Layer + Parse iOS Example

This repository contains an example project that demonstrates how to implement an iOS chat application with messaging services provided by Layer, user interface components from Atlas and a user backend provided by Parse.

Requirements

This application requires Xcode and the iOS SDK v8.0. Dependencies are managed via CocoaPods to simplify installation.

Setup

Clone the project from Github: $ git clone https://github.com/layerhq/Layer-Parse-iOS-Example.git
Install the dependencies in the root directory via CocoaPods: $ pod install
Open Layer-Parse-iOS-Example.xcworkspace in Xcode.
Replace LayerAppIDString , ParseAppIDString , and ParseClientKeyString in AppDelegate.m with your Layer and Parse credentials.
Add the Layer Parse Module to your Parse Cloud Code to serve as an authentication manager.
(Recommended) If you want test users, import the User.json file found under Supporting Files from the XCode project into your User class on Parse.
Build and run the application on your Simulator to create a new user and begin messaging!

Highlights

Uses ParseUI to authenticate and create new users.
Demonstrates how to get identity tokens from Parse Cloud Code using the Layer Parse Cloud Module
Uses Atlas, Layer's UI components

Configuration
