    So ive been reading a bunch from photon as well as from Forge Net. I cant seem to find something that would work efficiently with android and ios in app chat network. I basically have an oilfield application that is used for oilfield applications and am wanting to add a chat system so the guys and gals can chat with each other. Is there another way to get a simple chat system implemented?

    You could use basically any networking library, run a central server that acts as a hub, have all clients connect to and send / receive messages from the central server.

    Any networking solution where you can have a central server will support this. Send message from the client to the server, determine on the server who to direct the message to, and then send that message to any interested clients. Optionally store the message on the server to send to any newly connecting clients that may also be interested in the message.
