This an updated version of MessengerKit, a drop-in UI for messenger interfaces on iOS built in Swift. Centred around a single UIViewController, VHMessengerKit is themeable to fit your needs and includes a number of powerful features:
-
UICollectionViewbased with pre-loading and caching of size calculation for bubbles. - Auto-growing input view.
- Multiple cell types: text, large-emoji, image, video, location and gifs.
- Presentation of
SFSafariViewController. - Built-in, customisable themes.
- A custom theming system to bring your own
UICollectionViewCells, headers, footers, and input views. - Avatar support (currently only in the
travamigostheme).
The framework is actively being used and maintained in one of our apps, Vivus.
VHMessengerKit requires Swift 4.2 and iOS 11.0 or later.
