## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-ios-core` owns setup and login. This skill ADDS delivery. It is **docs-first and thin**: push depends on your Apple account, certificates and Dashboard configuration, so fetch the notifications docs via `cometchat-ios-core/references/docs-map.md` rather than trusting a baked recipe.

## Use this skill when
"add push notifications", "open the right chat when a notification is tapped", "ring on an incoming call while backgrounded".

## What you must have before any code
Push is **not** a code-only feature. All of these are prerequisites and none are things a skill can do for the user: an Apple Developer account with the Push Notifications capability, an APNs key or certificate uploaded to the **CometChat Dashboard**, and the Notifications product enabled for the app. If any are missing, say so plainly and stop — do not emit code that cannot work.

## The shape of the integration — use `CometChatPushNotifications`, do NOT hand-roll
The current, canonical iOS path is the **`CometChatPushNotifications`** SDK (module `CometChatPushNotificationsSwift`), the same one `cometchat-ios-v5-sdk` documents. Do **not** hand-roll `UIKitSettings.set(deviceToken:)` / `set(voipToken:)`, `PKPushRegistryDelegate` or `CXProviderDelegate` — those setters exist but are the legacy path the sample app and current docs no longer use.

1. Request authorisation and register for remote notifications (on a real device — **the simulator does not receive APNs**).
2. After `CometChat.init`, call `CometChatPushNotifications.shared.initialize(config:)` and set its `.delegate`. In `didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken`, forward the APNs token with `CometChatPushNotifications.shared.registerDeviceToken(_:)`. **Ordering is not your problem** — the token can arrive before login; the SDK caches it and binds it to the user automatically once you initialize and the user logs in. (There is no need to gate `didRegister…` on login, and no `set(deviceToken:)` call.)
