iMessage Stickers?

Hello there,

We’re launching our first iOS game next month and I would like to add some iMessage Sticker, because this will increase the chance of getting featured aswell.

There is a topic from 2016 which says that you have to use Corona Enterprise.

We build our game in Corona SDK and we don’t have any experience with Corona Enterprise… It looks like a lot of work just to add the Sticker, which should be an easy task…

Is there another solution for this?

Cheers,

Pat

Apple makes standalone sticker pack apps uber simple. But to integrate it with another app involves adding an app extension to your existing app, and this can’t be done with simulator builds. You would have to use Xcode to build your app and tie things together.

Native builds are not that difficult but I don’t know enough to tell you how to tie in the app extension into an existing Xcode based Corona project.

Okay thank you Rob! Any vhance that you will add this to the Simulator in the future? Just Like the new app icons and splashscreens, that would be great! Cheers, Patrick

Changes to the UILaunch Images and Icons are fortunately just drop in files to the project. Stickers have requirements to be bound to the code side of the project which would require some work to do. You can probably do this on your own using Corona Native and Xcode builds. It’s possible you could convince a community developer to produce a plugin for it. It’s not high on our priority list.
