Learn to Develop a Snapchat-like Messaging App on iOS, using React Native, Firebase and DeepAR
Interactive messaging apps have revolutionised the way people communicate and share content. These apps provide users with the ability to exchange messages, photos, videos, and other multimedia content in real-time, enhancing the immediacy and personalisation of communication. One such popular app in this space is Snapchat, which has gained immense popularity among users of all age groups. In this course we are building a similar “demo” app, leveraging the power of React Native, Google Firestore, and augmented reality libraries like Deep AR.
What you’ll learn
- Define a project structure of components, screens and modules for a Snapchat-like app.
- Develop interactive messaging apps specific features like self-destructing messages.
- Set up Firebase, Firestore, authentication and security rules.
- Get started with React native, navigation of mobile apps and augmented reality libraries.
