Build a Flutter chat app with Sendbird and 3rd-party UIs
summary
Step‑by‑step demo wiring a Flutter app to a real Sendbird backend: initializes the Sendbird SDK, connects with an appId and userId, queries or creates a one‑on‑one group channel, fetches messages and converts Sendbird base messages into dash_chat UI message objects, adds a channel event handler for incoming messages, and implements the onSend handler to post text messages. The minimal app shows live send/receive in the simulator and the example works end‑to‑end.
