In a previous article 1 I introduced mobile back end as a service (MBaaS) which aims at giving app developers the ability to create seamlessly new feature-complete cross-platform native and web applications. The next step is implementing a complete demo application using those ideas. Through this real working application, you will be able to see the areas in which MBaaS provides value. This first part will walk you through a messaging application demo powered by the Kinvey application and explore how to leverage user management, file storage and the data store. The second part will complete the demo and demonstrate how to leverage two key pieces of Kinvey functionality: the permissions provided by the data store, and push notifications, which are enabled through the business logic functionality. Setting Up Before jumping into the demo application, I want to highlight a few points. First, because I am using a real app to discuss MBaaS, knowledge of the development platform would be extremely helpful. I am leveraging iOS with Swift.
