The Register button will place the new account in the UserManager, allowing us to perform a Login with those account details as they now exist in the UserManager. Once we login, we can't do anymore unless we have another mobile client that can run the app and login. It is best to test this application with two mobile devices running the mobile application. Once both have logged in and the clients list screen has been loaded, each user will be connected to the user, and both users can now click on each other to navigate to the chat window and begin sending messages to each other...
