Hi @rohamg, I was wondering if you could please share the libraries and frameworks you are using? I'm also building a mobile app in Swift with a web backend in Go. I've done a bit of research, and I think I'm going to use the following:

iOS:

* MagicalRecord - CoreData abstraction (https://github.com/magicalpanda/MagicalRecord) * mogenerator - better CoreData class management (https://github.com/rentzsch/mogenerator) * RestKit - with REST API endpoint (http://restkit.org/)

Go:

* Gin - Web framework. I really like the focus on performance, and that it seems to include all the features you need for an API (authorization, route grouping, etc.) (https://gin-gonic.github.io/gin/) * gorm - for most CRUD operations / queries (https://github.com/jinzhu/gorm) * sqlx - for more complex queries (https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx) * apns - push notifications (https://github.com/anachronistic/apns) * gingorelic - New Relic integration (https://github.com/q1t/gingorelic) * APIBlueprint - API documentation (http://apiblueprint.org/)

Argh, formatting. And now I can't edit or delete it.
