AI Agent Integration

The AI Agent modules provide conversational AI capabilities for iOS applications.

SendbirdAIAgentMessenger

The primary integration point for Sendbird AI Agent functionality.

• Type: Swift source code
• Features: AI conversation, Markdown rendering, syntax highlighting, image loading
• Dependencies: Automatically includes all required modules

SendbirdAIAgentCore

Core AI Agent library with XCFramework distribution.

• Type: Commercial XCFramework (optimized binary)
• Source: Downloaded dynamically from sendbird-ai-agent-core-ios releases
• Distribution: Dynamic download via prepare_command - no local storage needed

Usage

For detailed usage instructions, examples, and API documentation, please refer to the Sendbird AI Agent iOS documentation.

Installation

Step 1: Configure your Podfile

Add the private spec repository and configure post-install settings:

source 'https://github.com/sendbird/sendbird-ios-distribution.git'
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org/'

platform :ios, '15.0'

target 'YourApp' do
  use_frameworks!
  
  pod 'SendbirdAIAgentMessenger', '~> 0.10.4'
end

# Required for XCFramework download scripts
post_install do |installer|
  project = installer.aggregate_targets[0].user_project
  project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['ENABLE_USER_SCRIPT_SANDBOXING'] = 'NO'
      end
  end
  project.save
end

Note: The post_install hook disables user script sandboxing, which is required for the XCFramework download scripts used by SendbirdAIAgentCore to function properly.

Troubleshooting

Framework Search Path Issues

If you encounter build errors related to framework search paths or rsync errors, check your project's FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS setting:

1. Open your project in Xcode
2. Select your target → Build Settings → Search Paths → Framework Search Paths
3. Ensure the value is not empty ("")
4. If empty, set it to $(inherited) or remove the custom setting to use default values

Common symptoms:

• Build errors mentioning missing frameworks
• rsync command failures during build
• "Framework not found" linker errors

This issue can occur when FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS is explicitly set to empty in your project settings, preventing CocoaPods from properly locating framework dependencies.

Step 2: Install

pod install
