MessengerKit is a drop-in UI for messenger interfaces on iOS built in Swift

Hi @steve228uk,

Amazing framework! A small question from someone new to iOS dev. I wanted to use MSGMessageBody with custom content (neither text, emoji, image, nor video) but am unsure as to what should be modified to implement this. For instance, I want to have a message bubble with a clickable UIButton inside it. Do you think you could help point me towards what/where I should modify to add such custom message formats?

Hi there, awesome framework! Quick question :

After run pod install, implement MSGMessengerViewController, then somehow I got this error :

Could not load the "Arrow" image referenced from a nib in the bundle with identifier "org.cocoapods.MessengerKit"

What did I missed ?

MessengerKit v 1.0.0

It did work if I change the MSGMessengerStyle to .travamigos style.

But the arrow is still missing...

Hi @steve228uk,

First of all thanks for this super easy to use library!

I am using it with a NSFetchedResultsController, and I am struggling myself trying to get by free the messages grouped by username after ordered by timestamp, but I am not succeeding.

If I provide the date as sort descriptor, and the user as sectionNameKeyPath, it groups the messages by user, so I get numberOfUsers sections, and ordered by timeStamp inside, but that's not what I want; I want by date, but grouped by user just if the messages are in a sequence, like your example.

I guess you (or someone) has faced this problem before, I hope haha.

Thanks in advance

On the first time, when the MSGMessengerViewController loads, blank text is shown when send some text. And the text which are send once scrolled, the order of the messages gets misplaced.

Hi, first things first thank you for this great library and hours that you saved for me. in my case i needed to add custom inputView for adding additional features like attach and stickers but now i have a problem. in my app users can edit their messages but because of internal protection level of text property of MSGPlaceholderTextView i can't set text so user can edit it. any ideas for accomplishing this?

The link style option for incoming & outgoing messages were not correct. Only the outgoing option was used. I fixed that in this PR.

Additional I added a style option for control the underline setting for links.

Version: 1.0.4 Reproduction rate: always Description: Currently a VC that derives from MSGMessengerViewController.swift is hidden the default behaviour is to remove the VC from the NotificationCenter. However this affects ALL observers in the derived VC, not just those registered by MessengerKit.

Case in point, my app needs to keep a notification with NotificationCenter that happens as soon as the app comes to the foreground (via deep link). Because MSGMessengerViewController unregisters on going to the background this behaviour is broken. Now I need to re-register with NotificationCenter after calling super in viewDidDisappear to keep the correct behaviour in place.

MSGMessengerViewController should only unregister from notifications that it has registered for before instead of unregistering all: NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(self, name: UIKeyboardWillShow, object: nil)

Hello guys, this is such a wonderful library! I was wondering, why is iOS 9 not supported? I've forked the project and easily lowered deployment target to 9.0, after adding some

@available(iOS 9.0, *)

checks, library runs pretty smooth in iOS 9. I can make a pull request if someone wants this too.

Let me know, thanks :)

If I start typing on custom inputview textfield and go back to any previous screen. After that when I reopened MSGMessengerViewController screen for infinite times automatically the input view will jump up always. I want to prevent this and instead of that the custom input view should only jumps up when start typing something on it. I dont find any solution for this. Pls help.

got error from storyboard

let vc = CalmConstants.globalConstants.StoryBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ReadingVC") as! ReadingVC
 self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

where ReadingVC is subclass of MSGMessengerViewController

• Assertion failure in -[UIStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:], /BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/UIKitCore/UIKit-3698.84.15/UIStoryboard.m:171

When I call self.insert in my MSGMessengerViewController I get the error Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xfffffffffffffff8) on the line self.collectionView.performBatchUpdates({ in the MSGMessengerViewController + Helpers.swift file. If there's anymore information I should give, please let me know. :D

Creating an interesting way to take a note by using MessangerKit. I absolutely love the MessangerKit. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nanonote-note-to-self/id1575376162#?platform=iphone

I want to add a caption in the image, same as whatsapp. I am stuck at this stage for the last couple of hours. Any help will be really appreciated.

@steve228uk I really like to thank you, You save a lot of time mine by creating this project.

I am trying to send an image from the camera. so I opened chat vc and entered camera caputure screen using UIImagePickerController. Inputview went up to the top and the UI was messed up. This problem has only happened after the first loading.

How can I avoid this problem?

Hi,

This PR contains the following changes to add SPM support:

• Add the package manifest
• Add an objc name to custom views to load correctly in SPM (See this forum for details)

Close #53

When I override the delegate method func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, contextMenuConfigurationForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath, point: CGPoint) -> UIContextMenuConfiguration? for collectionView, I get error

Method does not override any method from its superclass

How can I call the context menu for collection?

When images were added to the conversations, before downloading, the previous image was shown moments previous to the finished download. Initializing the image in nil before loading the new image fixes the flicker issue.

Is there away to remove the input text view? I tried doing: style.inputView = TrivialInputView.self

And defining a TrivialnputView by modifying what is found here: https://github.com/steve228uk/MessengerKit/blob/05168377536ebeae3653edfa5acc6410895cd72f/MessengerKit/Input/Styles/iMessage/MSGImessageInputView.swift.

But it crashes outright with error: Thread 1: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value for tint color. Even though it is specified.
