Update note: Ryan Ackermann updated this tutorial to iOS 12, Swift 4.2, Xcode 10, MessageKit, and Cloud Firestore. Tom Elliott wrote the original tutorial. You can safely ignore the warnings about updating to Swift 4.2 since MessageKit is not yet updated. It seems like every major app out there has a chat feature — and yours should be no different! This Firebase tutorial will show you how. However, creating a chat tool can seem like a daunting task. There's no native UIKit controls designed specifically for chat, and you'll need a server to coordinate the messages and conversations between users. Fortunately, there are some great frameworks out there to help you: Firebase lets you synchronize real time data without writing a line of server code, while MessageKit gives you a messaging UI that's on par with the native Messages app. In this Firebase tutorial, you'll build RWRC (Ray Wenderlich Relay Chat) — an anonymous chat application. If you've used IRC or Slack, this sort of application should already be familiar to you.
