Hey everybody what's going on this is Caleb with Debb slopes dot com and in this video we're going to
add in static stickers and we're going to test them in message.
Very very cool stuff.
So pull open that X code project and when we last left off in our project we had a sticker pack folder
as well as an I message app icon.
So what we're going to be doing here is just simply dragging some images into our sticker pack and I
want to show you how we can you know set them up and use them in index code.
So you should have downloaded some assets at the very beginning of this project there's a little folder
with a download icon.
Now what we can do is we can go into that folder and we can go ahead and click on stickers static and
you'll see there is a selection of different stickers in this folder.
Now if I want to use these all I have to do is select them all drag them and release them.
That's it.
I'm not even kidding.
So those are now in our sticker pack and you'll see that each one gets added in to the sticker pack
which is pretty cool.
Now you'll notice they all have transparent backgrounds which is exactly right and I don't know about
you but I want to go test this.
So I'm going to go ahead and just choose something that will load quickly like the iPhone 7 simulator
and I'm going to go ahead and build and run this.
And we'll see how we do.
OK so it's going to build is going to compile everything and load the simulator for us which is perfect.
There it is.
And the cool thing is in the simulator you now can go into X code load a project and you can test it
with a simulated message account.
So at the moment everything is loading.
BUT GUYS LOOK AT THIS.
There are stickers we just added all those in right.
Look at that.
There they are.
Very very cool.
So if I wanted to send a message I could say Hey Kate what's up and maybe send an image.
Boom.
And now I can go into my sticker pack here.
And what I can do is hope sometimes there's some issues I can go into the sticker pack and I can just
pick up a sticker.
You see that it makes that really cool animation.
I can just pick up a sticker and I can drop my little backpack there and say hey let's go backpacking.
And then if I wanted to I could say hmm I don't know.
Drop a little mace on there just for fun.
Maybe that tells how I feel about backpacking.
But guys look at that.
That is how easy it is to create a sticker pack with static images but static images are only so fun.
You know they're they're fun they're great but animated sticker packs are what the real deal is.
So in the next video we're going to create an animated sticker pack using AP Engy as well as GIF.
And I'm going to show you some of the things you need to know about using each of those.
But for the most part guys are sticker pack here is taking shape.
We're able to add in static images.
Drop them.
We can even click on them and send them individually like that.
But guys our app is taking shape.
This is incredible.
Awesome awesome work guys.
In the next video we're going to add in those animated stickers and I'll show you a few things that
you need to know.
So let's head over that way now.
