Add Push Notification inside your project

1. Add CometChat SDK.

We recommend using CocoaPods, as they are the most advanced way of managing iOS project dependencies. Open a terminal window, move to your project directory, and then update the SDK by running the following command.

$ pod install

If the pod installation fails due to Cocoapods dependancy issue then use the below command to install the framework through cocoapods.

 pod install --repo-update

2. We are providing two ways to implement push notification for your app.

3. Firebase

4. APNS (Supports Callkit)

Please refer our documentation to intergrate push notification inside your app.

Note:

1. Ignore firebase setup if you're using APNS based approach.
2. Please add Callkit related code carefully to avoid issues.
