For each of these license there are also three options:

The UI license only includes the Talk user interface components. This is excellent if you already have a server to produce the messages.

The C omplete license gives you the app with all the code to supply the messages too! As seen in the demo.

Parse shutting down

A number of customers have been worried by the news that Parse is shutting down next year. Firstly, the good news is that the Talk SDK only has a very light dependency on Parse. We use Parse for picture uploads and shove notifications.

The thrust notification provider can be switched by modifying one function in the Talk SDK. There are numerous other possible providers like Thrust Woosh, custom-built shove server etc.

Picture uploads can be treated in numerous ways too. Amazon suggest file storage for $0.03 per GB and pictures can also be uploaded directly to a standard Apache server.

Parse will shut down on the 28th of January. For the next duo of months we’ll be looking around for the best, cheapest and most reliable alternative. Once we’ve determined, we will update the Talk SDK accordingly. We assure that the Talk SDK will be fully independent of Parse by the begin of July.
