What happens if the API REST MINT endpoint is down when a devices is trying to send data? The app will hangs? Crash? Retry after few seconds without affecting normal app behavior?
MINT SDK will write the new data to the disk up to the limit of 420kb (140k x 3 files) and will try to send the data if app restarts, flush() is called or when disk storage limit is reached again.
What happens if the API REST MINT endpoint answers with HTTP 5XX?
In HTTP parlance 5xx considered server side error and MINT SDK will follow the same rules as in the case of MINT backend unavailability.
What happens if the API REST MINT takes too much time in their answers?
MINT SDK network invocation are happening asynchronously with respect to the rest of the app code and shouldn’t block the app. MINT uses 10 sec connection and availability of server response timeout. If the transmission times out it will be considered as server unavailabilty and the logic described in first answer will kick in.
Can in some case the API REST MINT crash/block/freeze the app?
We are making extra effort not to affect the app under any circumstances. SDK are architected and engineered for this. There is small fixed size overhead expected related to the SDK functionality, but it should not affect user experience or app performance in any material way.
