Hi, all!
I'm new to the language, Swift and I want to convert from a Ruby on Rails web developer to a devoted iOS Developer.
I have been "living" on the web trying to know if there is a backend for the integration of iOS User Login/Registration. I was told about Parse but that is closing down. What do you guys use in you Apps? Firebase?
The App I want to create has user profile, authentication etc and payments.
Parse is closing down, but they are releasing the code for their backend so if you're able to host it yourself, it's still an option.
Apple has CloudKit which can do most of what Parse did and more.
How much does cloudKit cost?
I've been looking at Backendless, which looks and acts very similiar to Parse.
I still have to re-write some stuff. 😢
Yes I was just looking at CloudKit. Looks ok.
Usually $0 but it depends...
While I agree that CloudKit might be a good solution for your situation, I think that it prevents you from expand to a different platform, so if you later decide to bring your app to Android, it might require you to change to a different provider, or keep two separated backends.
But can't you use CloudKitJS from an Android phone?
I thought so, but after doing some research, you can do some use with Web and iOS/OS X. I wanted to use CloudKit, but I got deterred by that limitation.
I don't remember the sources, but there were some posts on StackOverflow and they linked to terms of use of CloudKit.
We, at https://rubygarage.org/had faced with same problem, but we solved it with ruby on rails help
