Zendesk SDK is a mobile SDK designed to work with messaging and the Agent Workspace. It is important to consider certain factors when using it, such as limitations and customization options.

The SDK has known issues and limitations, which are detailed in the developer documentation for iOS and Android. Additionally, Google requires specific actions for Firebase notifications on Android. When customizing the SDK, avoid overwriting core frameworks like UIKit on iOS, as this can affect functionality. Instead, extend the UIKit API to maintain expected behavior.
