Kakao Talk Channel

iOS

This document describes how to integrate Kakao Talk Channel APIs into your service with the Kakao SDK for iOS ("iOS SDK").

Before you begin

Add modules

To use the features of Kakao Talk Channel, add the KakaoSDKTalk or RxKakaoSDKTalk (Kakao Talk module) in the Podfile by referring to Install SDK.

To use the Checking Kakao Talk Channel relationship API that requires Kakao Login, you must also add the Kakao Login module, KakaoSDKUser.

After that, add the import statements as follows.

Swift
RxSwift
import KakaoSDKTalk 

//If you use the Checking Kakao Talk Channel relationship API, import this module as well.
import KakaoSDKUser
import KakaoSDKTalk
import RxKakaoSDKTalk

//If you use the Checking Kakao Talk Channel relationship API, import this module as well.
import RxKakaoSDKUser
import KakaoSDKUser

Select Method to add Kakao Talk Channel

Follow Kakao Talk Channel and Add Kakao Talk Channel are available. Refer to Add Kakao Talk Channel and decide what to use. Follow Kakao Talk Channel is recommended because of the easy implementation.

Follow Kakao Talk Channel

Basic information
Permission Prerequisite Kakao Login User consent Reference
- Register platforms
Activate Kakao Login
Manage consent items
Set Kakao Talk Channel
- - Common
FollowChannelResult
iOS SDK
followChannel()
ReactiveX iOS SDK
followChannel()
Note: Kakao Login

Follow Kakao Talk Channel is available without Kakao Login. However, to avoid an inconvenient login process, we recommend using Follow Kakao Talk Channel in a service with Kakao Login.


Requests adding Kakao Talk Channel to the user. Displays a screen for adding Kakao Talk Channel and returns the result in the response.

Request followChannel() in TalkApi. Kakao Talk Channel profile ID is required. Refer to Services using Kakao Login and Services not using Kakao Login for the request process.

Swift
RxSwift
// Follow Kakao Talk Channel
TalkApi.shared.followChannel(channelPublicId: "${CHANNEL_PUBLIC_ID}") { result, error in
  if let error = error {
    print(error)
    // Fail
  }
  else {
    print(result)
    // Success
    ...
  }
}
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()

// Follow Kakao Talk Channel
UserApi.shared.rx.followChannel(channelPublicId:"${CHANNEL_ID}")
    .subscribe(onSuccess: { (result) in
        print("followChannel(channelPublicId:) success.")
        // Success
        ...
    }, onFailure: { error in
        print(error)
        // Fail
    })
    .disposed(by: disposeBag)

If the request is successful, FollowChannelResult in the response includes the Kakao Talk Channel profile ID and the result. If the request fails, refer to Trouble shooting to figure out the reason.

Add Kakao Talk Channel

Basic information
Permission Prerequisite Kakao Login User consent Reference
- Register platforms - - iOS SDK
addChannel()
makeUrlForAddChannel()ReactiveX iOS SDK
addChannel()
Caution

To use this feature, set URL Schemes and add kakaoplus to Allowlist.


Launches Kakao Talk to let the user add the Kakao Talk Channel. Call addChannel() in TalkApi. Pass the profile ID of the Kakao Talk Channel.

Parameter

Name Type Description Required
channelPublicId String Kakao Talk Channel ID. O
Swift
RxSwift
TalkApi.shared.addChannel(channelPublicId: "${CHANNEL_ID}") {
  if let error = error {
    print(error)
  } else {
     print("addChannel() success.")
    // do something
    ...
  }
}
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()

TalkApi.shared.rx.addChannel(channelPublicId: "${CHANNEL_ID}")
  .subscribe(onCompleted:{
    print("addChannel() success")
    //do something
    ...
  }, onError: {error in
    print(error)
  })
  .disposed(by: disposeBag)

This API does not inform whether the user adds the Kakao Talk Channel. To check the added status, use the Checking Kakao Talk Channel relationship API that shows the relationship between a user and a Kakao Talk Channel.

Bridge page

ReactiveX iOS SDK does not support this feature.

To send the user to a bridge page before launching Kakao Talk, use makeUrlForAddChannel(). Pass the profile ID of the Kakao Talk Channel. To open the url, use the present() method in safariViewController.

//in ViewController
var safariViewController : SFSafariViewController? // to keep instance
...

self.safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(url: TalkApi.shared.makeUrlForAddChannel(channelPublicId:"{channel-id}")!)

guard (self.safariViewController != nil) else { return }

self.safariViewController?.modalTransitionStyle = .crossDissolve
self.safariViewController?.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
self.present(self.safariViewController!, animated: true) {
    print("Succeeded in opening a bridge page to add Kakao Talk Channel.")
}

Start Kakao Talk Channel chat

Starts a chat with Kakao Talk Channel. Call chatChannel() in TalkApi. Pass the profile ID of the Kakao Talk Channel.

Parameter

Name Type Description Required
channelPublicId String Kakao Talk Channel ID. O
Swift
RxSwift
TalkApi.shared.chatChannel(channelPublicId: "${CHANNEL_ID}") {
  if let error = error {
    print(error)

     print("chatChannel() success.")
    // do something
    ...
  }
}
let disposeBag = DisposeBag() 

TalkApi.shared.rx.chatChannel(channelPublicId: "${CHANNEL_ID}")
  .subscribe(onCompleted:{
    print("chatChannel() success")
    //do something
    ...
  }, onError: {error in
    print(error)
  })
  .disposed(by: disposeBag)

Bridge page

ReactiveX iOS SDK does not support this feature.

To send the user to a bridge page before launching Kakao Talk, use makeUrlForChatChannel(). Pass the profile ID of the Kakao Talk Channel. To open the URL, use the present() method in safariViewController.

//in ViewController
var safariViewController : SFSafariViewController? // to keep instance
...

self.safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(url: TalkApi.shared.makeUrlForChatChannel(channelPublicId:"{channel-id}")!)

guard (self.safariViewController != nil) else { return }

self.safariViewController?.modalTransitionStyle = .crossDissolve
self.safariViewController?.modalPresentationStyle = .overCurrentContext
self.present(self.safariViewController!, animated: true) {
    print("Succeeded in opening a bridge page to add Kakao Talk Channel.")
}

Check Kakao Talk Channel relationship

Basic information
Permission Prerequisite Kakao Login User consent Reference
- Register platforms
Activate Kakao Login
Manage consent items
Set Kakao Talk Channel
Required Required:
Kakao Talk Channel addition status and details
Common
Channel
iOS SDK
channels()
ReactiveX iOS SDK
channels()

To check if a specific user has added or blocked your Kakao Talk Channel connected to your service app, call the channels() method defined in the TalkApi class.

Make sure that this API only informs the relationship between the user and the Kakao Talk Channel connected to the app that made a request. Thus, you cannot get all Kakao Talk Channels' information that the user has added but the channels related to your service only.

Sample

Swift
RxSwift
TalkApi.shared.channels { (channels, error) in
    if let error = error {
        print(error)
    }
    else {
        print("channels() success.")        
        // Do something
        _ = channels
    }
}
// Class member property
let disposeBag = DisposeBag()

TalkApi.shared.rx.channels()
    .retry(when: Auth.shared.rx.incrementalAuthorizationRequired())
    .subscribe (onSuccess:{ (channels) in
        print("channels() success.")        
        // Do something
        _ = channels
    }, onFailure: {error in
        print(error)
    })
    .disposed(by: disposeBag)

If the request is successful, channels() returns the Channels object.
