current location to show Monsters around you string key NSLocationUsageDescription key string The App needs your current location to show Monsters around you string In this way the Location permission alert will show up on devices with iOS versions older than iOS 11 Catch The Monsters is a Universal Geolocation Game Template where you have to find monsters around your area and if the app finds them you must get closer to them at least 50 meters and catch them to earn points and climb the Top 10 Leaderboard or just share your statistics on social networks Mail and SMS As the Admin of the app you have to insert as many Monsters as you want in any location of the world into your Parse Dashboard so users who access the app can search for Monsters around their areas and if they are there User can tap a Monster and get its position on the Map You can easily insert Monsters coordinates name and points via the Parse Dashboard everything is explained in the User Guide included in the package The embedded Map gives you the possibility to trace a route to get from your current position to the Monster s one TIP FOR TESTING AND PUBLISHING You should create some Monster around your current area and use a real device to test this app so you can walk or drive towards those monsters and catch them Please also note that once you catch a Monster it gets removed from the Monsters class in your Parse Dashboard otherwise other Users may catch the same Monsters you ve caught in a specific area so you should daily check your Dashboard to add new Monsters and keep the game alive It s a big challenge that may amaze your users anywhere they are or just in a specific Country because you may place Monsters in a chosen Country and publish your own version of this app to that Country s App Store only then buy another License on this page localize Monsters in another Country and publish a new app and so on Another great thing you Admin can do is to use Push web console on back4app to send Push Notifications to all registered devices For instance let s pretend you ve added new Monsters in the New York area you can send a notification to your users like New Monsters got in New York City last night catch them all and keep your users wanting to play the game 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 Catch The Monsters is a native XCode project Swift language Storyboard Universal super easy to customize backend with Parse SDK hosted on http back4app
