GamePicker 2016 is an iOS (and hopefully soon an Android app) created for picking winners of NFL games. Users pick the teams they think will win each week and can compare their scores with their friends to see who is the best at picking.
Right now there are two modes of picking:
- Weekly picks - See how well you do week to week picking the winners of NFL games
- Yearly picks - See how well you do picking the whole NFL season before it even starts
GamePicker 2016 is a native iOS application written in ES6 Javascript using Facebook's React Native. The application uses Firebase to store data and for authentication. The Firebase Javascript API was used to communicate with the realtime database. The React-Native-Social-Auth was used to get OAuth credentials which then get passed to firebase using the same Javascript API. GamePicker 2016 sends updates to users using CodePush, which helps push over the air updates to the JavaScript code.
