Release Notes - Android

This page will keep you updated with all the releases of Android SDK.

v2.0.1​

Release Date: 28th July 2026

Major release — contains breaking changes. See the Migration Guide.

Change Log:

  • New PubSub: Rebuilt for higher throughput and better backpressure handling. Messaging now runs off the main thread, so real-time traffic never blocks your UI.
    • onBatchReceived delivers live messages in batches for high-throughput topics, before the per-message onMessageReceived calls.
    • Backpressure control through PubSubSubscribeOptions — realtimeOverflow (QUEUE | DROP), maxQueue, newMessageLimit, and oldMessageLimit.
    • onMessageDrop reports how many live messages were lost when the buffer overflows under QUEUE.
    • onOldMessagesReceived streams persisted messages in batches, with info.isLast() marking the final one.
  • When a meeting fails to join during join() method, the SDK now emits a structured Error event with the corresponding code and message, transitions to the FAILED state, and aborts the join.
try{
  val options = PubSubSubscribeOptions()
  options.oldMessageLimit = 50
  options.realtimeOverflow = PubSubSubscribeOptions.RealtimeOverflow.QUEUE
  options.maxQueue = 100

  meeting!!.pubSub.subscribe("CHAT", pubSubMessageListener, options)
} catch (e: Exception) {
    Log.d("VideoSDK", "subscribe() Failed: ${e.message}")
}

Breaking Changes:

  • onError payload key renamed. type is now name. There is no compatibility alias — apps reading error.getString("type") must switch to error.getString("name"). The code and message keys are unchanged.
  • History replay is now batched. onOldMessagesReceived(messages) was previously called once with the topic's full history. It is now called once per batch with a partial list, so a listener that replaces its message list on each call will drop messages — append instead. A topic with no persisted history no longer fires the callback at all, so it can no longer be used as a "replay finished" signal; override onOldMessagesReceived(messages, info) and watch info.isLast() for that.
  • PubSub methods now throw. publish(), subscribe() and unsubscribe() throw IllegalStateException when the meeting is not connected or is reconnecting, instead of failing silently. Guard calls made outside an active meeting — for example an unsubscribe() in onDestroy().
override fun onError(error: JSONObject) {
    val code = error.optInt("code")
    val name = error.optString("name") // was "type" before v2.0.0
    val message = error.optString("message")
    Log.e("#error", "Error $code ($name): $message")
}

v1.3.0​

Release Date: 7th July 2026

Change Log :

  • Added support for selectable video codecs in createCameraVideoTrack(). The codec option supports VP8, VP9, AV1, and H264 through VideoCodec.

Docs : Codec

v1.2.3​

Release Date: 14th June 2026

Improvements:

  • Faster room events under PubSub load: PubSub, mode change, entry-request and media-toggle operations now complete asynchronously. Previously these could delay the delivery of other room events while waiting for the server to acknowledge; in PubSub-heavy rooms this is a substantial responsiveness improvement.

Bug Fixes:

  • Resolved a rare failure when changeMode was called concurrently with leaving a meeting.
  • Disabling the microphone or camera during leaving a meeting is now handled safely.

v1.2.2​

Release Date: 22nd May 2026

Bug Fixes:

  • Stability of connection-statistics collection: Attaching and detaching statistics probes is now fully tolerant of streams that are started and stopped in quick succession. Statistics collection is best-effort by design, and can no longer affect the meeting itself under any timing condition. Apps that toggle the microphone, camera or screen share rapidly are recommended to move to 1.2.2 or later.

v1.2.1​

Release Date: 8th May 2026

Change Log :
