I want to build an iOS native app with Status’s chat, but how to start? Thx!

This is related to Status.app

As Status runs natively on iOS, it should be possible to use status geth fork. Not sure, as I don’t know Apple ecosystem.

Thanks for your enthusiasm to get started Allen. Do you have much iOS experience? @ricardo3’s post should help get you started, then also come check out the #status-core channel in Status if you have any questions.

You can build* status-go for iOS (make statusgo-ios) and you will have Statusgo.framework file for using in your iOS application.

*you might need to setup the environment for golang first and install gomobile.

So far, the chat protocol itself is implemented in ClojureScript, but you can take a look at this repo to see how most of our chats work.
