Cometchat Android V6 Migration

cometchat/cometchat-android-v6-migration

V5→V6 migration recipes for native Android. CometChat ships V5 (chat-uikit-android:5.x — Java + Kotlin Views) and V6 (chatuikit-{compose,kotlin}-android:6.x — GA 2026-05-25 — Compose surface OR Kotlin Views, calls bundled) side-by-side. Covers when to migrate vs stay, the cohort-selection decision (Compose vs Kotlin Views on V6), gradle dependency rewrites, builder API changes (UIKitSettings replaces UIKitSettingsBuilder), theme system rewrite (CometChatTheme.DayNight), calls integration delta (calling UI bundled, but calls-sdk-android:5.0.+ is still a required peer dep), Activity theme rules, side-by-side cohort selection during migration, and a verification checklist.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take cometchat/cometchat-android-v6-migration from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
