MyStream is an app template where you can post anything you would like to show to the world, like pictures, videos, audio recordings, and stickers, as well as any text you want.

Users can comment, like and share Streams, as well as report them and their Users to the Admin. You, as the Admin of the app, need to daily check your own Parse Dashboard for the reported content or users and take actions for them.

In addition to the mobile app, you can find a web PHP version where users can browse, comment and like Streams, check posts from the people they follow, report content and users. The website version has a javascript control that displays a different page in case of phones browsers detection, that page has the App Store badges where users can download the mobile app. Also, the website doesn’t allow people to post Streams, only the mobile version allow that.
You can check the demo website here: https://www.cubycode.com/mystream/index.php

MyStream is a native Xcode project, Swift language, Universal, Parse SDK hosted on http://back4app.com, super easy to customize.

What about free support for this template?

Should I use the latest version of Xcode to edit this template?

Why do I need to have login from Apple Account in the app?
