We should do this. As Bolt for JS has a similar code, we can replace the code in Bolt for JS with this new package in Bolt's next major version. As far as I know, the points to consider are:

• Should the return value type be just a boolean value or an object holding a boolean result and error code?
• How to keep the backward-compatibility of ReceiverAuthenticityError and its error mesage in Bolt

The verify-request does not seem to be working for the event calls, as the request body seems to be coming serialized now..

Hi @mim-Armand,

as the request body seems to be coming serialized now

This situation might be caused by some settings in your application. For instance, if your app is built with Express.js, having Express middleware may cause this. If you have more to ask on this, please feel free to create a new issue for the question! (this issue #1135 is for the task to create a new package, so please avoid continuing this conversation here)
