iOS Sample App by CometChat

This reference application showcases the integration of CometChat's iOS UI Kit within an iOS framework. It provides developers with examples of implementing real-time messaging and voice and video calling features in their iOS-based applications.

Prerequisites

• Xcode
• pod (CocoaPods)
• Sign up for a CometChat account to get your app credentials: App ID, Region, and Auth Key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/cometchat/cometchat-sample-app-ios.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

     cd cometchat-sample-app-ios/CometChatSwift

3. Install dependencies:

     pod install

4. If you're facing any issues while installing pods then use the below command.

     pod install --repo-update

5. In Xcode, open the project by opening cometchat-sample-app-ios/CometChatSwift.xcworkspace

6. Enter your CometChat App ID, Region, and Auth Key in the CometChatSwift/AppConstants.swift file:

   	static var REGION = "<# Enter Your Region Code Here #>"
   	}

   Lines 109 to 111 in 056b60f

   	func fetchSampleLoginData(){
   	let url = URL(string: "https://assets.cometchat.io/sampleapp/sampledata.json")!
   	URLSession.shared.fetchData(for: url) { (result: Result<SampleUsers, Error>) in
