##Integration with existing project

@interface ViewController ()
{
    SYOpenTokClient *client;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.chatArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    client = [[SYOpenTokClient alloc] initWithKey:KAPI_KEY
                                        sessionId:KSESSION_ID
                                            token:KSESSION_TOKEN 
                                         delegate:self];

}

• To send a message

[client sendMessage:message withSignalType:@"chat" toConnection:nil];

params: 

message: The data to send

signalType: The type of the signal 

connection: A destination OTConnection object. (Use this to send a message to specific user).

• Implement the delegate method

- (void)chatSession:(OTSession*)session
 receivedSignalType:(NSString*)type
     fromConnection:(OTConnection*)connection
         withString:(NSString*)string
           isAuthor:(BOOL)isAuthor;

• When message is send or received, this delegate method will be called. You can check the author flag to identify the creator of the message.
