The new Messenger App Template is an iOS App Template of a Chat App. It is written in Objective-C and very easy to customise, publish to the App Store or build in to your existing project.
• Login with Facebook or your email address
• Send private messages or take part of group chats
• Set your own profile picture and change your name
• Send photos and even videos to your friends
• Stylish and clean design
• Uses Parse and Facebook SDK, the JSQMessages framework as well as the JSQSound framework and NotificationChat by RelatedCode (you can find them all on Github – see below, and if you have some knowledge in iOS development, you can build your own chat app out of these projects).
With the Messenger App, you are able to create your own private messaging service, allowing all your friends to use a new and secure chat service with a great design.
This app uses Parse.com as backend, a service that is completely free and spares you of the server-side php development – you simply register yourself at Parse.com, create an app and store all your users and messages at Parse, they will handle the server-side data management for you, so that you can concentrate on the most important, a stylish user interface. You do not need to write one single line of code!
This template is very simple to customise and reskin, due to its clean code and well-written documentation guiding you through the whole setup process.
