• Edited the Location Privacy Usage keys into Info.plist. 
So right-click on Info.plist in Xcode, Open As -> Source code, and replace the existing <key>NSLocation... rows with this code:
  <key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
      <string>The app will use your current location to search for nearby users</string>
      <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
      <string>The app will use your current location to search for nearby users</string>
      <key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
      <string>The app will use your current location to search for nearby users</string>
      <key>NSLocationUsageDescription</key>
      <string>The app will use your current location to search for nearby users</string>

In this way, the Location permission alert will show up on devices with iOS versions older than iOS 11

FindMe is a Universal App Template where you can post your profile and have users find you by name, keywords, tags. The search nearby button searches for users around your current location.
You can also search for interesting people from all around the world, report abusive/offensive users and favorite the ones you like.
Each user will have the option to showcase his/her works by the spotlight button in his/her profile screen, you can set any link to it, from Facebook, Twitter or other social network sites to your YouTube channel, website, blog, article, etc.
Because of new EULA terms by Apple, you can report instantly a User and so block the access to his/her profile screen. You as the Admin of the app will have to daily check your Parse Dashboard to see if there are reported users and take action within 24 hours.

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.

FindMe is a native XCode project, Swift language, Storyboard, Universal, super easy to customize, backend with Parse SDK hosted on http://back4app.com
