Lightstreamer - Basic Chat Demo - iOS Client - Swift

The Chat Demo is a very simple chat application based on Lightstreamer.

This project contains an example of an application for iPhone that employs the Lightstreamer Swift Client library, with use of mobile push notifications (MPN).

Details

This app, compatible with iPhone, is a Swift version of the Lightstreamer - Basic Chat Demo - HTML Client.

This app uses the Swift Client API for Lightstreamer to handle the communications with Lightstreamer Server. A simple user interface is implemented to display the real-time messages received from Lightstreamer Server. Additionally, the app is able to forward incoming messages via mobile push notifications to any registered client.

Further details about developing apps on iOS with Lightstreamer and MPNs are discussed in this blog post:
