Improve README

• Show install instructions to run this project
• Add reference to the Bitbucket repository
• Add a database model definition
• Add reference to the License used for this project
• Add some UML diagrams to understand the basic architecture, the initial could be a Class Diagram

Custom Table View Cell

• status is already the name that the system is looking for, those if are unnecessary
• If awakeFromNib or setSelected:animated: doesn't bring any value, please remove them

General Practices

• Hide in a category internal properties
• Avoid commented code
• Try to homologate iteration, or use enumerates or simple control flow statements like for or define when is used one or the other
• Free memory in the method didReceiveMemoryWarning or if not required, just remove it
• Dependency injection must be only in the Assembly for example: [self.chatBusinessController setHandler: self];
• The registerNibs method can be extracted as a Helper function or in a Class that ChatTableViewController and RosterViewController inherits
• numberOfSectionsInTableView override is superflouos if equal to the response the superclass UITableViewController
• Order the methods from a class based on the functionality or put together methods that belong to a certain protocol using #pragma or split in different categories
• Avoid comments in other language than English
• As a general rule, 3 nested bucle control flows is a bad sign of code that can be improved ( see: UpdateValuesHandler )
• Only expose the used methods for a given class, for example: MainAssembly

Tips

• Improve logging
• Add some documentation for the methods at the protocols this helps a lot with readability

Show cache msg meanwhile when offline

Cache messages receive from the user

Save messages local
