v1.3 Migration Guide

This guide details the changes and how to change your code to migrate to Video Upload SDK version 1.3.

ByteArk Stream Service

To upload videos to ByteArk Stream, you are now required to create a form upload. You will obtain formId and formSecret after creating the form. And you are now required to initialize the SDK using these form ID and form secret. Click here for an example code.

Removal of authorizationToken

authorizationToken was removed from the SDK options. Please remove it from either ByteArk Qoder or ByteArk Stream service.

Method Changes

addUploadJob method was removed. Please use addUploadJobs instead. You can now add multiple videos using this new method.

Built-in Video Object Creator

The SDK will now create videos when adding upload jobs. After videos are created, the SDK will also trigger onVideosCreated callback.
