Location Chat

This is an iOS and node.js example app to demonstrate realtime chat and location tracking in a mobile app.

Features

  • Send realtime chat messages to other connected users
  • See other users' positions on a map
  • Request an updated location from another user

To Run

The iOS app uses the CocoaAsyncSocket project for TCP connectivity, so you'll get the submodule after cloning:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Start the Node app

By default, the node app runs on localhost on port 3000. To start the node app:

cd ./location-chat-server
node index.js

You should see

Server listening on 3000

Start the iOS app

Run the iOS app from the simulator and you should get a "sign in" screen. Just enter any name and the app will use that as your 'Client ID' for the time connected.

That's it!
