Talawa App must work with older & newer versions of the API

Open palisadoes opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  1. It is very likely that Talawa administrators will not upgrade their servers to match the latest version of the mobile app that is downloadable from an app store or the GitHub repository. The users' mobile app will need to adapt and function appropriately when communicating with a version of the API that may not support all the features the latest version of the mobile app expects.
  2. It is also likely that the mobile app installed on another user's phone may be older than the API it is communicating with. The user's mobile app will need to adapt and function appropriately. In this case the user should also be prompted to upgrade their mobile app.

Describe the solution you'd like

We need a way for:

  1. The Talawa mobile app to disable features not supported by the API it is communicating with.
  2. The Talawa mobile app to ignore extra data that may be sent to it by a newer version of the API.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This needs to be researched. We are looking for suggestions.

Approach to be followed (optional)

N/A

Additional context

None
