  3. Scheduled messages (3/4): State Layer API #4358 State Layer API 👈 this PR
  4. Scheduled messages (4/4): Scheduled Messages Demo App #4365 Scheduled Messages Demo App

🎯 Goal

Support scheduled messages in the State Layer, for async/await and SwiftUI apps.

📝 Summary

  • ChatClient.makeScheduledMessageList(with:) creates a ScheduledMessageList, with get(), loadMoreScheduledMessages(), and async rescheduleMessage, deleteScheduledMessage, sendScheduledMessageNow and resendScheduledMessage.
  • ScheduledMessageListState publishes scheduledMessages and hasLoadedAllScheduledMessages, kept up to date with local changes and events.
  • Chat: async scheduleMessage, scheduleReply, updateScheduledMessage, rescheduleMessage, deleteScheduledMessage and sendScheduledMessageNow.

🛠 Implementation

  • Built on the same ScheduledMessagesRepository as the controllers, with async wrappers, and injected through the environments of Chat and ScheduledMessageList like the other updaters.
  • ScheduledMessageListState observes ScheduledMessageDTO with a StateLayerDatabaseObserver, sorted like the controller.

🧪 Manual Testing Notes

Covered by unit tests. The demo app uses the controllers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for scheduling channel messages and replies, with optional custom message IDs and reply visibility settings.
    • Scheduled messages can be updated, rescheduled, deleted, sent immediately, or resent.
    • Added a scheduled-message list with observable state, query filtering, and pagination.
    • Scheduling operations are available through async calls. Past scheduling dates send messages immediately; scheduling date limits and rounding apply.
    • Load scheduled messages and track when all results have been fetched.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds async scheduled-message repository operations, Chat methods for managing scheduled messages, and a query-backed ScheduledMessageList with observable state and pagination.

Changes: Scheduled Message State Layer

Layer / File(s) Summary
Async repository operations
Sources/StreamChat/Repositories/ScheduledMessagesRepository.swift
Adds async throwing overloads for loading, scheduling, updating, rescheduling, resending, deleting, and sending scheduled messages immediately.
Chat scheduling operations
Sources/StreamChat/StateLayer/Chat.swift, Tests/StreamChatTests/StateLayer/Chat_Tests.swift
Adds Chat APIs to schedule messages and replies, update or reschedule scheduled messages, delete them, and send them immediately. Tests check message content, reply settings, persistence, and operation results.
Scheduled-message list and observation
Sources/StreamChat/StateLayer/ScheduledMessageList.swift, Sources/StreamChat/StateLayer/ScheduledMessageListState.swift, Sources/StreamChat/StateLayer/ScheduledMessageListState+Observer.swift, Sources/StreamChat/StateLayer/ChatClient+Factory.swift, Tests/StreamChatTests/StateLayer/ScheduledMessageList_Tests.swift, StreamChat.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
Adds a factory and observable list with query-based loading, pagination, and scheduled-message actions. The state observes database results. Tests cover restoration, filtering, pagination, and list operations.

A list cannot start at a requested page, and overlapping loads can show stale messages or incorrect pagination. Address these list behaviors before merging.

- Around line 47-50: Update loadMoreScheduledMessages to check
state.hasLoadedAllScheduledMessages before calling loadScheduledMessages and
return an empty array when it is true. Preserve the existing cursor and
page-size behavior when more scheduled messages remain.

Review comments at
@Sources/StreamChat/StateLayer/ScheduledMessageListState+Observer.swift:
- Around line 16-33: Update `start(with:)` so a
`StateLayerDatabaseObserver.startObserving` failure is not silently converted
into an empty scheduled-message state: retain the startup error and retry
observing after the database load, or propagate the failure to the caller so it
can handle it.

Looks good, we just need to make sure we rename Page in the other PR

// MARK: - Async

extension ScheduledMessagesRepository {
func load(query: ScheduledMessageListQuery) async throws -> Page {

just noticed it here - Page seems like a very generic name, can we make it more specific please?

Base automatically changed from add/scheduled-messages-controllers to develop October 28, 2026 22:09
Add ScheduledMessageList and ScheduledMessageListState, created with ChatClient.makeScheduledMessageList(with:), and async methods on Chat to schedule, update, reschedule, delete and send now scheduled messages and replies.
Without a next cursor, loadMoreScheduledMessages() requested the first page again. It now returns an empty array.
Like the controllers, scheduling, editing, rescheduling and resending save
the changes locally and return. The server answers later on the scheduled
message, unlike sendMessage, which waits for it.
…e sent

Like the controllers, sending now marks the message locally and does not
wait for the server.
