Build an iMessage App from Scratch

Build an iMessage App from Scratch

Learn how to make an iMessage app using Swift 3 and Xcode 8, that allows users to select an emoji (or any image), combine it with a secondary image, then scale, rotate or move either image, and finally send their compiled creation as an MSMessage. Best of all, the user-created images are saved in a UIPickerView and can be resent at anytime!

Topics include:

• Working with UIPickerViews
• Displaying text or UIImageViews in UIPickerView rows
• Working with multiple components in a picker
• Adding and styling UIButtons
• Switching between Expanded and Compact modes
• Using UIView animations
• Saving Images as Data to the User Defaults
• Restoring app states based on the User Defaults
• Working with Property Lists to manage data
• Sending MSMessages

Code taught throughout this course can be used in iMessage extensions and for the most part, in any Swift 3 based Xcode project.
