Flutter SDK Overhaul: New Chat UI Components & Sample Apps Out Now
Blog post from Stream
Stream has released a completely overhauled Flutter SDK for Stream Chat, designed to simplify the integration and customization of chat components for developers and end users. The new version 1.5.0 includes reusable UI components for building a mobile messaging app with features like rich messages, reactions, threads, image uploads, and videos. The SDK has been refactored into four discrete packages: LLC, Chat Core, Offline Persistence, and UI, allowing developers to use only what they need. This update follows Stream's recent $38 million Series B funding round, reinforcing their commitment to providing comprehensive toolkits for chat developers. The release also includes new sample apps and a tutorial to assist in customizing the SDK to align with specific brand and user experience requirements.
