Both iOS and Android version can share the same Parse database
10 April 2018 • Updated to Xcode 9.3
6 October 2017 • Edited the Location Privacy Usage keys into Info.plist. So right-click on Info.plist in Xcode, Open As -> Source code, and replace the existing <key>NSLocation... rows with this code: <key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of Interest</string> <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of Interest</string> <key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of Interest</string> <key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs your current location to show you nearby Points Of Interest</string> In this way, the Location permission alert will show up on devices with iOS versions older than iOS 11
Finder is a Universal App template for you to build your own Points of Interest app. mostly dedicated to a city. You can easily add POI’s data directly on your Parse Dashboard on back4app.com or on adminca.com.
Once you’ll create a new POI row, you will have to manually type its category, just make sure it matches the uppercase and lowercase characters of the names stored in the Categories class, otherwise, the app won’t recognize them.
Since its backend is by Parse Server, you don’t have to buy any domain/hosting, there are NO PHP files to upload to a web server so you’ll save some money for server side.
