Description
pure is a revolutionary, full-working template (UI + Source Code) that you may either hate or totally love!
Its concept and design are minimalist, both app and website allow users to make text-only posts on the homepage and chat in real-time in the public chatroom. There are no images, no GIFs, no videos, no comments, no likes, and no friends.
You can set any username, and messages sent in the chatroom are automatically deleted from the server after one day.
In the era of full-featured, busy social networks, this application can break their rules and attract people who just want to have fun and purely share their thoughts, quotes, whatever, without getting the distraction of comments, likes, followers, and all that stuff.
The package contains a web PHP version too, the included Documentation explains how to set up both the app and website.

Requirements
The latest official version of Xcode – Beta versions of an IDE usually never work 100% properly, and the code of this app has been written using the latest official version of Xcode and you can download it from the Mac App Store. You must use it and avoid Betas.
An Apple Mac computer, updated to its latest OS version – It’s always good to keep your macOS up to date, technology keeps growing and I follow its changes, as well as updating my templates every time a new OS gets released.
An Apple Developer Account with an active iOS Development Program – This is needed for you to publish apps on the iTunes App Store. You can still edit this template on code without that account, but you won’t be able to run it on your real iOS device since you’ll need a Team ID.
Basic knowledge of Xcode and Swift language – You don’t need to be a skilled or professional developer, anyway it’s recommended to have at least the basic knowledge of what you’re dealing with, in order to be able to customize this template and publish your applications on the App Store.
A free account on back4app.com – You can create and edit your Parse App and database, get the necessary keys for configurations and test this template for free. It has limitations though, so please check the Pricing table and consider subscribing for a paid plan after your app got published on the App Store.
An active AdMob account – Unless you want to remove ads in this app, you need to sign up for an AdMob account to display them.
A domain + hosting on GoDaddy – This template has been tested on GoDaddy, so this is the hosting provider that I strongly recommend you to use. DO NOT upload the file on 000webhost.com or other free hosting providers!
A real device to test the app before submitting it to the App Store – iOS Simulators may fail during tests, they are not reliable as a real device is, so I strongly recommend you to always run this application on a real phone/tablet. This is also suggested by Apple’s official Guidelines.

Do not worry about it, just ignore those warnings - they aren't errors - and the app will still work perfectly and the design won't get messed up.

======================
iOS VERSION
======================
- Optimized the layout on iPad by adding an instance of 'UIDevice.current.userInterfaceIdiom' in the following files/functions:
1) Home.swift --> 'viewDidLoad()'
2) Chat.swift --> 'viewDidLoad()'
- Edited the Chat.swift, Home.swift, Account.swift and UserProfile.swift files by adding a 'callQuery()' function that resets the [PFObject] array, the 'skip' value, and calls the main query
** Compare your old .swift files with the updated ones to perform the code changes **
======================
WEB VERSION
======================
- Optimized the PHP code into a better syntax (I've changed a lot of code, ANYWAY: you may still keep the current version of your PHP files since I haven't added or took away any feature from the original template, it's just a code optimization).
** You should compare your old PHP files with the new ones, one by one if you want to perform this update **
