Email-based instant messaging for iOS.

How to build with Xcode

$ git clone git@github.com:deltachat/deltachat-ios.git
$ cd deltachat-ios
$ open deltachat-ios.xcworkspace # do not: open deltachat-ios.xcodeproj

This should open Xcode. Then make sure that at the top left in Xcode there is deltachat-ios selected as scheme (see screenshot below).

Now build and run - e.g. by pressing Cmd-r - or click on the triangle at the top:

Roadmap / TODO for 'minimal viable version'

  • [X] use new deltachat-core-api and adapt threads to the following scheme: https://deltachat.github.io/api/ (the current ios-implementation relies on threads created by deltachat-core; this is no longer done)
  • [X] threads should be created when going to foreground and removed when going to background. we could say, for the first version, we're a foreground app and figure out background things later
  • [X] order: new group, new contact
  • allow group creation (afaik groups created on other devices are already displayed), leave out group settings and settings for contact for now
  • ui-polishing, eg.
    • smarter time/date display (time beside messages, date as headlines)
    • adapt avatars (use the colored images from the chatlist also in the chat, no avatars beside outgoing messages
    • show e-mail-address in the chat-title and/or open profile when clicking on chat-title (subtitle) dc_chat_get_subtitle
  • add a progress indicator while doing the configuration
  • allow sending of images and taking+sending photos directly from the camera. (videos and voice messages and other attachments can be done in a later version)
  • allow advanced configuration options on setup to make sure users can connect if the autoconfig fails (imap-server, imap-port, imap-flags, same for smtp - if not yet implemented (cannot test currently, iphone-battery is empty))
  • text drafts (not really important at first) is included in dc_chat_get_subtitle
