Setup

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

Configure Firebase

Go to your Firebase Dashboard and create a new Firebase app.
Clone this repo.
Open FireChat-Swift.xcodeproj in Xcode.
Edit MessagesViewController.swift and change swift-chat.firebaseio.com to point to your Firebase.

Configure Login

Create a new Twitter app to use for login.
Go to your Firebase Dashboard and navigate to your Firebase app.
Click 'Login & Auth' in the left side menu. Select 'Twitter' and check the box to 'Enable Twitter Login'
Paste your Twitter API Key and API Secret into the form.
Edit 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.
Run the app on a device or simulator
On your iOS device or simulator, go to Settings, scroll down to the accounts section (which contains Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Vimeo), select Twitter -> Add Account.
