Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added builder-based client creation for server and end-user device applications.
    • Added a migration guide for upgrading from SDK 1.x to 2.0.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Removed deprecated client constructors and legacy authentication, recovery, publishing, encryption, and configuration APIs.
    • Publishing now uses callback-based results.
    • Registration tokens now support FCM only; GCM parsing is no longer available.
    • Removed the default fallback-host configuration option.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup, usage, proxy, and testing examples for the 2.0 builder APIs.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

Walkthrough

This change completes the 2.0 client-construction migration. It adds factory seams, routes builders and tests through them, removes deprecated APIs, updates fallback and reauthentication behavior, and revises examples and migration documentation.

Changes

Client construction and API cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Factories, builders, and client construction
lib/src/main/java/..., server/src/main/java/..., device/src/commonMain/..., core*/src/main/...
HttpClientFactory and RealtimeClientFactory now construct clients through non-public constructors. Server and device builders use these factories. Direct public constructors are removed or protected.
Deprecated API removal and runtime updates
lib/src/main/java/..., core-android/src/main/...
Deprecated authentication, publish, recovery, fallback-host, cipher-key, and registration-token APIs are removed or updated. Reauthentication now reports asynchronous renewal results.
Call-site and test migration
lib/src/test/..., core-android/src/androidTest/..., liveobjects/src/test/..., pubsub-adapter/src/test/..., uts/src/...
Tests and internal helpers use the factory seams. Publish callback tests use Callback<PublishResult>. The adapter preserves CompletionListener behavior through a result-dropping wrapper.
Examples and migration documentation
README.md, UPGRADING.md, examples/..., .claude/skills/..., uts/README.md
Examples use server or device builders. The migration guide documents artifact splits, builders, package changes, and removed APIs.

🟡 Minor · Register the listener before starting the connection. · ConnectionManagerTest.java:329-345

lib/src/test/java/io/ably/pubsub/test/realtime/ConnectionManagerTest.java:329-345
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Register the listener before starting the connection.

autoConnect defaults to true, and RealtimeClient starts connecting in its constructor. If the connection reaches connected before the listener at line 331 is registered, EventEmitter does not replay the event. threadContainer[0] remains null, and the assertion dereferences it.

Set opts.autoConnect = false, register the connected and closed listeners, then call ably.connect(). Wait for closed and for the captured handler thread to terminate instead of using a fixed sleep.

ttypic force-pushed the integration/split-5-renaming branch from b13df1a to 3e443be Compare September 20, 2026 20:25
ttypic and others added 2 commits September 20, 2026 21:36
2.0 drops every member this package had marked deprecated, including the
core client constructors that the package split deprecated in favour of
the side-declaring device and server doors.

- Legacy members go with it: ChannelOptions.fromCipherKey,
  Connection.recoveryKey and its ConnectionState-keyed emit/on/once,
  ChannelBase.sync, the publish/publishAsync CompletionListener overloads,
  Auth.authorise, Auth.renew, TokenDetails/TokenRequest.fromJSON,
  ClientOptions.fallbackHostsUseDefault and RegistrationToken.Type.GCM.

- The RealtimeClient and PubSubHttpClient constructors become protected,
  and construction moves behind RealtimeClientFactory/HttpClientFactory in
  the clients' own packages. The doors build through that seam, as do this
  SDK's own tests and the UTS `core` side mode; application code has only
  the builders left.

- Server-initiated reauth now emits its UPDATE event from the renewAuth
  completion callback, so the event reports the outcome of the reauth
  rather than only that one was started.

- Dropping GCM shifts FCM's ordinal from 1 to 0, so an Android device that
  persisted a token type under an older version no longer restores it and
  requests a fresh FCM token instead.

The tests follow the same path: the completion waiters also implement
Callback<PublishResult> so they can be handed to the surviving publish
overloads, and the tests that only covered removed behaviour go - the
fallbackHostsUseDefault fallback cases, and the fromCipherKey crypto test
whose comment asked for exactly that. The example app builds through
PubSubDevice, and the READMEs show the builders.

These imports name types their files no longer refer to. Checkstyle does
configure the UnusedImports rule, but only :core and :server apply the
plugin and it covers neither Kotlin sources nor Android androidTest
source sets, which is where four of the five files sit.
