v5.2.18

New

• Added Swift Package Manager support to the iOS plugin. Opt in with flutter config --enable-swift-package-manager (requires Flutter 3.44 or later). CocoaPods remains the default and works unchanged.

Enhancements

• Relicensed the package under the MIT License.
• Improved pub.dev package health, with no changes to the public API, dependencies, or minimum Dart and Flutter versions.
• Updated deprecated Flutter APIs
• Migrated the iOS plugin to Swift-only and aligned its declared minimum to iOS 12 (already required by cometchat_sdk). Standard integrations require no action; apps that register plugins manually should replace #import <cometchat_chat_uikit/CometchatChatUikitPlugin.h> with @import cometchat_chat_uikit;.

Fixes

• Fixed debug log messages leaking into the host app's console during message-list scrolling, poll creation, and composer updates.
• Fixed a potential exception when deleting a message from the AI assistant chat history after leaving the screen.
• Fixed a crash (Bad state: Cannot add new events after calling close) that occurred when leaving a chat screen before messages finished loading, such as pressing back on a slow network.
• Fixed a crash in the file message bubble that occurred when leaving a chat during, or shortly after, a file download. In release builds this surfaced as Null check operator used on a null value.
