Next to the Native SDK

The web view SDK and the native Kindly SDK can be in the same app, for example while you move from one to the other. They are separate modules with separate state, storage, logs and telemetry, and each shows its own chat with its own conversation. A conversation started in one does not continue in the other

Packages and names

iOS

Android

Flutter

React Native

The web view SDK is the module KindlyWebView from https://github.com/kindly-ai/sdk-chat-webview, the native SDK the module Kindly from https://github.com/kindly-ai/sdk-chat-ios. Some type names exist in both, such as KindlyEvent and KindlyAuthCredentials, so in a file that imports both modules, qualify them with the module name:

import Kindly
import KindlyWebView

func handle(_ event: KindlyWebView.KindlyEvent) {
    // an event from the web view SDK
}

The web view SDK is ai.kindly:sdk-webview in the package ai.kindly.webview, the native SDK ai.kindly:sdk in no.kindly.chatsdk. Some type names exist in both, such as KindlyEvent and KindlyAuthCredentials, so in a file that uses both, import one of them under another name:

import ai.kindly.webview.models.KindlyEvent as KindlyWebViewEvent
import no.kindly.chatsdk.chat.models.KindlyEvent

The two use separate resources, preferences, file provider authorities and Logcat tags. Both depend on Sentry 8, and Gradle resolves one version for both

Bot setup

Both SDKs send your app's iOS bundle id or Android package name to the Kindly chat backend, so a bot that lists your app for the native SDK accepts the web view SDK as it is, see Configuration
