AnyPhone
An example iOS (Swift) app for phone-based user accounts with Twilio + Parse
Requirements
- Parse account (Sign up at Parse.com)
- Twilio account & phone number (Sign up at Twilio.com)
Getting Started
- Create a new Parse App, and set up a Cloud Code folder for the project.
- Copy the contents of the
cloud/folder from this repository into thecloud/folder in your Cloud Code folder. - Edit
main.jsto include your Twilio Account Sid, Auth Token, and phone number. Generate some random string to use as the password token. - Open the AnyPhone Xcode project, and put your Parse Application Id and Client Key in
AppDelegate.swift. - Deploy your Cloud Code by running
parse deployfrom the root of your Cloud Code folder.
Setting Up AnyPhone Web
- Enable Hosting on your Parse App by going to the Settings > Hosting page. Add a subdomain name (ex. "anyphonetest123") that will allow you to access AnyPhone for Web.
- Delete 'index.html' from the generated Cloud Code folder to allow rendering of our 'index.ejs' instead
- Edit 'dashboard.ejs' to include your Parse App Id and Parse Javascript Key
- Visit the hosted pages using the subdomain you created. http://*.parseapp.com
Optionally
- Lock down the User class in the Data Browser. Remove all permissions except Update from the Public role. This is a good idea even though we're already setting a restrictive ACL on each User we create through this process. You can remove the "Add Field" permission only after using the app, or after manually creating the additional columns.
- Get involved and contribute to the project:
- Enhance the input validation to support more countries and number formats
- Improvements to the flow and user experience
- Add brute-force protection, resetting the code after a few failed attempts
