Blog post from Stream
Integrating interactive polling into SwiftUI apps enhances user engagement in virtual events, remote education, and other interactive environments by allowing real-time feedback and participation. The tutorial outlines how to implement this feature using the SwiftUI SDK version 4.57.0, which includes polling capabilities as a built-in feature. Developers begin by installing the Chat SDK from GitHub and configuring it to enable the polls feature through the Stream Dashboard. The tutorial provides detailed steps to set up a SwiftUI project in Xcode, including privacy settings and channel list displays. It also covers creating and voting on polls, customizing their functionality and appearance, and removing default options like comments. The guide emphasizes the flexibility of the SwiftUI Chat SDK in tailoring poll experiences, offering developers the opportunity to create unique interfaces and functionalities through customization of the SDK's ViewFactory protocol. With the completed setup, developers can create a chat messaging app capable of gathering real-time insights and feedback from users through interactive polls.
