By default, this returns an instance of
Google::Apps::Chat::V1::ChatService::Client
for a gRPC client for version V1 of the API.
However, you can specify a different API version by passing it in the
version parameter. If the ChatService service is
supported by that API version, and the corresponding gem is available, the
appropriate versioned client will be returned.
You can also specify a different transport by passing :rest or :grpc in
the transport parameter.
Raises an exception if the currently installed versioned client gem for the
given API version does not support the given transport of the ChatService service.
You can determine whether the method will succeed by calling
Chat.chat_service_available?.
