ShareKit – must have iOS app share library

sharekitFor any kind of web or iOS application, marketing is very important for success. If people don’t know about your product then how will you get users. So you should be aware that if some people know about your product they can share that with their friends.

Facebook, twitter are very popular social network. So in your application you should integrate this feature that if people like your app they could share that in facebook or twitter.

If you search you’ll find facebook library or twitter library to integrate in your iOS application. But I found a very useful and open source iOS library developed in objective C named ShareKit, that has all of these popular services integrated. And its very easy to add this library in your iOS application and use. And their documentation is super easy to understand.

I integrated this library in one of my iOS application named Translator Free . Why I integrated this? Because users can share translated status in facebook or twitter or email their friend.

If you develop game or application and wants your app/game users could share your app, you should use ShareKit. It will help you and save your time.

Translator Few days ago, Apple approved my latest iOS App that is Translator Free. I developed this app very user friendly with gorgeous interface.

This application translates more than 50 languages including Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish and Vietnamese.

I used Objective C, C, C++ and basic html/css to program this app using Mac’s XCode IDE. And my partner designed the UI. This application is powered by Google Translate API.  Hope this application will help you and if you like it, give it a review in iTunes Store.

How to develop facebook application for iphone

iphoneSomeday ago Facebook updated their old SDK for iphone and release a new SDK named IOS Library. This open source iOS library allows you to integrate Facebook into your iOS application include iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Now its really very easy to implement facebook features in your iOS applications.

Why we should implement Facebook in iOS application:

  1. According to techcrunch Facebook Mobile Hits 100 Million Users, Growing Faster Than On Desktops. So you  can think there are lots of users are now using facebook from iOS base devices.
  2. According to AppleInsider iPhone sales predicted to top 80 million by 2012
  3. So people are using iPhone/iPod/iPad more now a days. And the number is growing both for facebook and iOS.
  4. Why not consider to include facebook users  in your iOS application so that your application looks more social.

A typical scenario of facebook features in iOS application:

Suppose you develop a game for iOS. You’ve a online leaderboard system for that game. Now people can compare themselves in the game based on leaderboard. But there might be many fake profile in the leaderboard, because you’re not aware of who’s playing the game. Though facebook has many fake account, but normally a user has real friends in facebook. So you can bring facebook user’s real friends in your application, so that the user feel more proud when he will be in a higher rank among his facebook friends.

Memory Game Advance

After 8 days, Apple reviewed and approved my second iPhone game developed using Cocos2d framework.  In this game you’ve to match a pair of objects as quickly as possible. Objects are randomly placed so its a bit difficult but interesting. There is also a ranking system based on time and number of clicks. So play this game and have fun.

So what is cocos2d ?

cocos2d for iPhone is a framework for building 2D games, demos, and other graphical/interactive applications. It is based on the cocos2d design: it uses the same concepts, but instead of using python it uses objective-c language. It also used Open GL ES to render game screen.
