stream-chat-swift VS Auth0.Android

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.

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

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.

It does not work with application context https://github.com/auth0/Auth0.Android/issues/521

Have you considered using an identity service? I faced the same questions recently when using Flask as an API backend for a React site without Flask-Login. My answer was Auth0. They store the users for you (if you want), they let you authenticate with OpenID and OAuth providers (if you want), they support 2FA by flipping a switch. They have SDKs on every language/platform you can think of.

Awesome tech is made by awesome people. And we’re always looking for new team members who bring the energy, passion, commitment, and collaboration that has made Auth0 the great company it is today.

So what do we exactly build? Auth0 is an authentication and authorization platform designed by developers, for developers. Basically, we make companies’ login boxes safe, secure, and seamless for anyone logging in. Our mission is to secure the world’s identities so innovators can innovate. But it’s a big mission that requires a lot of teamwork.

Words, code, or people, whatever your skill, there’s a place for you here.

Auth0 makes the internet safer by safeguarding billions of login transactions each month.

Our team is spread across more than 35 countries and we are proud to continually be recognized as a great place to work. Culture is critical to us, and we are transparent about our vision and principles. We practice N+1>N which applies to everything from our people to how we iterate our tech; we believe in one team, one score; and we give a shit about everything we do.

Congratulations! You've built the basis of a functioning passwordless chat app with Stream Chat and Auth0. I encourage you to browse through Stream Chat's docs, Auth0's iOS passwordless docs, and experiment with the project you just built. Good luck on your app development!

Every startup should consider the trade-offs of buying vs building non-differentiated features like authentication, notifications, payments etc. Companies like Auth0 (authentication and authorization platform), Courier (one API to design and deliver notifications across multiple channels), and Stripe (payments infrastructure for the internet) have solved these problems so you, the entrepreneur or developer, can stay laser-focused on what your users truly want out of your product.

In this post, I want to look at how we can use Auth0 and an OIDC provider for Static Web Apps.
