Steps to integrate Sceyt Chat UIKit into an iOS project using CocoaPods, including Podfile configuration and installation command.

```bash
pod init
```

```ruby
platform :ios, '13.0'  # Specify your minimum iOS version if different

target 'YourApp' do
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'SceytChatUIKit', :git => 'https://github.com/sceyt/sceyt-chat-ios-uikit.git'
end
```

```bash
pod install
```

Code example showing how to establish a connection to the Sceyt Chat API using an access token after initializing the UIKit.

```swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        
        ...
        // The user's access token for the Sceyt Chat API.
        let accessToken = "USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"

        SceytChatUIKit.shared.connect(token: accessToken)

        return true
    }
```

### Initialize Sceyt Chat UIKit

Source: https://github.com/sceyt/sceyt-chat-ios-uikit/blob/main/README.md

Code snippet demonstrating how to initialize the Sceyt Chat UIKit in an iOS application's AppDelegate with the API URL and Application ID.

```swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        // The URL of the Sceyt Chat application where UIKit app connects.
        let apiUrl = "API_URL"
        // The ID of the Sceyt Chat application used by the UIKit app.
        let appId = "APP_ID"

        SceytChatUIKit.initialize(apiUrl: apiUrl, appId: appId)
        
        return true
    }
```

### Basic Appearance Customization

Source: https://github.com/sceyt/sceyt-chat-ios-uikit/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates how to customize fonts, colors, and icons of the Sceyt Chat UIKit during initialization. This includes setting custom fonts, changing accent colors, and replacing default icons.

```swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

        ... 

        SceytChatUIKit.initialize(apiUrl: apiUrl, appId: appId)

        ... 

        // To change the fonts used in the UIKit, you can use the `Appearance.Fonts` property.
        // For example, to set a custom font:
        Appearance.Fonts.regular = UIFont(name: "CUSTOM_FONT", size: 10)

        // Customizing colors is straightforward with the Appearance.Colors property.
        // FOr instance to change only the accent color:
        SceytChatUIKit.shared.theme.colors = .init(accent: .blue)

        // You can also replace icons or images by using the Appearance.Images property.
        // For example, to change the chat action camera icon:
        Appearance.Images.chatActionCamera = UIImage(named: "camera")

        return true
    }
```

### Customizing Channel Cell Components

Source: https://github.com/sceyt/sceyt-chat-ios-uikit/blob/main/README.md

Shows how to replace default UIKit components with custom subclasses, specifically demonstrating how to customize a `ChannelCell`. This includes overriding `setupAppearance` for visual changes and `deliveryStatusImage` for custom message status icons.

```swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    ... 
    SceytChatUIKit.Components.channelCell = DemoChannelCell.self
    ...
    return true
}
```

```swift
class DemoChannelCell: ChannelCell {

    override func setupAppearance() {

        super.setupAppearance()

        dateLabel.textColor = .green
        subjectLabel.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14)

    }

    override func deliveryStatusImage(message: ChatMessage?) -> UIImage? {

        guard let message = message, !message.incoming else { return nil }

        switch message.deliveryStatus {
        case .pending:
            return UIImage(named: "pendingMessage")
        case .sent:
            return UIImage(named: "sentMessage")
        case .received:
            return UIImage(named: "deliveredMessage")
        case .displayed:
            return UIImage(named: "readMessage")
        case .failed:
            return UIImage(named: "failedMessage")
        }
    }
}
```
