Hi @AntonioEsito

I am currently working on a couple of updates to this plugin. Some of the changes in this PR has landed on the master branch.

If its not much of a hassle, you can point to the master branch in your pubspec.yaml; particularly the below commit:

livechatt:
    git:
      url: [email protected]:mastersam07/livechat.git
      ref: master

There are a couple of changes remaining to go live. Basically some new features were added to android without the ios support. Those should land later today.

Closing this as a new version has been published.
