Typing, typing, all the time? Or thinking about your place in the world constantly, from a lat/long perspective? Trying to send that data through PubNub and finding it a bit too expensive? Well, guess what? We have heard the need and are responding! With the introduction of PubNub Signals, customers can send and receive this type of data - think small bits of information necessary to drive a process or an app, e.g. show whether or not someone is typing - at far cheaper costs than a normal PubNub publish and subscribe.

New Swift SDK

2019-08

Learn, grow, evolve. Get better! That's our focus at PubNub and we see this in action each and every day. And with our Swift SDK - maybe Swift? - we've learned a whole bunch of the past couple of years. First, people don't want a thin wrapper around Objective C! They want to code in Swift. They want to think Swift. They don't want to think Objective C or feel like they're interacting with code that is meant for another language. Second, well, I think the first lesson was enough. So we're happy to announce the availability of our new Swift SDK. And when we say "Swift", we mean it!
