You can build a back-end for an iOS app with whatever you want, although I’m pretty biased toward Elixir/Phoenix.

LiveView is amazing but it seems it is coupled tightly with HTML (for now). Phoenix Channels seems like a great way to build a real-time back-end, and there are Swift clients out there.

I’m partial to phoenix as well :) it seems so thought out out. Things work exactly as I would expect them o work. A real pleasure. Thanks for the phoenix channels suggestion looks very cool. I wonder if liveview piggybacks off of it.

I haven’t used LiveView yet but I believe it is, indeed, another layer on top of Phoenix Channels.

It’s so cool!!
