In-App Purchases und Facebook SDK integration
I believe one of the most useful features for app developers would be IAPs for iOS (much more important than Android) and possibly Android. Monetization via in-app purchases nowadays is almost the only way to make any money.

I would like to request a shop contribution for the in-app purchase feature on iOS for a start. A simple feature to realize an in-app purchase via the Apple Store. Am I right that many Esenthel developers would help finish this contribution quickly?

Then I think many would love an integration of the Facebook SDK to realize what Candy Crush is doing, i.e. the following features:
- Login via Facebook
- Receive list of friends and their icon
- Send + Receive requests

I'm going to work on IAPs for iOS and Android next week (EE 1.0). Maybe I could put this in the store as separate eclipse / xcode projects. I think this can be coded for re-usability.

Sounds good. Why specifically for EE 1.0?
I guess the code could be used for EE 2.0 as well.

Anyway, you would have your first customer when done.

Just because I use 1.0, but yes could be used for 2.0.

I've decreased the contribution price to only 500$, and! included displaying Google AdMob ads for both platforms.

Greg, if you switch the AdMob stuff with integration of the Facebook SDK, this would be much more attractive I think. I can't afford the full 500$ and if I contribute less, I don't want the contribution to sit there for weeks without completing, can't afford that to happen.

I'd rather do the ads first as I think it's easier to do and just as useful (alternative way to earn noney).
For this contribution maybe I'll make this offer :
If I receive At least half the money then I'll start working on it in a month.
If I receive full payment then I'll start working on it now.
Isn't anyone else interested in these features?

Let's ask around. Who is willing to contribute a part?
I think I can safely do 150-200$. If only 10 more licensees contribute 30$, we'd be there.

iOS IAPs and game center (achievements).

Since some functions need my game code I can't make clean projects but I'll post the files here when finished. Might will help esenthel to integrate this features.

Now, google play iaps + achievements smile

RE: In-App Purchases und Facebook SDK integration
A little update. I've been having problems with google play (GP).

APK sizes > 50Mg cannot be uploaded to GP!

There are 2 solutions:

1) Use an external storage like Amazon S3 and create a downloader with EE gui and handle with versions and patchs, and pay costs of the service. (EE::Patcher doesn't work on "static" services since it needs a php file to be executed.)

2) Use Apk Extension Files (.obb) (4 gb max). It's free. They are downloaded into a shared folder (usually data/Android/obb/yourpackagename). You need to provide a downloader written with java , check files when game starts and pass the path to EE under JNI.

My choice is 2), after 3 days researching finally I have my game reading an .obb file (data.pak).

Let's go for iaps / achievements now pfft
