  Hello Apurva

  The file sharing is not officially supported yet so that's why you have no documentation for the moment. However, this is actually enabled.

  The error message is saying that you are passing a NSURL * instead of a File * type.

  I guess you are using the following method :

  -(Message *) sendMessage:(NSString *) message fileAttachment:(File *) file to:(Conversation *) conversation completionHandler:(ConversationsManagerServiceSendMessageCompletionHandler) completionHandler attachmentUploadProgressHandler:(ConversationsManagerAttachmentProgressionHandler) progressHandler;

  You can use this code to get a File * from a NSURL * of the file :

          NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];

          File *file = [[ServicesManager sharedInstance].fileSharingService createTemporaryFileWithFileName:[url lastPathComponent] andData:data andURL:url];

  Regards,

  Nghia

  Hello

  Do you have something in message.attachment.thumbnailData ?

  Is your self.attachmentPreview.image well set after your code?
