## What's here

* You can log in with Twitter.

* Powered by [Firebase](https://www.firebase.com/)

If you have issues with XCTest, check out [this issue](https://github.com/firebase/ios-swift-chat-example/issues/5).

## Setup

This example still has some rough edges around authentication. Push through them, though. It's worth the effort.'

0. Clone this repo.

0. Open `FireChat-Swift.xcodeproj` in Xcode.

0. Edit [`MessagesViewController.swift`](FireChat-Swift/MessagesViewController.swift) and change `swift-chat.firebaseio.com` to point to your Firebase.

### Configure Login

0. Create a [new Twitter app](https://apps.twitter.com/) to use for login.

0. Go to your [Firebase Dashboard](https://www.firebase.com/account/) and navigate to your Firebase app.

0. Click 'Login & Auth' in the left side menu. Select 'Twitter' and check the box to 'Enable Twitter Login'

0. Paste your Twitter API Key and API Secret into the form.

0. Edit [`LoginViewController.swift`](FireChat-Swift/LoginViewController.swift) and change `swift-chat.firebaseio.com` to point to your Firebase. Update `twitterAppId` on the next line to match your Twitter API Key.
