SyncManager

SyncManager SDK is a support add-on for Sendbird SDK. Major benefits of SyncManager are,

• Local cache integrated: store channel/message data in local storage for fast view loading.
• Event-driven data handling: subscribe channel/message event like insert, update, remove at a single spot in order to apply data event to view.

Check out iOS Sample with SyncManager which is same as iOS Sample with SyncManager integrated.
