Section 4

MSStickers, UIButtons, UIScrollViews and Property Lists

In this section, you'll learn how to initiate sending an MSSticker without going through an MSStickerBrowserView. We'll create a simple UIButton to send a sticker, then create an interface of UIButtons within a UIScrollView to send stickers based on a property list. This code can be used in any iOS project, not simply within an iMessage app.

Section 6

iMessage App Sessions

In this section we'll go over MSSessions to create a Paper, Scissors, Rock type game between two people messaging each other. This will create a unique session ID between messages to keep track of who's turn it is, who made what move, etc. This is the foundation of countless other session-based messaging apps.

Section 8

Build an App that Sends Customizable iMessage Images

In this course we will build an iMessage app that lets users select images from a UIPickerView, then customize the image with another UIView. For example, people could select an emoji cartoon, then add a background meme, or caption image like "LOL". Users can even save these images to re-edit later.
