Snapshot for develop branch

[rupinderjeet]

I am trying to use latest 'ui-components' lib in my project. However, most of the customizations I need are not released yet. How can I tell gradle to target this repository's develop branch? I searched around, and found that this is what a snapshot is for. Also, I saw that you used something related to 'SNAPSHOTS' in your build.gradle when creating/releasing(?) pom.

I have tried creating aar(s) for required modules and importing them through "lib" folder. But, I am facing a lot of gradle dependancy-merge conflicts.

So, right now, is there a way to access develop branch's content as a snapshot that I can use in gradle? Please let me know.

Hello @rupinderjeet

Currently, we don't have an official Snapshot Deploy Process yet, but for your needs, you can use Jitpack, which allows you to get a compiled version from any OpenSource Github Repository.
Here you can find instructions to use develop branch as your version:
https://jitpack.io/#getstream/stream-chat-android/develop-SNAPSHOT

Pay attention that the GroupID needs to be changed to com.github.getstream.stream-chat-android and you need to select the proper artifact you want to use.

You can generate a custom version from a concrete SHA1 Commit as well
