Description
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

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