Urban Airship or similar services

Solar2D Monetization (in-app purchases, ads, etc.)

Hey, I’m about to start working on my first mobile game, and I’m researching possible APIs.

I like Corona, but I’m curious to know if anyone knows of a way to integrate it with Urban Airship, or if anyone knows of a similar service that will work easier with Corona.

I’m not sure I like the idea of requiring a user to download all game content even if it’s saved for IAPs. Just in the planning stages and it already seems like a “built-in” product model will lead to a pretty bloated download for people who just want to try out the game.

Suggestions? Thanks! [import]uid: 81199 topic_id: 13338 reply_id: 313338[/import]

Sorry, perhaps I should have been more specific.

I’m specifically looking for some kind of hosting for in-app purchases, which is a service provided by Urban Airship. Looking at PubNub, I don’t see an option to serve files to users once a purchase has been made, but I could just be a moron. =D

Also, this song is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZgcEj_qKLU .

Any other suggestions? [import]uid: 81199 topic_id: 13338 reply_id: 48980[/import]

+1 for supporting Urban Airship for IAP content. It may be possible to roll-your-own access via their API but it would be hard work. I would like to complete an app giving access to 6,500 high resolution images via IAP and UA integration would be ideal for that!

+1 for DLC IAP. I contacted Urban Airship and they said they are not developing library for Corona SDK. Guess it’s up to Ansca to make it (or us devs). [import]uid: 39505 topic_id: 13338 reply_id: 51780[/import]

+1 for support for Urban Airship both their Push Notifications API and the In-App purchase and download option [import]uid: 22737 topic_id: 13338 reply_id: 56272[/import]
