Ably Chat SDK for Swift

This is the repository for the Swift version of the Ably Chat SDK. We aim to build the same functionality that’s available in the JavaScript SDK.

Important

This SDK is currently in the early stages of development and is not ready to be used.

Supported Platforms

• macOS 11 and above
• iOS 14 and above
• tvOS 14 and above

Requirements

Xcode 16 or later.

Installation

The SDK is distributed as a Swift package and can hence be installed using Xcode or by adding it as a dependency in your package’s Package.swift. We’ll add detailed instructions when we release the first version of the SDK.

Example app

This repository contains an example app, written using SwiftUI, which demonstrates how to use the SDK. The code for this app is in the Example directory.

In order to allow the app to use modern SwiftUI features, it supports the following OS versions:

• macOS 14 and above
• iOS 17 and above
• tvOS 17 and above

To run the app, open the AblyChat.xcworkspace workspace in Xcode and run the AblyChatExample target. If you wish to run it on an iOS or tvOS device, you’ll need to set up code signing.
