Creating a Firebase project and add to new iOS project6:06
In this first lesson we go to the Firebase website and create a project. We also create a new XCode project and take the necessary steps to add Firebase to our PhotoShare app. This includes adding CocoaPods to our project and adding a pod to the podfile.
Adding Facebook login to our app18:22
In this lesson we visit the Facebook Developer page and create a Facebook app. In this app we choose Facebook login as a product which involves copying frameworks to our XCode project and making changes to the AppDelegate.
Test users and logging in to Firebase with Facebook credential11:11
There is a handy option in the Facebook app to create test users. With these test users you can login to the app. Then we create a credential that we use to log in to Firebase.
Refactoring Firebase calls and setting up a login flow28:28
In this lesson we create screens for the complete login flow. In the AppDelegate we choose between going to the login screen or the profile screen based on an existing Facebook token. Also we separate our Firebase calls to a class which is a good pattern.
Recap and adding logout functionality27:19
In this last lesson we take a moment to recap the work from the previous lessons. Then we add a navigation bar to our profile screen with a Logout button. We also write the code to return to the login page and sign out of Firebase and Facebook.

Setting up screens15:09
Configure the app's three main screens, timeline, friends, and profile, within a tab bar controller, embed in navigation controllers, and wire login to home segues in the storyboard.
Adding a search bar on the Friends screen20:32
Add a search bar to the friends screen to find users in the Firebase database, using a search controller and delegate methods to update search results in real time.
Search results part 1.35:29
Search results part 220:01
Query Firebase for users by name, starting at the input text and ending at text plus tilde. Map results to user objects and refresh the search results controller.
Inviting friends42:09
Display invitations and friends40:12
Accepting invitations53:29
Learn to accept invitations in a Firebase-backed iOS app by implementing swipe actions, updating invitations and friends in the database, and reflecting changes in the UI.

Creating posts1:03:02
Creating the UI for displaying posts27:30
Making the Firebase call and finish the posts screen40:30
Define a post model with photo, user photo, text, and timestamp, then fetch and observe posts from Firebase by user id to populate the posts screen.
A generic method for inserting and sorting posts18:25
Making the UI for the timeline30:00
Loading and displaying posts on the timeline31:32
Making the UI for a post detail screen54:14
Build a post detail interface for a photo sharing app, with a post and comments list and a bottom keyboard toolbar that animates during text input, preparing for Firebase integration.
Creating and loading comments1:13:38
Autolayout fix9:55
