stream-chat-android VS stream-chat-swift

Nothing, but that hardly achieves the same thing. For example, if you're building an API that others will consume and you want to let them dynamically replace parts of the UI within your components, you'll have quite a challenge giving your users a simple and flexible API based on Views (see for example many things in Stream's SDK that I used to work on). Gets even more difficult if this is within a RecyclerView.

So that's the implementation we ended up with for now! You can find all of this code in the Chat Android SDK's GitHub repository if you want to look at it in a real project.

Check out Stream on Github. They have a few chat SDKs for iOS, Android, React and a few others. Website: https://getstream.io/

We’ll use our very own Android Chat SDK in our examples. This SDK is made up of multiple artifacts, but for simplification, we’ll just talk about publishing the low-level networking client, which lives in the stream-chat-android-client module of the GitHub repository.

We already ship a UI Components library in our Chat SDK which contains ready-to-go, fully-featured Android Views to drop into your app, along with ViewModels that let you connect them to business logic in just a single line of code. You can check out how that works in our Android Chat Tutorial.

Cometchat's idiomatic SDKs are designed to help you build quickly. Available for iOS, Android, and web, they all work together, making cross-platform a breeze. With documentation that's best in class, in-depth tutorials, and demo apps for every platform, it is easier than ever to add 1:1 and group voice and video call functionality to your app.

Think about the edge that you can have over thousands other people looking for a job like you. One of the ways to do it – tailor your (even small) experience to the company you are applying to. E.g. Let's take a company like Stream that have an open-source Swift SDK, try to contribute to their SDK, maybe close some `good-first-issue`s here and there, do some documentation improvements, enrich their example app. So that when you feel like you are ready to knock their door – you already have an edge over others – you don't need onboarding (because you already know most of their codebase, you even completed your first few tasks while yet not being employed!)

Programming Languages: Swift, Kotlin, Java

We reached out to Alex Nagy, co-founder and CTO of Rebeloper, to learn if he could add chat to his iOS app in as little as five minutes using the Stream iOS Swift SDK.

In this article, we'll build an iOS chat application with Stream Chat, for its fully featured iOS chat components and Auth0's passwordless features for authentication.

It's also harder to write unit tests without the possibility of instantiating a mock instance of your class. The last point is not valid for Stream Chat Swift SDK's ChatClient, since its initializer is public to support the Dependency Injection pattern, which we'll discuss next.
