If you want to develop a fork

1. For starters, you need to build application.
2. Change bundle Identifier and team-id. Easiest way is to search all mentions ru.keepcoder.Telegram and change it to your own. Team-id you can find on apple developer portal.
3. Obtain your API ID. Note: The built-in apiId is highly limited for api usage. Do not use it in any circumstances except verify binaries.
4. Open Telegram-Mac/Config.swift and repalce apiId and apiHash from previous step. Note: Do not forget to change teamId either.
5. Replace or remove SFEED_URL and APPCENTER_SECRET in *.xcconfig files. (First uses for in-app updates and second for collecting crashes on appcenter)
6. Write new better code.
