How to make an IOS chat room?

[UnicornMan]

Hi, I have seen tutorials for making chat rooms in mmf2 but it doesn't work on IOS. Is there a tutorial where it will show me how to make a chat room in Fusion 2.5 for IOS?

The iOS runtime already has a lot of extensions available but some regarding network connectivity are still not ported yet. The most important one; the GET object is however ported. With it you can ask any HTTP (Web) server to get a webpage.
You could code your chat app so that the server stores the chat log in a database. You could then ask the server once in a while (you decide how often) if there were any new messages since last time you asked. You can do that by sending the last chat-ID number to the server and it will return all chat-messages with a higher ID number.
This is useful because iOS apps are paused by the operating system when it goes into the background. Once you open up the app again it can retrieve all the messages that were sent while the app was inactive (or even completely closed).
