– shutdown

Terminates all timers and releases any associated listeners.

- (void)shutdown

Discussion

TwilioAccessManager.h

– registerClient:forUpdates:

Registers a new listener to receive token updates. This block should maintain a reference to the client(s) you wish to keep updated. You may have one or more listeners for a given access manager.

- (void)registerClient:(nonnull id)client forUpdates:(nonnull TAMUpdateBlock)updateBlock

Parameters

client

A key to uniquely identify this listener for later removal. Can be the client you wish to update or anything else strongly held by your code. When ‘client’ goes out of scope, so will the listener.
updateBlock

The update block that will be called when a new token arrives.

Discussion

Registers a new listener to receive token updates. This block should maintain a reference to the client(s) you wish to keep updated. You may have one or more listeners for a given access manager.

An important note around strong/weak references here. The client identifier should be a STRONGly held object, for instance the Twilio client sdk instance this update listener is for. This allows access manager to stop sending updates to this client when it goes out of scope.

By contrast, any references to your clients within the update block should be WEAK to avoid retain loops which will keep not only your client but this listener in scope until manually removed. For example, the recommended way to use this method is:

 TwilioAccessManager *accessManager = [TwilioAccessManager accessManagerWithToken:INIITAL_TOKEN_GOES_HERE delegate:self];
 TwilioExampleClient *client = [TwilioExampleClient clientWithToken:accessManager.currentToken];
 __weak typeof(client) weakClient = client;
 [accessManager registerClient:client forUpdates:^(NSString *updatedToken) {
     [weakClient updateToken:updatedToken];
 }];
