Re:Ask HN: Could any iOS Developer Give me some pointers? on Thursday January 08, 2015 @10:18AM (#8856712)
Yes. When the user opens the app I will get their current location and add it to a column in the database 'currentLocation' Then I will query the database like so: select * from users where userOnlineStatus = 'online' and currentLocation = ""; <- That is what I would want to do. Its just calculating the distance so that not all random users are showing up.

I would but the question is vague and has no code so will only be closed and downvoted.

As part of my iOS Development journey I want to create an app that will find users of the app within a specified radius of the current user. The best way I can describe this is like dating apps when you specify how far you want to search. How would I go about solving this - Has anyone got any great links or tutorials they could direct me to? Much appreciated.

I'm not too sure but flappy bird the game only got successful overnight because someone hated how crap it was and posted it onto Buzzfeed. Then it went viral.
