Problem

I wanted to build real-time messaging properly: smooth onboarding, auth, and live updates, not a toy chat screen.

Build

UIKit with a clean MVC structure, Firebase for auth and the Realtime Database for live messaging, wired up through CocoaPods.

Tech

UIKit, Firebase Auth, Firebase Realtime Database, CocoaPods, on an MVC structure.

Result

A working private messenger with onboarding, auth, and real-time message delivery.
