FAQ

When should I use the Swift API Client?

If your project is in Swift or partially in Swift, you should use the Swift API Client. We don't support Swift in our Objective-C API Client.

Can I still use the Objective-C API Client?

Yes. If you are using the Objective-C API Client and do not want to upgrade then you can stick to it. We will continue to update and support it.
