Learn how to make an iMessage app using Swift 3 and Xcode 8, that allows users to select an emoji (or any image), combine it with a secondary image, then scale, rotate or move either image, and finally send their compiled creation as an MSMessage. Best of all, the user-created images are saved in a UIPickerView and can be resent at anytime!

Topics include:

Working with UIPickerViews
Displaying text or UIImageViews in UIPickerView rows
Working with multiple components in a picker
Adding and styling UIButtons
Switching between Expanded and Compact modes
Using UIView animations
Saving Images as Data to the User Defaults
Restoring app states based on the User Defaults
Working with Property Lists to manage data
Sending MSMessages

Code taught throughout this course can be used in iMessage extensions and for the most part, in any Swift 3 based Xcode project.�
