Get XMPP Chat History OpenFire

Question

I am trying to implement a chat application using XMPPFramework in iOS, using OpenFire server. My chat is working fine, I am trying to retrieve chat history from server. Ofcourse I have enabled Message Archiving on Server. This is the Request I am sending

<iq type="get">
   <retrieve xmlns="urn:xmpp:archive" with="dev_user80@mydomain">
       <set xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm">
           <max>100</max>
       </set>
   </retrieve>
</iq>

This is the response I am getting.

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" type="error" to="dev_user103@mydomain/6i0qoo9tek">
    <retrieve xmlns="urn:xmpp:archive" with="dev_user80@mydomain">
        <set xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/rsm">
            <max>100</max>
        </set>
    </retrieve>
    <error code="503" type="cancel">
        <service-unavailable xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas">
        </service-unavailable>
    </error>
</iq>

I have gone through all the solutions I could find on the internet but could not find a satisfying solution

Answer 1

change urn:xmpp:archive to urn:xmpp:archive:auto

I had the same issue and determined this by running a discovery request: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html#disco

I sent this IQ:

<iq from='user@mydomain.com'
    id='disco1' 
    to='mydomain.com'
    type='get'>
  <query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
</iq>

My Openfire server with the Monitoring plugin enabled returned this result:

<iq xmlns="jabber:client" type="result" id="disco1" from="mydomain.com" to="user@mydomain.com/resource">

You can see that Automatic Archiving (urn:xmpp:archive:auto) and Archive Management (urn:xmpp:archive:manage) are supported, but Manual Archiving (urn:xmpp:archive:manual) and Archiving Preferences (urn:xmpp:archive:pref) are not.

XEP-0313 is also supported (listed as urn:xmpp:mam:0) and can retrieve archived messages: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html
