PLEASE READ!!

This app is an incredible idea, and as a best buddies vice president, it is also very helpful. That out of the way, many little things should be fixed to make it even more useful: Every time i close the app it makes me sign in again. Wouldnt mind that being fixed-make it like instagram! Even though news from other states is great, it will only clutter things when students and officers get on to the app. I would like to turn off that kind of feed. No rush on this, but i wouldnt mind it if there was a way to at least crop and move a profile picture as i set it Our chapter hasn't actively begun yet this year, as school starts tomorrow, but I'm hoping that with the full use of the app that there arent very many more of those little things. Please understand that i really like this app and the idea despite those little things. I just want you guys to make it the best it can be!

Great way to promote friendship and Best Buddies mission

BBI: This is just the thing chapter members, school chapters, and state offices have been seeking to communicate all the positive experiences shared by members. It's ease of submitting buddy pair updates through social posts is going to be fantastic. Great job! I do want to report that some of its functionality isn't working. On all devices I've tried, I cannot post pictures from my camera roll. I've seen it work on student's iOS devices. It also does not allow you to pinch to zoom while taking a picture. Looking forward to seeing the app's future enhancement and its rollout to all chapters. Kevin Hausmann-FA ARHS Best Buddies Northborough, MA
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
