iOS setup

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install —-save capacitor-intercom
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• npx cap add ios
• add intercom keys to capacitor's configuration file

{
 …
  "plugins": {
   "IntercomPlugin": {
      "ios-apiKey": "ios_sdk-xxx",
      "ios-appId": "yyy"
    }
  }
…
}

• npx cap open ios
• sign your app at xcode (general tab)

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Product > Clean build folder) and then run the app again.

Android setup

• ionic start my-cap-app --capacitor
• cd my-cap-app
• npm install —-save capacitor-intercom
• mkdir www && touch www/index.html
• npx cap add android
• add intercom keys to capacitor's configuration file

{
 …
  "plugins": {
   "IntercomPlugin": {
      "android-apiKey": "android_sdk-xxx",
      "android-appId": "yyy"
    }
  }
…
}

• npx cap open android
• [extra step] in android case we need to tell Capacitor to initialise the plugin:

on your MainActivity.java file add import io.stewan.capacitor.intercom.IntercomPlugin; and then inside the init callback add(IntercomPlugin.class);

Now you should be set to go. Try to run your client using ionic cap run android --livereload.

Tip: every time you change a native code you may need to clean up the cache (Build > Clean Project | Build > Rebuild Project) and then run the app again.
