+Pre-built iOS chat UI components and Core SDK from Tencent Chat SDK — get started in minutes.
-## Step 1. Create an App
-1. Log in to the [IM console](https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/login).
-> If you already have an app, record its SDKAppID and [configure the app](#step2).
-2. Click **Create Application**, enter your app name, and click **Confirm**.
-
-3. After creation, you can see the status, service version, SDKAppID, creation time, tag, and expiry time of the new app on the overview page of the console. Record the SDKAppID.

-## Step 2: Obtain Key Information
+## About
-1. Click the **target app card** to go to the **basic configuration** page of the app.
-
-2. In the Basic Information area, click Display key, and then copy and save the key information.
-> Please store the key information properly to prevent leakage.
+Tencent Chat SDK powers billions of messages daily across Tencent's ecosystem. Drop in our pre-built **UIKit** to ship a full-featured chat experience in under 10 minutes, or use the **Core SDK** to build your own UI on top of a battle-tested messaging infrastructure.

-## Step 3: Download and Configure the Demo Source Code
+## Get Started
-1. Clone the IM demo project from [GitHub](https://github.com/tencentyun/TIMSDK).
-2. Open the project in the terminal directory and find the `GenerateTestUserSig` file.

->! In this document, the method to obtain UserSig is to configure a SECRETKEY in the client code. In this method, the SECRETKEY is vulnerable to decompilation and reverse engineering. Once your SECRETKEY is leaked, attackers can steal your Tencent Cloud traffic. Therefore, **this method is only suitable for locally running a demo project and feature debugging**.
->The correct `UserSig` distribution method is to integrate the calculation code of `UserSig` into your server and provide an application-oriented API. When `UserSig` is needed, your app can send a request to the business server for a dynamic `UserSig`. For more information, please see [How do I calculate UserSig on the server?](https://cloud.tencent.com/document/product/269/32688#GeneratingdynamicUserSig).

-## Step 4: Compile and Run the Demo (All Features)
-1. Run the following command on the terminal to check the pod version:
-```objectivec
-pod --version
-```
-If the system indicates that no pod exists or that the pod version is earlier than 1.7.5, run the following commands to install the latest pod.
-```
-// Change sources.
-gem sources --remove https://rubygems.org/
-gem sources --add https://gems.ruby-china.com/
-// Install pods.
-sudo gem install cocoapods -n /usr/local/bin
-// If multiple versions of Xcode are installed, run the following command to choose an Xcode version (usually the latest one):
-sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
-// Update the local pod library.
-pod setup
-```
-2. Run the following commands on the terminal to load the IMSDK library.
-```
-cd iOS/Demo
-pod install
-```
-3. If installation fails, run the following command to update the local CocoaPods repository list:
-```
-pod repo update
-
-cd iOS/Demo
-pod install （if there is an error, execute pod update）
-```
-4. Go to the iOS/Demo folder and open `TUIKitDemo.xcworkspace` to compile and run the demo.
-
-## Step 5: Compile and Run the Demo (Removing the Audio/Video Call Feature)
-If you do not need the audio/video call feature, remote it as follows:
-1. Go to the `iOS/Demo` folder, comment out the TUICallKit pod in the Podfile, and run the `pod install` command.
-```
-# pod 'TUICallKit' (Stop integrating the library)
-```
-
-2. Go to the **Building Settings** page of the **TUIKitDemo** and set `ENABLECALL` to `0` to disable audio/video call related logic.
-
-
-
-After the preceding steps are completed, the audio and video call entries in the demo are hidden.
-
-The conversation UIs before and after TUICallKit masking are as follows:
-
-
-
-The contact profile UIs before and after TUICallKit masking are as follows:
-
-
-
-> The above only shows how to remove the audio/video call feature from the demo. Developers can customize the demo according to their business requirements.
-
-
-## Step 6: Compile and Run the Demo (Removing the Search Feature)
-Go to the `iOS/Demo` folder, comment out the TUISearch pod in the Podfile, and run the `pod install` command.
-```
-# pod 'TUISearch' (Stop integrating the library)
-```
-
-After the preceding steps are completed, the message search box in the demo is hidden.
-
-The message UIs before and after TUISearch masking are as follows:
-
-
-
-> The above only shows how to remove the search feature from the demo. Developers can customize the demo according to their business requirements.
