only saw various app folders, but not Downloads folder. So I made a new folder called test folder
click done
get prompted to open the file, said yes
the app took me to Downloads folder. But I saved it elsewhere

I'll merge this, and then you can fix this in a followup PR. Thanks!
