Firebase

The app is built with Firebase, a mobile backend solution by Google. My first messenging app used Parse, as many of you know, parse is a thing of the past. In fact, Firebase is fast and easy to implement. If you decide to use or develop this app, I would highly recommend you to read Firebase's 👉 documentation and also create a Firebase account.

Build it together

Clone or download the project. Make you that you have a firebase account and update Google info.plist. This repository is also a great resource for starting a firebase project. 😀

Future plans:

• Push notifications with Parse server. (my own)
• WatchKit extension ⌚️
• voice call and video call 📞📲

chat's Issues

Ultimate Firebase Chat

Hi, I’d like to contribute to the effort of creating a great Firebase Chat library for iOS written in Swift. There are currently 780 repos on GitHub and I am in a process of writing the 781st one. Which kind of doesn’t make sense.

Would you be interested in joining forces and working together on a common library?

https://github.com/kutakmir/OpenFirebaseChat/

I made an incentive to create a community-driven Firebase Chat library that we all can use and will be better than any of the individual ones that are out there at the moment. We can start by forking one of the existing ones and then keep on improving it together.

User info never saved in Firebase database.

After a user is being registered. The information is not saved in the database. Therefore, others can't see the available users to begin a new chat.

Update readme

How should I start chat, with someone?
