Hiero SDK Community Call - 2026/09/21

Video summary

The Hiero SDK Community Call focused primarily on addressing critical updates and deprecations affecting the development ecosystem, with the account balance query deprecation serving as the top priority across all supported platforms. The team discussed the necessary migration from this legacy query to mirror node queries, which requires a consistent approach to handling HTTP retries and timeouts. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to finalizing a shared proposal for HTTP transport handling, particularly designed to support environments like Java on Android where standard implementations are unavailable. After receiving minor review suggestions from Hendrick, the team agreed that this design is ready for implementation and will be rolled out in the Java, JavaScript, and Go libraries by the end of the current week. In addition to the migration efforts, progress was made on integrating TCK tests directly into continuous integration workflows to streamline the testing process across different SDKs. While the C++ SDK requires a longer build time of approximately thirty to forty minutes for these tests, other languages have already been successfully tested against the TCK suite without issues. The team also noted that while some colleagues were previously working on duplication fixes for the Python SDK, further review is needed to ensure all requested changes are properly addressed before merging. This collaborative effort aims to standardize testing procedures and improve the reliability of the SDKs as they evolve. The meeting concluded with brief updates regarding external events, noting that no specific SDK-related news emerged from the recent HashCon conference, though a security proposal is scheduled for presentation at the upcoming TSC meeting. Attendees were encouraged to review relevant documents in the governance repository if they wish to stay informed about future impacts on the SDKs. With the key technical proposals now aligned and implementation timelines set, the community expressed satisfaction with the progress made and thanked everyone for their participation before ending the call.

Hi Keith. Daniel, >> should we wait a little bit more for others to join? >> Yeah, let's give another minute. >> Okay. H. >> Yeah. 45 minutes. Okay. Uh, let's get going. Uh, welcome to the SDK community call. Um, as always, we'll just talk about all the latest and greatest things with the Hyro SDKs. Um yeah, it seems like our attendance is quite light today. Um I'm actually just coming back from travel, so I didn't have a lot of updates um other than probably the only things that um are the major ones on my radar are the um the account balance query deprecation. And actually, I think two weeks ago, I went through and I created issues in all the repos uh for that deprecation. Uh so that's to me the number one priority across all the SDKs. Um I guess the second priority would be um we still need to work I need to circle back with Hendrickk on the design for adding in the mirror node query um functionality. Uh so that's another one. Um but yeah maybe we can go around. Um Deian did you have any updates from the SDK stuff you're working on? >> Yeah it's on the same topic as you mentioned. So as we migrate away from the account account balance query to the mirror node queries we need to have a consistent handling of the HTTP queries retries and timeouts across the OSD case. So uh what you mentioned is we have a proposal in the cooperation hub. I'm posting uh a link to it right here in the chat. So the proposal defines that the share the shared approach a shared approach that allows applications to supply their own HTTP transport. Uh and this is especially relevant to Java and on Android where the current java.net.http implementation isn't available. So we implemented this uh from our site and we passed it away to handle review. He did a review last week and returned some suggestions. We're currently addressing them and uh whenever he's happy with it, we're going to merge it and start implementing it on our site. So, and we we have planned to implement this and release it on the Java JavaScript and go live uh libraries, not libraries but SDKs uh until the end of our week, the the current week. So this is the most important from our side. >> Okay, that that's great. That's amazing progress. Thank you. Uh so yeah, I guess the key thing is that Hendrik is um okay with the design. So it so you said he reviewed it. Um does he still want changes or is he okay with it? >> Uh they're really minor changes actually. So you can see his comments. they're already addressed and uh I think there are minor changes. >> Okay, that's great. >> Okay, so let's um yeah, let's finalize that and then we can um that that can be the go forward method for all the all the SDKs. Um any other updates from your side, Dian? >> No. Uh actually uh I have been more focused on another project and uh um this is the only main topic that uh I have planned for this convers for this meeting. >> Okay. All right. Um Daniel did you have any updates or Noah any questions or comments? Uh to me on my side uh in the Python SDK we have a PR for the duplication for the duplication of the account balance query and I think uh the one person working on it uh we had some changes that we requested and she has addressed them. So I think we are going to re review again and we see whether it's smart. >> Okay. Which SDK was that that you said? >> The Python SDK. >> Python SDK. Okay. Great. Perfect. >> Just where where where I don't see any activity. It's these other other reports. So >> yeah, I I I think that's something I'll have to work on this week. U maybe um pinging some of my colleagues about the at least the C++ SDK. Um okay. Uh any other questions or updates from anyone? >> Yeah. Uh I I I have an update. We had uh something that we have been working on and uh we were going to present it tomorrow but I just wanted to give you heads up. Um we have uh you know very well we have we work on the TCK tests TCK implementation across the SDKs but uh we were looking in a way on how we can implement them into the CI. So we made we made a separate ripple for the TCK runner so that we can directly run those TCK in the CIO workflows. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So in the details uh I can give that in details but I think we have limited time today. But is there any sorry is there any questions or is there any blockers from your side? >> Uh no no it's perfectly fine. It's perfectly fine and we tested it and it's working fine. Just just one thing is that the C++ takes takes time like around 30 to 40 minutes to to build all those TCK runs. But the rest of the SDKs, we tested it and uh against the TCK suit, they run fine. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um I I I'm just actually as we're talking I'm reading through Deian's proposal. Um uh I didn't have any comments yet. I I mean DM would you mind just quickly uh if I share my screen would you mind quickly just talking through it? Well this is implemented by dosi and uh I'm not uh very deep within it as because as I mentioned I have been moved to work on the solo parts. >> Okay. So maybe maybe in the next meeting we can ask doi to present it. >> Yeah. And uh you can uh uh I can schedule you a meeting with Dossi if you need it or you can a review it and we can answer any of your questions in in the chat. >> Okay. Okay. Sounds good. >> Perfect. All right. Did anyone else have any um issues or comments or things like to discuss? >> Uh not on my side. I'm just curious if there are any any good news from the hash comp. >> Um I don't think we the the topic of SDKs did not come up very much that I remember. Um yeah, so I I don't think there's any updates for this meeting from ha from hashcon. Just [clears throat] for those of you who don't know, hashcon was a a conference we had last week. Um yeah, nothing nothing specific for the SDKs I can think of. >> I see. Well, I was curious, but thank you. >> Um I mean maybe one other topic is that I I am uh supposed to present the security proposal at tomorrow's TSC meeting. Um so yeah, you can find that in the governance repo if you're interested. So that'll maybe just be the Yeah. So tomorrow at the SDK we'll be probably presenting stuff that will have an impact on the SDKs. >> Okay, with that maybe um I'll give everyone's time back. So thank you so much for joining today. >> Thank you K. Bye. >> Thank you. Bye >> bye. Okay.
