I assume I cannot use any outside SDK with this right? I had someone ask me today if I can code for the Larar SDK in my app. It’s found at layar.com. It Is some sort of reader through the camera and when it recognizes something it overlays with other images, video, sound, etc.

Usually when people refer to their SDK in this context, they usually have an iOS and/or and Android SDK. These can only be used by Corona Enterprise as they are native object based.
Now SDK is a generic term. And it’s possible a service could build a Lua based SDK that you could use with Starter, Basic or Pro. There are SDK’s that are all based around networking API calls, which any Corona based app could use.
Now I did a quick lookup of layer.com and they are in the first category. They have iOS and Android SDK which means you would need Enterprise to use it. They do indicate that a web based version is coming. Corona Starter, Basic and Pro could use that.
Thanks. So if I have the Enterprise version to use it, I can access the Layar SDK along with all of the controls, methods and properties to use in Corona just like I would with widgets or anything else? Do you still program like you do in the Pro version with an SDK where I use LUA?
Appreciate it!
I don’t have a lot of experience with Enterprise, but the idea is you do a bulk of your app in Lua using Corona SDK calls and then any SDK’s like this, you can build binding between the object call and Lua so they talk to each other (basically you make it into a plugin). The big difference is you don’t build your app in Corona SDK, you would use Xcode or Ant and build a native app that calls all of your Corona bits.
