ALKMessageStyle.receivedBubble.color = UIColor.lightGray

ALKMessageStyle.message = Style(font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 14), text: UIColor.black)

Navigation Bar's Background Color

Kommunicate.defaultConfiguration.navigationBarBackgroundColor = UIColor.navigationOceanBlue()

Navigation Bar's Tint color

Navigation Bar's Title color

FAQ Button

To hide the FAQ button in Conversation List or Conversation screen, use below setting

Kommunicate.defaultConfiguration.hideFaqButtonInConversationList = true // Hide from Conversation List screen
Kommunicate.defaultConfiguration.hideFaqButtonInConversationView = true // Hide from Conversation screen

Sending additional metadata with messages

If you want to send additional metadata with all the messages sent from a device then use below code:

// Add this in AppDelegate's `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` method
let customData = ["custom-key": "value"]
do {
   let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: customData, options: .prettyPrinted)
   Kommunicate.defaultConfiguration.messageMetadata = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) ?? ""
} catch {
   print(error)
}
