Flutter wrapper for Intercom Android and iOS projects.

Usage

Import package:intercom_flutter/intercom_flutter.dart and use the methods in Intercom class.

Example:

import 'package:intercom_flutter/intercom_flutter.dart';

void main() async {
    await Intercom.initialize('appIdHere', iosApiKey: 'iosKeyHere', androidApiKey: 'androidKeyHere');
    runApp(App());
}

class App extends StatelessWidget {

    @override 
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return FlatButton(
            child: Text('Open Intercom'),
            onPressed: () async {
                await Intercom.displayMessenger();
            },
        );
    }
}

Push notifications in combination with FCM

This plugin works in combination with the firebase_messaging plugin to receive Push Notifications. To set this up:

• First, implement firebase_messaging and check if it works: https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging#android-integration
• Then, add the Firebase server key to Intercom, as described here: https://developers.intercom.com/installing-intercom/docs/android-fcm-push-notifications#section-step-3-add-your-server-key-to-intercom-for-android-settings (you can skip 1 and 2)
• Add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml file, so incoming messages are handled by Intercom:

    <service
        android:name="io.maido.intercom.PushInterceptService"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true">
        <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </service>

just above the closing </application> tag.

• Ask FireBaseMessaging for the FCM token that we need to send to Intercom, and give it to Intercom (so Intercam can send push messages to the correct device):

final FirebaseMessaging _firebaseMessaging = FirebaseMessaging();
token = await _firebaseMessaging.getToken();

Intercom.sendTokenToIntercom(token);

Now, if either FireBase direct (e.g. by your own backend server) or Intercom sends you a message, it will be delivered your Android phone.

iOS

Make sure that you have a NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription entry in your Info.plist.
