Amity iOS UI Kit Migration Guide
iOS UI Kit Migration Instructions
To allow for more customization, we have now open sourced our UI Kits and will be deprecating the managed UI Kit version that was previously available.
With open-source, developers have more flexibility and greater customization options, allowing you to have complete control over the visual style. Open sourcing allows for more transparency and visibility and enables contributions from a greater developer community in terms of good design, implementation, code improvement, and fixes, translating into a better product and typical development.
To ensure that you continue to receive the latest features and updates, we encourage you to move off the managed UI Kit to the Open Source UI Kit. This guide will show you how to:
Migrate iOS Open Source UI Kit with Existing Project
Remove existing dependencies
If you've never used UI Kit, you may skip this step and proceed to the next step.
If you're integrating the UI Kit with an existing project, you'll need to remove and unlink the packaged UI Kit from your project before proceeding with the integration.
Migrate iOS UI Kit Open Source
There are several ways for you to migrate the open source iOS UI Kit into your projects, depending on your workflow. One way that we recommend is via Git Submodule. This instruction assumes that the app project is already set up with a Git repository.
Add git submodule of Amity UIKit open source into your git repository.
2. Create an Xcode Workspace, and then add both MyApp.xcodeproj and AmityUIKit.xcodeproj together under the same workspace.
3. On MyApp.xcodeproj add AmityUIKit.framework, and its dependencies AmitySDK.xcframework and Realm.xcframework.
4. On MyApp.xcodeproj, let’s try importing AmityUIKit / AmitySDK and call some APIs. You should be able to compile and run the app.
Modify iOS Open Source UI Kit
You can modify the iOS open source UI Kit to customize behaviors to fit your needs. To modify the code, simply copy and paste it into your local machine.
We recommend that you first fork the repository before starting any customization work, so that it will be easier to merge the code with the next version update that we provide from the main repository.

Get Latest iOS Open Source UI Kit Updates
To update to the latest version of the UI Kit, you can pull the latest commit of the git submodule.
