Getting Started

0. Minimum Requirements

• iOS 10.0 or later

• Xcode 15.0 or later Starting April 29, 2024, Xcode 15.0 or later is required to submit apps to the app store. https://developer.apple.com/news/upcoming-requirements/?id=04292024a

• Support for CocoaPods

1. Installing iOS SDK

1) Open project's Podfile and add the following line:

pod 'talkplus-ios'

2) Run pod install to install TalkPlus SDK.

pod install

Current latest version is 0.6.0

2. Initialize

1) import TalkPlus to get started.

Objective-C

#import <TalkPlus/TalkPlus.h> 

Swift

import TalkPlus

2) Initialize TalkPlus SDK in either AppDelegate or Main ViewController.

Objective-C

[[TalkPlus sharedInstance] initWithAppId:@"YOUR_APP_ID"];

Swift

TalkPlus.sharedInstance()?.initWithAppId("YOUR_APP_ID")

3. Login / Logout

• You need to login by calling login:success:failure: once TalkPlus SDK has been initialized.

• Once user is logged in, FCM token that is registered stays valid until the user logs out. This allows the user to receive push notifications even when offline.

• When user logs out, make sure to call logout function. If this step is omitted and a different user logs into the same device, the latter user will continue to receive push messages intended for the previous user.

4. Realtime Message

• TalkPlus subscribes/unsubscribes to realtime channels in sync with app life cycle.

• TalkPlus SDK uses WebSocket to receive messages when app is in foreground. When app goes to background, SDK uses FCM to handle messages.

• If you intend to receive messages when app goes into background, please refer to Push Notification section on how to set up FCM.
• FCM integration is used alongside WebSocket in order to minimize app battery consumption.
