Are there any plans for an iOS/Swift client? So far it seems only js and Java clients are available...

Yup, we're in the process of finalizing it. There's a related issue at https://github.com/deepstreamIO/deepstream.io/issues/68 with links to the beta artefacts.

Nice, really appreciate the progress here! However, is there any reason the artifacts aren't on github? It may be more convenient when it comes to issues/changelogs etc.

agreed, they will be soon. At the moment the core is cross-compiled from the Java-Client using j2obc, hence the underlying repo is the java one. We are in the process of evaluating how well this worked.

:D I am actually trying to do something similar with the js client. I recently tried to convert it to Dart using jsparser, since i am working with http://flutter.io, a hybrid app development project from Google. It worked out just fine for now, currently testing it to get the weak spots fixed.
