Improvement

Enable to get pending email/ phone that has not been verified yet.

New API

• KiiUser#getPendingPhone()
• KiiUser#getPendingEmail()

When the application config requires Phone/ Email verification, new Phone/ Email is stored as pending identifier until the verification has been done. This API enables the application to show the accurate status of the KiiUser to end users.

Behavior change

Timing of changing email/ phone property ot the KiiUser

After the following API has been completed, - KiiUser#changePhone(String), KiiUser#changePhone(KiiUserCallBack, String) - KiiUser#changeEmail(String), KiiUser#changeEmail(KiiUserCallBack, String

Value obtained by getPhone()/ getEmail() won't be changed immediately by SDK. The reason is new Phone/ Email has not been promoted as users' Phone/ Email if the verification has not been done. Please call #refresh() and check the existence of pendingPhone/ Email.

• PendingPhone
