Twilio Programmable Chat API

" summary

Twilio Programmable Chat API is generally available and provides iOS, web, and Android SDKs; server-side code must generate authentication tokens. The demo builds a client that finds a channel named "general", calls join, and handles realtime updates via the messageAdded delegate by appending to a messages array and reloading a table view. The API removes the need to write WebSocket sync code. A promo code trySwift17 gives $25 of Twilio credit for testing.
