UIBubbleTableView issue with iPhone 6 Plus

Question

I have been using UIBubbleTableView for about two years now without much problem.

Today I checked it on iPHone 6 Plus and to my suprise the UIBubbleTableView looks as weird as in the screen shot below.

Has anyone encountered this issue before? What could be done? I think the author has decided to discontinue the support for the lib. Any alternatives that has the features of UIBubbleTableView? Thanks.

Answer 1

Try replace

(float)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

for

(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

in UIBubbleTableView.m . See UIBubbleTableView issue UIBubbleTableView is not working with 64 bit os device
Quote a comment from another issue about issue reason :

The problem is indeed the call to - (float)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath. When compiled for 64-bit, CGFloat is 64 bit, whereas float is only 32-bit. The method signature doesn't match, so heightForRow is never called. Changing it from float to CGFloat is exactly the right solution.

Answer 2

Yes, you're right, the author of UIBubbleTableView lib has been stopped support for it. Recently I've to make the similar kind of chat functionality into my app, I was satisfied with SOMessaging lib. Check it out. Its easy to customize and use. And yes, you can check out many other libs available here . But out of them, I filtered some for this answer, kindly check its sample code (whichever fits as per your needs) here's sphchatcollectionview , jsqmessagesviewcontroller and notificationchat .
