Status updates

• Issue credential protocol

  • Still needed:

    • Start with credential proposal

    • advanced threading

    • validate credential preview against actual credential

• Present proof protocol

  • First PR for presentation request message opened

• AFJ ↔ React Native

  • https://github.com/TimoGlastra/aries-mobile-agent-javascript

  • Errors thrown by rn-indy-sdk do not match errors thrown by indy-sdk for NodeJS (https://github.com/AbsaOSS/rn-indy-sdk/issues/21)

• Started work on `@types/indy-sdk`

  • DefinitelyType will be updated instantly, adding to indy-sdk repo limits us to their release cycle

  • I hope this would also allow us to reuse the types for rn-indy-sdk 

  • https://github.com/TimoGlastra/DefinitelyTyped/tree/%40types/indy-sdk/types/indy-sdk

  • https://github.com/TimoGlastra/aries-framework-javascript/tree/feature/external-indy-sdk-types

Agenda

• Record the meeting

• Show how to run various kind of framework tests

• Reiterate toJSON approach
  
  

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/issues/113

• Inconsistencies between connection and issue credential implementations
  
  

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/issues/115

• Auto accept credentials (+connections)

  • More granular config? (Like ACA-Py with auto-accept-request / auto-accept-response)

  • Currently when you accept the credential request, you accept the whole credential. No option to control every step of the protocol.

    • How will this work with auto-accept credentials? https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/issues/116

• Decide on logger library to use

  • Create custom logger interface so library is abstracted away? 

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/issues/77

• Use new https://didcomm.org prefix for agent message types

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/issues/121

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/features/0348-transition-msg-type-to-https/README.md

• Reiterate possible approaches for `@types/indy-sdk`
