title: iOS messenger SDK
body: <p>I'm looking to implement an in-app messenger in my current iPhone/android applications. The requirements are that it must be free, real-time, and provide push notifications. I've looked into creating the system myself, but have noticed quite a few apps implement very similar concepts so i figure there must be a drop in SDK/wrapper available. </p>
  
  <p>Here's an example of an app using the of the type of messenger to be implemented:</p>

  <p>The closest example of an SDK im looking for is something recently released by kik messenger, but they require you to have their app installed (which is a restriction):

  <p>Any other SDKs out there?</p>
