CometChat Android UIKit v6 UIKitSettings configuration — all builder options for SDK init, presence, calling, and host overrides
CometChat Calls v6 integration for native Android (V6 stable, GA 2026-05-25 — Compose + Kotlin Views). Works end-to-end on chatuikit-compose-android:6.0.0 (validated 2026-05-12 against web peer) — but only with FIVE non-obvious workarounds the kit itself doesn't ship — (1) explicit calls-sdk-android:5.0.+ peer dep, (2) annotations-java5 exclude, (3) stub classes for legacy com.cometchat.calls.{CometChatRTCView, model.RTCUser, model.RTCReceiver, model.RTCCallback} to satisfy chat-sdk's CallManager bytecode, (4) AVOID CometChatCallButtons (broken — captures first-rendered user globally; ignores per-row prop) — instead wire your own button to CometChat.initiateCall then CometChatCallActivity.Companion.launchOutgoingCallScreen(context, call, null), (5) Call constructor arg order CHANGED in chat-sdk 5.x — (receiverUid, receiverType, type) not (receiverUid, type, receiverType).

Always loaded before writing any <cometchat-*> HTML. Never invent selectors or bindings — look them up here.
Foundational rules for CometChat Angular UI Kit v5 (@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular@5) — standalone-component setup, UIKitSettingsBuilder init, Promise-based login (bare uid string), loggedInUser$ observable, environment config, CSS-variable theming, and the anti-patterns that break real Angular apps. Read this first.
Customize the CometChat Angular UI Kit v5 (@cometchat/chat-uikit-angular@5) without forking — four-tier model: Angular @Input slot views → request builders → text formatters + message-action options + per-type bubble views → event bus. Standalone components, ng-template slots, no NgModule, no DataSource.

CometChat Calls integration for Flutter UIKit v6 (Bloc-based, stable). Production-ready at v6.0.1 GA (validated 2026-05-27 on Pixel 3) with ONE explicit MaterialApp wiring requirement still active from v6.0.0-beta2 — MaterialApp MUST wire navigatorKey to CallNavigationContext.navigatorKey or the outgoing-call screen never renders. (Vendor's own 6.0.1 sample is missing this line and broken out-of-the-box — file a vendor ticket if you find that sample first.) The earlier outgoing-to-in-call BLoC transition bug from beta2 is FIXED in 6.0.1 GA per the v6.0.0 changelog's 'Refreshed BLoC implementations across ongoing call flows' entry. Customers can now use V6 for calls. Covers UIKitSettings calling block, CometChatUIKitCalls.init() after CometChatUIKit.init() (CALLS_INIT_AFTER_CHAT_INIT), the kit's Bloc-driven CometChatCallButtons / CometChatIncomingCall / CometChatOutgoingCall / CometChatOngoingCall / CometChatCallLogs / CometChatCallBubble widgets, CallingConfiguration, CallOperationsServiceLocator lifecycle, VoIP push via external packages (FCM + PushKit + flutter_callkit_incoming — there is NO bundled native_call_kit module in the kit), and additive-vs-standalone modes.

Also use when the user asks about showing a list of chats or recent conversations.
> Use when writing any code that uses cometchat_chat_uikit. Contains hard rules that prevent silent failures, crashes, and subtle bugs. Covers CometChatUIKit.init, login, logout, UIKitSettings, UIKitSettingsBuilder, listener lifecycle, theme caching, Scaffold resizeToAvoidBottomInset, subscriptionType, region, muid preservation, and the Clean Architecture + BLoC component pattern. Also use when seeing errors like "Authentication null", "APP ID null", ERR_ALREADY_LOGGED_IN, or StateError from uninitialized ServiceLocator. Make sure to use this skill for any CometChat Flutter UIKit code, even simple widget usage.
> request builders, text formatters + message templates, and BubbleFactory/DataSource. Use when the user wants custom bubbles, custom headers, custom list items, custom message actions, or custom message types.

Push notifications for CometChat React UI Kit v6 in Vite / Next.js / React Router / Astro projects. Recommended path is CometChat-native web push via Firebase Cloud Messaging for Web — `CometChatNotifications.registerPushToken(token, PushPlatforms.FCM_WEB)` + a dashboard FCM provider, so CometChat's own backend delivers new-message pushes with NO self-hosted push server. Also documents an optional advanced self-hosted Web Push fallback (Service Worker + Push API + VAPID + message-sent webhook) for projects that can't use Firebase. Covers click-through to chat, foreground vs background handling, iOS Safari 16.4+ PWA-only quirks, and HTTPS requirements.
