Understand how to create SDKs in iOS

[sojharo]

We have to understand and read on how to create SDKs in iOS. We have already looked into Zopim and Hotlink.io which helped us understand what should SDK require from developer.

Had already looked into creating a sample hello world sdk and embedded it successfully to another sample app. However, it did not have any UI. it simply printed a message on console.

When exploring Hotlink, i found that our sdk will have to expose some public methods which will be called by sample app.
Example:
-method to show views(e.g. chat screen)
-method to allow to update any data that is displayed by sdk

As a next step, need to look into creating sdk which has atleast one screen with UI elements. Also need to look into how sdk will expose methods which will be used by other app to

1. display UI/views which are part of SDK.
2. update data to be displayed

I am not understanding what we are trying to do:

1. Want to call an SDK that hasUI and pass the parameters and see if it works

or

2. Create an SDK which has UI and then call that SDK to see if it works

In the bundled SDK, I was able to put the swift code but I could not bundle
screens (UI) into the SDK so that chat UI comes from SDK and developer
doesn't have to make the chat UI himself.
Today I will try to look into how to bundle screens(UI) into the SDK.
