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

Prerequisites

XCode for iOS and Android Studio for Android
pod (CocoaPods) for iOS
Android device or emulator with Android version 5.0 or above.
An iOS device or emulator with iOS 12.0 or above.
Sign up for a CometChat account to get your app credentials: App ID, Region, and Auth Key

Installation

Clone the repository:

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

Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd cometchat-sample-app-flutter
```
Install flutter dependencies
```
flutter pub get
```

Enter your CometChat App ID, Region, and Auth Key in the lib/app_constants.dart file:

cometchat-sample-app-flutter/lib/app_constants.dart

Lines 1 to 5 in 68a5a32

    
           class AppConstants { 
        
              static const String appId = "APP_ID"; 
        
              static const String authKey = "AUTH_KEY"; 
        
              static const String region = "REGION"; 
        
            }

If your app is created before August 12th, 2024 then change the sample data URL to https://assets.cometchat.io/sampleapp/v1/sampledata.json in the lib/services/api_services.dart file:

cometchat-sample-app-flutter/lib/services/api_services.dart

Lines 13 to 15 in 68a5a32

    
           final response = await http.get( 
        
             Uri.parse('https://assets.cometchat.io/sampleapp/sampledata.json'), 
        
           );

For iOS, install dependencies after navigating to ios :
```
cd ios
pod install
```
If you are facing any issue with pod install, you can try running the following command:
```
pod update
```
Open a Simulator or connect a physical device.
Run the app on a device or emulator from the repo root.
```
flutter run
```
