Overview

CometChat UIKit enables developers to seamlessly integrate customizable components into their applications. Each component is designed to ensure a consistent user experience while offering flexibility to adapt to your app’s design system. You can modify attributes such as colors, fonts, sizes, icons, and more using XML or programmatically. Below is a detailed guide for styling individual components within the UIKit.
