Enquire Status of Packet ID after publishing a Message using QoS 1

[rathsai]

Hi,

I see that when I call Publish() method of MqttConnection, it returns a Packet Id.

Any idea how I can enquire the status of that particular Packet ID ? Is there an exposed method that we can use to check this ?

Thanks

There isn't a way to inquire about a packet's status. Synchronously returning the id in the public API is something I wish we could take back, but we have to support it now.

Why is it being thought of removing "Synchronous Return of PacketID" ? I find it to be a good feature for keeping track of messages that have been sent at the implementor's side.

It's not being removed; backwards compatibility demands it stay. It was just a mistake to make a part of the API is all.
