The CometChat UI Kit for iOS provides a seamless solution to integrate chat functionality into your iOS applications. With prebuilt, modular, and customizable UI components, it accelerates development and ensures your chat application is robust, scalable, and tailored to your needs.
CometChatUIKit.init() must be called before rendering any UI Kit components or calling any SDK methods. Initialization must complete before login.
Auth Key is for development/testing only. In production, generate Auth Tokens on your server using the REST API and pass them to the client. Never expose Auth Keys in production client code.
