Softbutton Delay

[rbright55]

Bug Report

With the latest sdk (6.7.0), softbuttons are not updating as quickly. I believe it may be due to the addition of the softbutton manager.

Reproduction Steps

1. Load app and update softbutton text every couple seconds using the screenmanager

Expected Behavior

Softbuttons should update on SYNC with the new text

Observed Behavior

Softbuttons are not updating as fast. ( issue was not seen sdk 6.5.0)

OS & Version Information

• iOS Version: 13.5
• SDL iOS Version: 6.7.0
• Testing Against: App Partner beta app
• SYNC 3

Hi @rbright55, thank you for reporting this issue. We have already completed development and started testing for the iOS 7.0 release, but will look to include a fix for this issue in the following release. If you are able to submit a PR to resolve this issue, please let us know once that is ready for review. Thanks!

Hi @rbright55, I have noticed some of this slowdown on TDKs, however I have not noticed this slowdown on Manticore, which leads me to believe that at least part of the issue is Sync related. I can update the internal queues to run on the highest possible QOS (and I do think that is a good idea), but unless you have some data that shows the internal queues clogging up and not sending the Shows, I'm not sure what else to do.

I have noticed that when Show requests are sent in too quick of a sequence, Sync will often slow down and not respond for a significant period of time.

Latest SDL version shows improvements with Show RPCs. Doesn't appear to be an issue any longer.
