Social Live Streaming Chat App with admin panel to manage and some games

I’m building a real-time live-streaming social app that runs smoothly on both iOS and Android. Viewers must be able to watch a host go live, type comments that appear instantly, send virtual gifts that trigger on-screen animations, and play with fun AR filters or effects while broadcasting.

All users should be able to create an account with whichever method suits them—classic email/password, one-tap social login, or phone number verification—then switch devices without losing data. A straightforward profile page, text chat outside the stream, push notifications for when favourite hosts go live, and a simple in-app wallet for gifts are also part of the plan.

While I’m flexible on the tech stack, I do expect:

• Mobile builds for iOS and Android, approved for App Store and Play Store
• A scalable back-end that handles high-volume simultaneous viewers with low latency (WebRTC or similar)
• Moderation tools for blocking users or muting comments in real time
• Clean, maintainable source code handed over in a private repo, plus clear instructions for future updates

Please tell me which streaming framework or cloud service you prefer, how you’ll integrate real-time chat and gifting, and an estimated timeline for a first test build.
