this was a memleak and fd leak bomb resulting in the app not starting at
all:
```
(nim_status_client:342629): GLib-ERROR **: 11:16:11.873: Creating pipes for GWakeup: Too many open files
/home/jakubgs/bin/StatusIm: line 2: 342627 Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) appimage-run
~/Downloads/Status/StatusIm-Desktop-221206-082906-5ee51a.AppImage
```
Hardcoding this is already far from ideal. We should at least use the
same type that's later used in desktop before sending images to
status-go, **before** this gets fixed properly.
The next step will be to detect codecs and use them them dynamically.
LocalAuthentication class - used to authenticate OS' logged user (using Touch Id)
Keychain class - able to store/read/remove item from the Keychain
KeychainManager class - manages the flow of storing/reading/removing an item from
the Keychain using own sync/async methods
This change is required as part of the feature issue-2675
- DockShowAppEvent
- OSThemeEvent
- OSNotification
are now part of our `Status` namespace
Corresponding files are renamed and moved to appropriate Status folder.
This is corresponding dotherside part of the issue 1725.
So far we had kind of a memory leak, cause objects added to the filter were not
deleted ever. When the app is closing, it just removes filters, but doesn't
delete them.
I faced a logical issue, that we were sending qmlengine pointer to the
installEventFilter method, instead object which may or may not rely on the
qqmlengine instance, that is fixed also.
Fixes: #1725
Add an event filter to `qApp` that can detect a dock icon click (in macos) when the main window is hidden or closed.

Intended to prevent Nim from inopportunely garbage collecting cstrings passed
through signal_handler/dos_signal as they make their way back to the main
thread
Bumps status-go to include the fix for not fetching balance for
overridden tokens
Add documentation on how to run wallet tests locally using ganache
Closes#9091
Due to changes done in https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/3133
we had to update procedure for adding migration keypair (which includes
local keystor files deletion for the accounts being migrated) and procedure
for account deletion, cause in order to delete local keystore file for the
acount which is being deleted, we have to provide a password now (states
only for non keycard accounts, keycard accounts use empty password).
This adjust the front-end for the import tool by handling new
properties that have been added to the discord import progress signals.
Namely, the import is now done in chunks, so the progress signal
contains information about how many chunks have been processed.
This needs: https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/3134Closes#9262#9261
Because we've switched to `QuotedMessage` as an attached payload to
messages to make message replies data more reliable, we lost some of
the author information in imported messages, that was available prior
to that move.
This commit introduces `quotedMessageAuthorDisplayName` and
`quotedMessageAuthorAvatar` to our model so it can be set in case
we can't retrieve contact details for a given message (which is always
the case for imported messages)
Generating addresses was done on the status-go side, but now since `ExportPublic`
flow from the keycard library supports deriving addresses for list of derivation paths
we're using it in the desktop app for `SetupNewKeycardNewSeedPhrase` flow.
Fixes#8689
This fixes the emoji reaction not showing, BUT also the delete, edits and pins. They were all not showing because the messages were not encrypted, so they didn't fall in the right topic
Fixes#7512
The problem was twofold.
1. We didn't try to fetch the messages when we re-joined, since the cursor was not reseted
2. The messages are not longer in the DB since they get deleted on joining.
I fixed 1. by reseting the cursor on leave and calling fetch on spectate
I fixed 2. in the status-go PR so that we no longer delete the messages when leaving.
This adds support for receiving copied images from the clipboard
and pasting it into the chat input.
After pasting, chat input will recognize the image and render a preview
similar to how it would do it when selecting images via the file dialog.
**Also important to note**:
At the time of this PR, it seems that desktop only supports sending
jpegs to status-go. I'm not sure if this was deliberately done this way
because the protocol says it supports jpg, png, webp and gif.
Because of this, pasting for example pngs will work, however
transparency will be lost (which is also most likely the cause of #8820)
This PR operates on that assumption. So while it adds support for
copy/pasting images, it does not address the lack of file type support.
Closes#3395
We were ignoring the `removedChats` in the messenger response and
therefore never processed deleted community chats in the client.
This commit adds `removedChats` to `handleCommunityUpdates()` and
ensures that the community channel's ID is used when emitting a signal
to the app.
This needs: https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2973Closes#8000
- do not restrict NicknamePopup's regexp to ASCII characters

This includes a fix in message signals that would otherwise break Desktop's
signal encoding.
See: https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/pull/7888
Hence, it reverts the now unnecessary fix introduced in:
Revert "fix(signals_manager): ensure `savedAddresses` event has `JNull` check"
This reverts commit 013e226c66.
Main changes:
- Bump status-go to include the sync saved addresses implementation
- Use saved addresses modifier API from messaging instead of wallet
in order to have incremental sync
- Update saved addresses model on sync changes for saved addresses
Closes#7229
Depends on statug-go favourite flag extension and merging of `favourites`
with `saved_address` tables and API
Additional changes:
- Remove duplicate name instead of ESN
Closes: #6546
New procs added:
- accounts service `createAccountFromMnemonic`
- accounts service `convertToKeycardAccount`
- accounts service `verifyPassword`
- wallet service `fetchBalanceForAddress`
Keycard library from this commit brings new changes in terms of
signals being sent by the lib in case of reader is not plugged in,
card is not inserted, card is inserted, that means the following
signals are sent only when it's really needed:
`"{\"type\":\"keycard.flow-result\",\"event\":{\"error\":\"connection-error\"}}"`
`"{\"type\":\"keycard.action.insert-card\",\"event\":{\"error\":\"connection-error\"}}"`
`"{\"type\":\"keycard.action.card-inserted\",\"event\":{}}"`
Enable preview for gifs after enabling the gif functionality
Disable gif functionality if the preview was disabled
Addition fixes
- The gifs weren't checked if all images weren't enabled
- The subdomain wasn't checked for whitelisting if the main domain wasn't enabled
- Image clicking
- Dismiss asking for unfurling was not updating the state
Considerations
- Looked into having the "gif enabled" - "tenor unfurling" relation
embedded in the controller but it would require extensive refactoring
by implementing a data-model for unfurling whitelisted domains

This partially covers factory reset flow. The part where user is able to select which accounts
wants to remove/keep from/on a keycard will be added later once we add the keycard settings part
for storing those data to a keycard.

Contains minimal account creation and login
Considerations:
- migrated status-go wrapper and login code from the fix/cpp-structure (241eec)
- Minimal refactoring and changes at the moment. Expect further refactoring
follow up to reach the desired state.
- Fix missing keychain initialization
- Fix accounts DB initialization call done by startup -> Controller.openedAccounts -> status-go.OpenAccounts calls
- Small refactoring and todos for other steps
- fix SignalsManager
- fix async access to dereferenced status-go memory from SignalsManager
- fix SignalsManager not starting when registering
- finish dev end to end test for create account and login
- small improvements and added TODOs for future work
- add onboarding test helpers and start messaging test
- Refactoring towards Login UI integration
Closes: #5909Closes: #6028
Considerations
- Use versioned files. Versioned Qt CMake APIs are disabled to force explicit calls and say that we don't support older `QT`s
- Don't use blobbing. Use `target_sources` and `qt_target_qml_sources`
- Distribute `CMake` definitions closer to the context: main folders with their own `CMakeLists.txt`
- Everything in libraries under `Status` namespace for cleaner code.
- Includes are exposed with Module folder externally and without prefix internally
- File/Folders name matches definitions they contain for uniformity that leads to cleaner code
- All source files (cpp, qml, js ...) have to be added to one of the CMakeLists.txt files to be tracked by CMake build system.
- Use BUILD_DEBUG, BUILD_RELEASE and BUILD_DEVELOPMENT variables from Helpers library
- Avoid Include directories. Not needed anymore CMake `target_*` APIs handles this through `INTERFACE`, `PUBLIC` and `PRIVATE` scope identifiers
- `StatusQ` is meant to be compiled as an external library, therefore StatusQ tests are kept inside its own directory
- Forced CMake version to `3.21` for the latest features and fixes. It is desired to be kept as recent as possible due to its backward compatibility. Following Qt's shipped version might be an option
- Depends on status-go changes to allow forcing of arm for apple silicon
Found limitations to CMake Qt API with Qt 6.3
- Having `0` as major version when using `qt_add_qml_module` doesn't work. Qml engine reports loading the `qmldir` but won't load the plugin library and no error is reported outside that exposed types are not found.
- `qt_target_qml_sources` doesn't work now, it generate a double copy error when deploying qml files in bin-directory. For now we stick with adding files using `qt_add_qml_module` central place
- Need to add `OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` to `qt_add_qml_module` to use the workaround
- If `MACOSX_BUNDLE` target property is set breaks importing of QML files. Disabled until fixed or workaround found
- For an unknown reason application executable tries to include the `QML_ELEMENT` include files, therefore for now I include all the C++ qml elements in INTERFACE
Bookmarks were only synced when devices were synced, but not when
bookmarks were added/removed/updated.
To account for this, there's are new messenger APIs in status-go
proposed here: https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2709
Based on those APIs, desktop can now add/remove/update bookmarks and the
changes are automatically synced to other devices in real-time.
This commit also ensures that changes from other devices with regards to
bookmarks are handled and updated on the current device.
Partially addresses #5201
Use new `PrivacyStore` method getPasswordStrengthScore and link it to the new password strength bar value.
Used backend/general to call to `status-go` method and services/general to define the common `GetPasswordStrengthScore` service.
Added onboarding chain to get password strength score information from `OnboardingStore` to `status-go` call.
Closes#5096
- all unused/unnecessary files remove
- `status-lib` references updated due to cleaning on that side
- necessary submodules added (those removed from status lib)

Initial structure for MainModule containing ChatSectionModule and
CommunitySectionModule is added, as well as initial structure for
StartupModule containing OnboardingModule and LoginModule.
Order of execution is updated and adapted to the current app state.
Main module gets loaded once a user is successfully logged in.
Turns out we've been accidentally resetting the channel's `position`
property to `0` by not sending it over to status-lib's underlying
`editCommunityChat` API.
This fixes it by using a newer version of status-lib which supports
the `position` paramter in `editCommunityChat` and then sending that
value along from the edit channel popup.

Sometimes when blocking users and changes channels, blocked user messages would still appear.
This PR fixes the issue by toggling a `hide` property on messages from a contact when that contact is blocked or unblocked. Previously, the messages were only removed from the view when the contact was blocked, but when the view was reloaded, that state was not tracked correctly.
In case clicked channel:
- exists in a community -> the app will switch you to it
- doesn't exist in a community, but exists in the public chat list -> the app
will switch to `Chat` section and also to the appropriate channel there
- doesn't exist in a community and doesn't exist in the public chat list -> the app
will switch to `Chat` section and join new channel
Fixes: #3489
This feature works for MacOs only, for now.
On login, whether new or already created user may select between options:
"Store" - store password to the Keychain
"Not now" - don't store it now, but ask next time again
"Never" - don't store them ever and don't ask again
Selected preference may be changed later in:
`ProfileSettings > Privacy and security > Store pass to Keychain`
On the next app run, if `Store` was selected, a user will be asked to confirm
his identity using Touch Id in order to log in the app. If any error happens
he will be able to login using password.
Fixes: #2675

Fix a typo in a recently added header file in DOtherSide that causes problems
on case-sensitive filesystems, e.g. on Linux.
Also unify the build command for DOtherSide across platforms.
Prior to this commit, loaded channels and chats would always be
sorted by date of last message received, with the latest one being
moved to the top of the list.
When new channels or chats are joined, they are added on top of the
list as well, however, when the application is restarted,
those new joined chats would not necessarily show up at the top anymore
becaue nothing keeps track of when a channel was joined, which should
be taken into account when preserving the order.
The changes introduced in this commit solve this by introducing a
new `joined` property on the `Chat` type which gets updated with
the current timestamp whenever a channel is joined.
It also depends on the changes made to the `status-go` client, which
have to land first: https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2158Closes: #1832
Add an event filter to `qApp` that can detect a dock icon click (in macos) when the main window is hidden or closed.

In the repo:
```
$ bin/nim_status_client --help
```
In the packaged app (macOS example):
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --help
```
Output:
```
Usage:
nim_status_client [OPTIONS]...
The following options are available:
-d, --dataDir Status Desktop data directory.
```
**Using the option**
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/master/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/master"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd ~/status-ci-builds/PR-4242/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir:"${HOME}/status-dirs/PR-4242"
```
The path supplied can be relative or absolute, and can be specified with
`--dataDir:[path]`, `--dataDir=[path]`, `-d:[path]`, or `-d=[path]`.
Either `:` or `=` must be used, i.e. this *will not* work: `--dataDir [path]`
or `-d [path]`.
The name of the option follows Nim's partial case-insensitivity rules, so
`--dataDir`, `--datadir`, and `--data_dir` are all equivalent. See
[Identifier equality][ieq] in the Nim Manual.
It is possible to run the same build in multiple terminals by supplying
different `--dataDir`, i.e. this works:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some1"
```
In another terminal:
```
$ cd /Applications/Status.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./nim_status_client --dataDir="${HOME}/temp/some2"
```
**Windows**
It is recommended to use a Git Bash or MSYS2 terminal when invoking
`bin/nim_status_client.exe` (development build) or `bin/Status.exe` (production
build) on the command-line. The reason is that if the exe is invoked in a
session of `cmd.exe` it will return to the prompt immediately; the app will run
but there will be no output in the terminal. In any case, the `--dataDir`
option will take effect whether the exe is invoked in `cmd.exe` or a
recommended terminal.
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client.exe` directly
instead of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option,
it is required to first setup the `PATH` environment variable correctly. See
the `run-windows` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.
**Linux**
The `--dataDir` option may be passed to command-line invocation of a
production (AppImage) build in the same way as passing it to a development
build:
```
$ Status.AppImage --dataDir:/path/to/wherever
```
For development builds, when invoking `bin/nim_status_client` directly instead
of via `make run`, because e.g. you wish to use the `--dataDir` option, it is
required to setup the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable correctly. See the
`run-linux` target in this repo's Makefile for more information.

BREAKING CHANGE: The `qt` subdir of the app's data directory is now a sibling
of the status-go directory rather than a subdir of the status-go directory:
```
Status (app data directory)
├── data (status-go directory)
├── qt
└── tmp
```
Because app settings are stored in the `qt` directory that means that existing
installations will lose their customized settings.
At app startup, it would be possible to detect `Status/data/qt` and if
`Status/qt` doesn't exist yet then copy `Status/data/qt` to
`Status/qt`. However, there was some concern that behavior could lead to
problems later on if we forget the workaround is in place. So for now that
settings preservation strategy has not been implemented, but it might be before
this commit is merged pending full team awareness/consensus.
---
Command-line option support is provided by
[nim-confutils](https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils).
The environment variable `NIM_STATUS_CLIENT_DEV` has been removed in favor of
passing a "define" option to the Nim compiler: `-d:development` for development
builds (e.g. `make V=1`) and `-d:production` for packaged builds (e.g. `make
V=1 pkg`). Passing the correct option is handled automatically by the Makefile.
A make variable named `RELEASE` has been introduced, which defaults to
`false`. Presently the `RELEASE` variable should not be set on the command-line
nor in CI as more work needs to be done to toggle the proper compiler flags. In
the case of Status Desktop, "release vs. debug" is a concern orthogonal to
"production vs. development". At present, production builds and development
builds are all debug builds, but that will likely change in the future: we can
have non-release CI production builds and local development builds be debug
builds, while release builds in CI would be production builds with
`RELEASE=true` (the compiled executable will be fully optimized).
Prior to the changes in this PR, symmetry is somewhat lacking between
development and production (packaged) builds with respect to the concept of the
"data directory". In development builds the root of the repo effectively serves
as the `Status` directory used by production builds, e.g. on macOS
`~/Library/Application Support/Status`. Also, there's a bit of confusion as to
whether "data directory" refers to a directory for the desktop app's overall
data (including status-go data) or to the specific directory used by status-go.
This PR attempts to provide symmetry and reduce confusion:
* The term "data directory" means the directory used by the desktop app to
store multiple kinds of data and is not a reference to the subdirectory used by
status-go.
* For development builds the "data directory" defaults to `./Status/` relative
to the root of the repo.
* For production builds the "data directory" default is the same as before,
e.g. on macOS it's ` ~/Library/Application Support/Status/`.
The directory used by status-go is `Status/data/`. To be clear, that should be
referred to as the "status-go directory" and not the app's "data directory". It
would nice if we could rename it from `Status/data/` to `Status/status-go/`. We
can do that, I already checked that it works correctly; however, for existing
installations it would require that at app launch we check for the presence of
`Status/data/` and rename it to `Status/status-go`. While simple enough to do,
I was concerned that there might be edge cases where the directory rename could
cause a problem (e.g. if another copy of the app is running) so chose for now
to stick with the status-go directory being `Status/data/`.
---
**NOTES**
More work needs to be done to ensure that all data written by the app is
contained in the default or cli-specified data directory. Currently, both
development and production (packaged) builds are writing to common directories
outside of the data directory, e.g. located within `~/Library/` on
macOS. Changing that behavior seems like it will mainly involve changing
defaults related to Qt components such as the web engine. See:
https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/1141.
In general, additional refactoring could be done in the future. For
example, implementing `StatusDesktopConfig` in
`src/status/libstatus/accounts/constants.nim` (as done in this PR) works fine
for now, but better code organization is desirable.

Bump dotherside to a commit that is on its current master branch. The previous commit and the current commit have the same contents, however the previous commit lived on a branch, and not on the master branch of dotherside.
An attempt to bump nimqml to its master branch commit resulted in an error, which has been logged https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/2275. Instead, the commit change here is the same as dotherside — moving the commit hash from its branched version to the commit that lives on the master branch line. However, as mentioned already, it is not at master HEAD due to the error.
The `TaskManager` threadpool is a memory-safe replacement for the `spawnAndSend` operations that are currently causing memory issues in status-desktop.
From a fundamental memory management point of view, `libstatus/settings`, `libstatus/contracts`, and `libstatus/tokens` (custom tokens) have all been converted to `{.threadvar.}`s and `Atomic[bool]`s to maintain the cache and `dirty` flag across threads, respectively, eliminating the need for thread locks and incorrect `{.gcsafe.}` compiler overrides.
The successful [recyclable threadpool experiment from `nim-task-runner`](https://github.com/status-im/nim-task-runner/blob/test/use-cases/test/use_cases/test_sync.nim) using `AsyncChannel[ThreadSafeString]`s was brought over to `status-desktop` and implemented in somewhat of a hardcoded manner, as we knew this would save some time instead of trying to create a fully fleshed out `nim-task-runner` API and build a miraculous macro that may or may not be able to generate the needed API.
The threadpool is started by the `TaskManager` and both the `TaskManager` and the `TaskManager`'s threadpool are started as early as possible in the application lifecycle (in `nim_status_client.nim`). The `TaskManager` creates a thread to run the threadpool. During its initialization, the threadpool then spools up all the threads it will manage and puts them in an idle thread sequence. This is to prevent expensive thread creation and teardown happening during the app's lifetime as it is quite expensive and blocks the main thread. When tasks comes in to the pool, the task is sent to an idle thread, or put in a queue if all threads are busy. The idle thread is moved to the busy thread sequence. When a task is completed, the thread is taken out of the busy threads sequence and moved back in to the sequence of idle threads, effectively recycling it.
The first `spawnAndSend` we were able to change over to the new threadpool was `estimate`, which estimates the gas of a sticker purchase transaction.
From the consumer point of view, the existing `spawnAndSend` to achieve this looks like:
```nim
proc estimate*(self: StickersView, packId: int, address: string, price: string, uuid: string) {.slot.} =
let status_stickers = self.status.stickers
spawnAndSend(self, "setGasEstimate") do:
var success: bool
var estimate = status_stickers.estimateGas(packId, address, price, success)
if not success:
estimate = 325000
let result: tuple[estimate: int, uuid: string] = (estimate, uuid)
Json.encode(result)
```
And the new syntax looks like this:
```nim
proc estimate*(self: StickersView, packId: int, address: string, price: string, uuid: string) {.slot.} =
self.status.taskManager.threadPool.stickers.stickerPackPurchaseGasEstimate(cast[pointer](self.vptr), "setGasEstimate", packId, address, price, uuid)
```
The logic inside the `spawnAndSend` body was moved to [src/status/tasks/stickers.nim](https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/compare/experiment/tasks-3?expand=1#diff-09e57eef00b0cee5c4abdb9039f948d8372e7003e09e934a9b4c7e9167d47658).
This is just the first migration of `spawnAndSend`, however moving the majority of the remaining `spawnAndSend`s will likely just be an exercise in copy/pasta. There will be one or two that may require a bit more thinking, depending how they rely on data from the model.
Once the `spawnAndSend`s have been converted to the threadpool, we can start implementing the [long-running process from the task runner use case experiments](https://github.com/status-im/nim-task-runner/blob/test/use-cases/test/use_cases/test_long_running.nim).
And finally, we can then implement the [async tasks](https://github.com/status-im/nim-task-runner/blob/test/use-cases/test/use_cases/test_async.nim) if needed.
@michaelsbradleyjr and I spent many hours digging in to the depths of nim's memory management in an attempt to understand it. We have created [a presentation with our task runner experiment findings](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ItCxAfsVTcIoH_E4bgvmHljhbU-tC3T6K2A6ahwAedk/edit?usp=sharing), and @michaelsbradleyjr has spent time [answering questions off the back of that presentation.](https://gist.github.com/michaelsbradleyjr/1eaa9937b3fbb4ffff3fb814f0dd82a9).
We have created a fork of `edn.nim` at `status-im/edn.nim` and we need the PR to be merged and the commit hash updated before we can merge this PR in to `status-desktop`.
When the network connection is changed, the sticker packs are cleared and then re-loaded (either loading the offline (installed) sticker packs, or all the sticker packs from the network).
Stickers can be sent while offline, though the sticker images do not load once offline (this is likely a side effect of the bug described below).
There is a known bug in QNetworkAccessManager (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55180) that was re-introduced in 5.14.1 that does not allow us to download resources if we go offline then come back online. The workaround employed in this PR manually sets the NetworkAccessible property of QNetworkAccessManager once we have been connected back online. The NetworkAccessible property is marked as obsolete and will be removed in Qt6, so it is something that we need to be aware of when we upgrade. However the hope is that the bug has been fixed.
Close StickersPopup when disconnected from network (so that re-loading of sticker packs doesn't look out of place).
fix: set network status correctly at load
feat: stickers gas estimate async
feat: When network re-connected, any http images that were not properly loaded in an ImageLoader component will automatically be reloaded.
fix: Sticker button loading icon
chore: Bump nimqml and dotherside
NOTE: This PR uses an updated nimqml and dotherside. The respective changes should be merged first, and the commit hash should be bumped in this PR prior to merging. Relevant PRs:
[https://github.com/status-im/dotherside/pull/20](https://github.com/status-im/dotherside/pull/20)
[https://github.com/status-im/nimqml/pull/17](https://github.com/status-im/nimqml/pull/17)
Fixes#1377.
Fixes#1479.
Two sites have been added to the whitelist: giphy.com and tenor.com.
`imageUrls` in its entirety has been removed and instead all links are being handle through the message `linkUrls`. This prevents double-handling of urls that may or may not be images.
The logic to automatically show links previews works like this:
1. If the setting "display chat images" is enabled, all links that *contain* ".png", ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".svg", ".gif" will be automatically shown. If the URL doesn't contain the extension, we are not downloading it. This was meant to be somewhat of a security compromise as we do not want to download each and every link posted in a message just to find out its true content type.
2. If the above setting is *disabled*, then we follow the whitelist settings for tenor and giphy. This allows us to preview gifs that do not have a file extension in their url.
feat: bump status-go to the commit that supports the new whitelist (https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/2094), and also lets us get link preview data from urls in the whitelist. NOTE: this commit was branched off status-go `develop`, so once it is merged, and we update this PR to the new commit, we will effectively be getting status-go develop changes. We *could* base that status-go PR off of master if it makes things easier.
fix: height on settings update issue
feat: move date/time of message below links
fix: layout issues when changing setting `neverAskAboutUnfurlingAgain`
feat: Add MessageBorder component to aid in showing rounded corners with different radius
YouTube link unfurling was not working for a couple reasons.
There were two main parts fixed:
1. QML context for messages pertaining to linkUrls and imageUrls was changed from implicit to explicit. By this, I mean that any time we referenced linkUrls/imageUrls, we were relying on the knowledge that those values would be populated by some parent context several levels up. Now, we are referring to properties that have been explicitly defined on the components. This offers the ability to reuse components, and makes reading the code and debugging much easier.
2. Error handling has been added to getting link preview data. An unhandled "error" was thrown each time a link that wasn't whitelisted was passed in, causing the app to crash. For example, when a link to a tenor gif was posted in the chat, that URL was not whitelisted, causing the app to crash.
Use nim-web3 library and remove internal encoding funcs that were copied from nim-web3.
Remove all instances of EthAddress (and therefore eth/common/eth_types imports)
