CoronaCards (Corona in native apps) CoronaCards for WP8
#1

Do we have any options on WP8 for social sharing?

In all our apps (iOS, Android) we have integrated a screen where the user can share the game via facebook, twitter, sms or email.

We do not support native.showPopup() or any plugins, such as the “social” or “facebook” plugin, on WP8.  So, you’ll have to do most of these features yourself in C#.  We have an example on how to communicate between Lua and C# here…

You can send e-mail via our system.openURL() function on WP8.  You can do so via a “mailto:” URL scheme as documented in the link below.  It’s much more limited that what’s available in native.showPopup(), but it’s the only built-in option that we’ve got at the moment.

Also, facebook (the company) does not have an official SDK available for WP8.  However, there is a 3rd party facebook .NET library available for WP8 that facebook (the company) endorses, but it does not provide all of the features available on Android and iOS.  You can find more info below…

Would be great if someone post their experiences in implementing Facbook on Windows Phone with CoronaCards.
