Now you can make your chat more alive by sending typing.. information to another user, so the other user will know you are typing some text to him.
Note that this feature will only work from CometChat v5.7 onwards and by using CometService.

Return type: void
Usage:

[cometChat isTyping:YES channel:buddyChannel];

OR

[cometChat isTyping:NO channel:buddyChannel];

21. To set Development Mode On/Off. If development mode is enabled (On), you can see request/response of SDK in console.

To enable Development mode pass ‘flag’ as ‘YES’.
