In an effort to better support our developers using open source and open standards, we are announcing that PubNub push notification event delivery is officially deprecated, and will no longer be supported starting March 31, 2024. Developers are asked to migrate their applications to Web Sockets before the deadline.
This will impact the following developers:
Developers directly using PubNub for event notifications
All developers utilizing RingCentral Embeddable to insert a web phone into a web page or application
How to migrate my application to WebSockets?
The steps every developer will need to take follow this simple recipe:
Login to the Developer Console, and edit your app's setting to add the "WebSocket Subscription" app scope to your application.
Upgrade your application to use the most recent version of the RingCentral SDK you have installed.
Make the necessary code changes. In most circumstances, only a few lines of code need to be modified.
Go back to the Developer Console and remove the "PubNub Subscription" scope from your application. This last step is important to signal to RingCentral that you have completed the migration process.
Please consult our WebSockets migration guide for code samples on how to migrate your app in each of our supported programming languages.
How to migrate RingCentral Embeddable to WebSockets?
RingCentral Embeddable is a toolkit that makes it easy to embed a Javascript webphone into any web page. Older versions of RingCentral Embeddable are powered by PubNub behind the scenes, and we recommend developers update to RingCentral Embeddable 1.9 or greater.
