a part of my app involves building a IM group chat. As right now, I have the whole chat working. However, the problem is that obviously is not instant. It updates in ViewDidLoad(). I know that making it instant is the hardest part in making an IM chat. I'm currently using Parse, and I initially thought of using push notifications to update the page, but Googling a little more I found out that people were saying that there are a few cons in doing that such as the fact that the user would get a crazy number of push notifications.
Do you have any idea of how could I approach this problem or how I could get my chat to be in real time?
Thanks in advance for the help.

There are 3rd party services like PubNub (https://www.pubnub.com/) and Pusher (https://pusher.com/) that offer realtime events.

I would like to customise App Suggestions in iOS programatically.
It usually says Good Morning and my app name.
Is it possible that I configure it to say something other than "good morning"?
Can I control when and where it appears?
I couldn't find much information in this regard.
Thanks,
Elstine
You can't modify App Suggestions from an application, as that content is outside of the scope of an app's sandbox.
"Good Morning" appears there because the App Suggestion feature detected that you usually use a particular app in the morning and greets you with an according message. Those strings come directly from this feature and are not app-dependent; therefore, they can't be changed as of now.

I am currently attempting to create a chat app, powered by Firebase. Ultimately, my goal is to allow users to message each other (pretty simple).
However, I am currently stuck on how to accomplish this.
Right now, I am able to create one huge, group chat, where users can post under different usernames. But, for ideal functionality, I would need users to be able to message each other directly, and not in one huge group chat.
Any help would be appreciated!
If you go checkout JSQMessageViewController it is a pod that provides all the functionality of the messages app. They also have an example that is done by fireBase written in swift. That may be a great place to start and finish.

I already have a fair bit of experience making rails applications, but I have never really tried to make an application with the use of a microphone. I don’t need to have video call, only voice, but I would want to control how many people could connect to a single call. Also I would like it to not have to do with actual phone numbers, but have a completely separate service like skype. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
This is not a trivial rails app, but just from googling I found Adhearsion
Check it out: http://www.adhearsion.com/
Adhearsion is a full-featured framework for the development of
applications which interact with or control voice communications.

I’m currently trying to find a way of sending Instagram DMs to specific users via an API (im building an iOS app and this is one of the functionality im trying to build). I know there are solutions that currently offer that (like Jarvee or Instazood) however none of them seems to offer an API that will allow me to do that in my own app. Given that Instagram current legacy of Instagram API that seems to allow DM will be discontinued on Dec 1st, I cant seem to find an option that enables me to do that. Any idea guys ?
Hey you can use https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api to send dm's to your user.
It's written in node but you can find other libraries in other languages
