Integrating with Logging Platforms on iOS

Integrating logging capabilities into an iOS app using Stream's Chat SDK allows developers to direct log outputs to their chosen destinations, such as Sentry or Datadog, enhancing production monitoring without relying on console outputs. While logging is not a pivotal factor for user adoption, it remains essential for app support and performance tracking. Stream provides the necessary components for developers to connect its SDK's logging with third-party platforms, beginning with defining custom LogDestination types. The process of integration with Sentry is straightforward, requiring the creation of a SentryLogDestination class, whereas integrating with Datadog involves addressing naming clashes and constructing a wrapper to handle log levels. Despite these challenges, the guide demonstrates how to effectively set up logging and offers support for developers encountering difficulties.
