[[Talkable manager] setApiKey:@"YOUR_TALKABLE_PUBLIC_API_KEY" andSiteSlug:@"YOUR_SITE_SLUG"];

You can locate your credentials inside Talkable site:

• Visit https://admin.talkable.com/account/sites to find your site slug

  <key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
  <array>
    <dict>
      <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
      <array>
        <string>tkbl-<your-site-slug></string>
      </array>
