Purpose

This is the foundational skill for every CometChat React Native UI Kit v5 integration. It teaches Claude HOW CometChat works on RN — initialization order, provider wrapper chain, login, env vars, auth tokens, and the anti-patterns that break real apps.

Read this skill first, before any framework (cometchat-native-expo-patterns / cometchat-native-bare-patterns) or placement skill.

Ground-truth sources: docs/ui-kit/react-native/overview.mdx, react-native-cli-integration.mdx, expo-integration.mdx, methods.mdx, and @cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native@5.3.3's src/index.ts.

CometChat has exactly one valid lifecycle on React Native:

CometChatUIKit.init(settings)   →   CometChatUIKit.login({ uid })   →   render <CometChat*> components

Breaking this order produces a blank screen, a "CometChat is not initialized" runtime error, or a hung login. No exceptions.

UIKitSettings — the init object

import {
  CometChatUIKit,
  UIKitSettingsBuilder,
} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

const settings = new UIKitSettingsBuilder()
  .setAppId(APP_ID)         // Required — from the CometChat dashboard
  .setRegion(REGION)         // Required — "us" | "eu" | "in"
  .setAuthKey(AUTH_KEY)      // Required for dev mode. Omit in production.
  .subscribePresenceForAllUsers()  // Optional but recommended — online indicators
  .build();

await CometChatUIKit.init(settings);

Init must happen once

Use a module-level flag to prevent double-init. React re-mounts in dev (strict mode, fast refresh, and navigation nesting all trigger effect re-fires):

let initialized = false;

async function initCometChat(): Promise<void> {
  if (initialized) return;
  initialized = true;

  const settings = new UIKitSettingsBuilder()
    .setAppId(APP_ID)
    .setRegion(REGION)
    .setAuthKey(AUTH_KEY)
    .subscribePresenceForAllUsers()
    .build();

  await CometChatUIKit.init(settings);
}

Init must run before first render

Put the init call in a top-level useEffect (preferred — the provider pattern in section 6 does this) or in App.tsx before the initial navigator mounts. Avoid calling init() in a screen's effect — by the time the screen mounts, the app has already tried to render components that expect init to be done.

Development mode

const user = await CometChatUIKit.getLoggedinUser();
if (!user) {
  await CometChatUIKit.login({ uid: "cometchat-uid-1" });  // note: OBJECT form
}

⚠️ login() takes an object { uid: "..." } on React Native, not a bare string like on the web. Passing "cometchat-uid-1" directly silently fails.

Every new CometChat app ships 5 pre-seeded test users — cometchat-uid-1 through cometchat-uid-5. Use one for development.

⚠️ `login()` is safe sequentially, NOT concurrently

A second login() call fired while the first is in-flight throws "Please wait until the previous login request ends." Classic trap in React Native because:

React strict mode double-mounts effects
react-navigation remounts screens on tab switches
Fast Refresh triggers effect re-runs in dev

Guard with a module-level in-flight promise, same pattern as the web skill:

let loginInFlight: Promise<unknown> | null = null;

async function ensureLoggedIn(uid: string, authToken?: string): Promise<void> {
  const existing = await CometChatUIKit.getLoggedinUser();
  if (existing) return;
  if (loginInFlight) {
    await loginInFlight;   // reuse the pending promise
    return;
  }
  loginInFlight = authToken
    ? CometChatUIKit.login({ authToken })
    : CometChatUIKit.login({ uid });
  try {
    await loginInFlight;
  } finally {
    loginInFlight = null;
  }
}

Call ensureLoggedIn() from the provider / effect. Both mounts resolve against the same promise; only one login request hits the server.

Production mode

Use CometChatUIKit.login({ authToken }) with a token from your backend. The backend generates the token with the CometChat REST API using the server-only REST API Key (not the client-side Auth Key). See cometchat-native-production for the server-side token endpoint patterns.

Logout

await CometChatUIKit.logout();

Clears the local CometChat session. Call from your app's sign-out handler.

3. Provider wrapper chain (mandatory order)

Every CometChat RN app has this wrapper chain at the root. Missing wrappers cause silent layout breakage, broken gestures, or hard crashes — each wrapper is required by a specific RN ecosystem piece the UI Kit depends on.

// App.tsx (bare) or the root of your Expo app
import "react-native-gesture-handler";   // MUST be the first import
import { GestureHandlerRootView } from "react-native-gesture-handler";
import { SafeAreaProvider } from "react-native-safe-area-context";
import { CometChatThemeProvider } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <GestureHandlerRootView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
      <SafeAreaProvider>
        <CometChatThemeProvider>
          <CometChatProvider>    {/* your own init/login provider — see section 6 */}
            <AppNavigator />
          </CometChatProvider>
        </CometChatThemeProvider>
      </SafeAreaProvider>
    </GestureHandlerRootView>
  );
}

Why each wrapper is mandatory:

Wrapper	Required because
`import "react-native-gesture-handler"` (at the very top of entry)	RNGH patches the global gesture system; must happen before any screen renders.
`<GestureHandlerRootView style={{ flex: 1 }}>`	Message composer swipe actions, attachment sheet drags, modal swipe-to-dismiss all use RNGH. No wrapper → gestures silently disabled.
`<SafeAreaProvider>`	UI Kit headers + bottom-sheets respect safe-area insets. Missing → content overlaps status bar / home indicator.
`<CometChatThemeProvider>`	Provides the JS theme context. UI Kit components read colors / fonts / styles from here. Missing → components throw or render with fallback styles that may look broken.
Your own `<CometChatProvider>`	Wraps the `init` + `login` lifecycle in React state so child components can gate on `isReady`. Not optional — you can't render UI Kit components before init + login complete.

The cometchat-native-expo-patterns and cometchat-native-bare-patterns skills show framework-specific nuances (Expo adds expo-splash-screen, bare adds pod setup), but the four-wrapper chain is fixed.

Localizing to a non-English audience? Add <CometChatI18nProvider> as a fifth wrapper, above <CometChatThemeProvider>. See cometchat-native-theming § 9 for the full five-wrapper chain (gesture → safe-area → i18n → theme → provider) and localization config.

4. Environment variables

Values to set

Variable	Purpose	Client-exposed?
`APP_ID`	Dashboard App ID	Yes
`REGION`	`us` \| `eu` \| `in`	Yes
`AUTH_KEY`	Dev-mode login key — never in production	Yes (dev only)
`REST_API_KEY`	Server-side token generation — server-only	NO — server env only

Where they live

Bare RN: .env at project root + a runtime reader like react-native-config or babel-plugin-dotenv-import. Access: Config.APP_ID.
Expo managed: app.json extra section + read via Constants.expoConfig?.extra?.APP_ID from expo-constants. Or use .env with expo-dotenv / expo-router's built-in support depending on SDK version. The cometchat-native-expo-patterns skill covers this in detail.

Do NOT bundle the REST_API_KEY into the client — RN bundles everything visible. Server endpoints live outside the RN app (Express / Hono / Cloud Functions); see cometchat-native-production.

.env / extra example

# client-side (safe to ship in the RN bundle for dev mode)
APP_ID=your_app_id
REGION=us
AUTH_KEY=your_auth_key

# server-only (NEVER ship — used by your token endpoint)
# REST_API_KEY=your_rest_api_key

5. Android + iOS platform notes

The UI Kit is cross-platform, but a few concerns only apply to one target:

Platform	Concern	Fix
iOS (bare)	Missing `pod install` after `npm install`	`cd ios && pod install` after adding or updating any CometChat dep
iOS	Apple privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) required since Xcode 15+	See `docs/apple-privacy-manifest-guide.mdx`; copied into `cometchat-native-bare-patterns`
iOS	Microphone / camera / photo-library permissions in `Info.plist` for calls + media messages	`NSCameraUsageDescription`, `NSMicrophoneUsageDescription`, `NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription` strings
Android	Internet + read-media permissions in `AndroidManifest.xml`	`INTERNET`, `READ_MEDIA_IMAGES`, `READ_MEDIA_VIDEO`, `RECORD_AUDIO` (only what you need)
Both	Push notifications require the APNs + FCM dance — not automatic	Covered by `SampleAppWithPushNotifications` + `cometchat-native-troubleshooting`

The framework skills (cometchat-native-expo-patterns, cometchat-native-bare-patterns) apply these platform settings with the right syntax for each workflow.

6. Provider pattern

Instead of inlining init + login in every component, create a reusable CometChatProvider that gates rendering on isReady. Drop it below <CometChatThemeProvider> in the wrapper chain.

// CometChatProvider.tsx
import React, { createContext, useContext, useEffect, useState, type ReactNode } from "react";
import {
  CometChatUIKit,
  UIKitSettingsBuilder,
} from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

interface CometChatContextValue {
  isReady: boolean;
  error: string | null;
}

const CometChatContext = createContext<CometChatContextValue>({
  isReady: false,
  error: null,
});

export const useCometChat = () => useContext(CometChatContext);

// Module-level state — shared across all mounts
let initialized = false;
let loginInFlight: Promise<unknown> | null = null;

async function ensureLoggedIn(uid: string, authToken?: string): Promise<void> {
  const existing = await CometChatUIKit.getLoggedinUser();
  if (existing) return;
  if (loginInFlight) {
    await loginInFlight;
    return;
  }
  loginInFlight = authToken
    ? CometChatUIKit.login({ authToken })
    : CometChatUIKit.login({ uid });
  try {
    await loginInFlight;
  } finally {
    loginInFlight = null;
  }
}

interface CometChatProviderProps {
  appId: string;
  region: string;
  authKey?: string;
  authToken?: string;
  uid?: string;
  children: ReactNode;
}

export function CometChatProvider({
  appId,
  region,
  authKey,
  authToken,
  uid = "cometchat-uid-1",
  children,
}: CometChatProviderProps) {
  const [isReady, setIsReady] = useState(false);
  const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    async function setup() {
      try {
        if (!initialized) {
          initialized = true;
          const builder = new UIKitSettingsBuilder()
            .setAppId(appId)
            .setRegion(region)
            .subscribePresenceForAllUsers();
          if (authKey) builder.setAuthKey(authKey);
          await CometChatUIKit.init(builder.build());
        }
        await ensureLoggedIn(uid, authToken);
        setIsReady(true);
      } catch (e) {
        setError(String(e));
      }
    }
    setup();
  }, [appId, region, authKey, authToken, uid]);

  if (error) {
    return null;  // or
