@basims It helps me to know if this issue is present in the core library. Can you please check? Can you also post your Chat SDK initialization code and check to see if there are any stack traces logged in the console.

@bensmiley Thank you for this wonderful library and for your reply. I am able to fix the issue by adding a line .addModule(AudioMessageModule.shared()) in configuration. One more doubt, can I use AudioMessageModule without purchasing a license, if I am implementing the audio message feature on my own? I just want to use the method ChatSDK.audioMessage().sendMessage. recording the audio, showing it in chat and playback are handled by me. I am not using any ChatSDK UI modules.

Hi @basims you would need to have a license if you were to include the AudioMessageModule class OR :chat-sdk-pro-message-audio Gradle dependency in your project. If you use any of the code from the audio message module then you need a license or to support the project through Github Sponsors or Patreon using at least the coffee tier.

If you don't use the module and re-implement all the functionality independently using your own unique approach and code, then you would not need a license.
