Change User Name

Responding to name changes

Whenever a remote peer's name is changed a callback will be received in on(peer: HMSPeer, update: HMSPeerUpdate) of HMSUpdateListener where the update will be of type HMSPeerUpdate.nameUpdated.

When this callback is received the UI for that peer should be updated as well.

The peer who wants to change their name should call the following method on an HMSSDK instance.

let newName = "Ashwini Shetty"
hmsSdk.change(name: newName) { success, error in
   ...
}
