ACS 1.1.4 - 14 August 2014

The 1.1.4 release of Appcelerator Cloud Services includes the following updates and bug fixes:

New features

• Added a new count API to that returns the total number of objects of the specified type. This API is available to the following ACS types: ACLs, Chats, Checkins, PhotoCollections, Emails, Events, Files, GeoFences, KeyValues, Messages, CustomObjects, Photos, Places, Posts, PushNotifications, Reviews, Statuses, and Users.

  • For example, the following shows an example cURL request and response for the number of Photos:

    $ curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt "https://api.cloud.appcelerator.com/v1/photos/count.json?key=<YOUR_APP_KEY>&pretty_json=true"

  • Example response:

    {   "meta": {     "code": 200,     "status": "ok",   },   "response": {     "photos": 10.0   } }

Bug fixes

• get_chat_groups now only returns chat groups that the current user belongs to, as expected.
• subscribe_token now properly increases the subscribed device count, as displayed in Dashboard or My Apps.
• Queries now properly limit the number of results specified by the query limit parameter.
• Fixed an issue where valid .p12 certificates were being disabled when ACS could not make a successful connection to Apple Push Notification Service (APNS).
• Fixed an issue where calling keyvalues.incrby or keyvalues.append as an application admin on behalf of another user (by specifying the user_id parameter) would create a new keyvalue belonging to the admin, rather than updating the one belonging to the specified user.
• Fixed an unexpected error ("Export currently in progress") when exporting application data from the My Apps web console.
• An ACS user's first_name or last_name fields can now be set to an empty string, as expected, as long the username field is not empty.
• Fixed an issue when assigning binary data to a keyvalue object.
• Fixed an issue with push_notification/notify.json where a non-admin user was able to send a geo-based notification without specifying either to_ids or friends fields.
• Fixed an issue where creating a new Review for a Photo object made the reviewed photo the primary photo for the new review.
• The push notification logs in the My Apps web console now shows the correct push count for Android and IOS devices.
