iPhone Client for Social Networking

The project is about developing an iPhone client for a social networking system, where users can log in and interact (flirt) with other online users. Once logged in, users can view all the suitable profiles as per their preferences in a nice carousel view (thumbnails rotating in 360 view). They also see the list of ‘most popular’ profiles if they haven’t specified any preference. Users could then see the details/profile of interesting users and then initiate a flirt (text plus graphics illustrations) if the user is online. The target user can then ‘flirt back’ if they want and then they could further continue private chat sessions.

All incoming or outgoing flirts can be accessed from their own dedicated view (namely, inbox and outbox) and users can also access all incoming/outgoing flirts to one user from their profile screen. Flirts can be directly sent from any screen where flirt or user photo is visible.

Application has the functionality for registering for a new account on the iPhone itself. Users can then add/modify their preferences/profiles (gender, age, location, photo etc) either at time of registrations or anytime later.

Interaction with server happens over IMPS (Wireless Village 1.3) protocol. A 3rd party solution is used for providing LBS (Location Based Service).
