Upgrading From V3

Migration guide for upgrading from CometChat Android SDK v3 to v4

AI Integration Quick Reference

Migration Steps:

1. Update Maven URL to https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/cometchat/cometchat/maven/
2. Update dependency to com.cometchat:chat-sdk-android:4.2.0 (or latest v4)
3. Change all imports from com.cometchat.pro.* to com.cometchat.chat.*
4. Rebuild and test your application

Key Changes:

• Package name changed from com.cometchat.pro to com.cometchat.chat
• Maven repository URL updated
• API remains largely compatible with v3

Full guide: Follow the setup instructions for detailed v4 setup.

Upgrading from v3.x to v4 is straightforward. The API surface is the same — only the Maven URL, dependency artifact, and import package names changed.

Maven URL Change

Groovy

allprojects {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/cometchat/cometchat/maven/"
    }
  }
}

Dependency Change

Groovy

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.cometchat:chat-sdk-android:4.2.0'
}

Change the Import Class Packages

In v3, the import class package name starts with com.cometchat.pro.*. Change it to com.cometchat.chat.* everywhere in the project and you are done with the v3 to v4 migration.
