Validating Receipts With the App Store

// Load the receipt from the app bundle.
NSURL *receiptURL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL];
NSData *receipt = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:receiptURL];
if (!receipt) { /* No local receipt -- handle the error. */ }

/* ... Send the receipt data to your server ... */

For an application purchased from the App Store, use this application bundle property to locate the receipt. This property makes no guarantee about whether there is a file at the URL—only that if a receipt is present, that is its location.

  • Quantity
  • Product Identifier
  • Transaction Identifier
  • Original Transaction Identifier
  • Purchase Date
  • Original Purchase Date
  • Subscription Expiration Date
  • Cancellation Date
  • App Item ID
  • External Version Identifier
  • Web Order Line Item ID

A helper class for verifying App Store receipts under iOS.

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!

The End of the Apps as we now them

The experience of our primary mobile screen being a bank of app icons that lead to independent destinations is dying. And that changes what we need to design and build. The idea of having a screen full of icons, representing independent apps, that need to be opened to experience them, is making less and less sense. The idea that these apps sit in the background, pushing content into a central experience, is making more and more sense. That central experience may be something that looks like a notification centre today, or something similar to Google Now, or something entirely new. Intercom.io

Alpha Apps vs. App Unbundling

Aktuell wird viel über das Modell der "Alpha Apps" und "App Unbundling" gesprochen. Hier kurz eine Übersicht und meine 5 cents: Alpha Apps Die chinesische App WeChat geht noch weiter: Neben einem Messenger, vergleichbar mit WhatsApp, bietet sie einen Lieferdienst à la Lieferando, die Möglichkeit etwa das eigene Konto zu checken (wie sonst bei der Bank-App) und gleichzeitig die Chance etwa Promis zu folgen, wie es Twitter bietet. Solche Alpha-Apps können dadurch verschiedene Aspekte und Möglichkeiten des Internets verbinden und werden so zum idealen Zugangsportal zum Netz – so wie traditionell der Browser am Computer. Den Tod des Browsers bedeutet das aber noch lange nicht. Der Browser ist tot, es lebe der Browser! Wirtschafts Woche App Unbundling Unbundling steht für das Unterteilen von Apps oder verschiedener Funktionen in mehrere, eigenständige Applikationen. Aber nicht jede Unbundling Aktion wird positiv von Usern aufgenommen. Facebook Messenger ...

Android with Kotlin, iOS with Swift, Kotlin Native, flutter.io, React Native, PWA, Xamarin, Hybrid - which way to go?

Currently there are tons of frameworks how to get your business model to the user... and in the app store Full Native Android with Kotlin, iOS with Swift Deepest integration Single way to make sure that you have no lock-in effect with a framework, and you are f**ed, when Apple or Google disallows the usage of a specific technology... Two teams required 2x code PWA (Progressive Web App) Write offline- and push-capable PWA with web-technologies only Some native features might require hybrid native development and bridging (like In-App purchases, AR, ...) In best case: One web team only for website and app Maybe some native specialists for special features Kotlin Native Develop a shared framework with or without UI using Kotlin Native Additional native code will most probably be required Big Android team, small iOS specialists flutter.io (React Native | Xamarin | ... ) One codebase (flutter: Dart, React Native: JavaScript, Xamarin: C#) Additional native code ...

iOS In-App Browser JavaScript injections to spy on user behaviour on 3rd party websites

 iOS Privacy: Instagram and Facebook can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser The iOS Instagram and Facebook app render all third party links and ads within their app using a custom in-app browser. This causes various risks for the user, with the host app being able to track every single interaction with external websites, from all form inputs like passwords and addresses, to every single tap.
