cometchat-ios-testing

Test an iOS app that embeds CometChat — what to mock vs exercise for real, keeping the CometChatSDK off the network in unit tests, waiting out the async init→login gate, and a lean XCUITest smoke. Triggers: 'test cometchat ios', 'unit test chat swift', 'mock cometchatsdk', 'xcuitest for chat', 'how do I test cometchat swift'.

> **Ground truth:** `CometChatUIKitSwift` 5.1.22 + `CometChatSDK` 4.1.7 (symbols verified vs `catalogs/ios-v5.json`); signatures FETCHED via `cometchat-ios-core/references/docs-map.md`. **The iOS UI Kit docs have no dedicated testing page** — this is the pack's own guidance (tracked DOCS GAP). The kit ships prebuilt view controllers/SwiftUI views; do not assert against their internal view hierarchy.

## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-ios-core` — the init→login→render lifecycle and the credential flow these tests exercise.

## Use this skill when
Adding tests around a CometChat iOS integration, or a "how do I test this" question. NOT part of a normal build — only when tests are explicitly requested (`RULES.md` → Verification scope).

## Decide what you are testing
Test **your** code, not the kit. Three layers:
- **Your logic** (token fetch, UID mapping, view-model state, routing) → `XCTest` in isolation, keep the SDK off the network.
- **Your wiring** (the chat screen appears after init+login; the right IDs are passed) → a host-app test that drives the launch hook.
- **The real round-trip** (send → receive) → a thin `XCUITest` against a test app, not a unit test.
