This is a sample app provided to show developers what Applicasa looks like in action, and help them see a real example of integrating Applicasa into their applications.
Applicasa is a Mobile Game Management Platform that provides developers a series of frameworks and a custom SDK for iOS and Android platforms that provide extensive support for In-App Purchases, Promotions, Analytics, and a customizable backend datastore. You can find out more information at the Applicasa website.
Egg is an imagined game that shows common scenarios and code samples that developers can learn from and emulate in their own applications.
- Custom events for monetization.
- More Ad networks to the monetization section.
- Send delayed push messages
- Bug Fix
Sample app Introduces the variety of Ad networks, All you need to do is:
A. Go to MainViewController to "Raise Custom event method" section.
B. Select the AdNetwork you wish to call.
C. Build & Run, and press on the "Raise Promotions" button
/**
Method to raise custom events.
The "Egg" sample app implemented custom events that will raise the different ad network possible (TrialPay, MMedia, SupersonicAds, SponsorPay Appnext and Chartboost)
To raise different AdNetwork just change the name of the customEvent belos.
use the the following names to raise the different ad network:
1. TrialPay:
A. MainCurrency ------------------->OfferwallMainCurrency
B. SecondaryCurrency -------------->OfferwallSecondaryCurrency
2. Millennial Media ------------------>@"MMedia"
3. SupersonicAds
A. SupersonicAds BrandConnect ----->@"SuperSonicBrand"
B. SupersonicAds offerwall -------->@"SuperSonic"
3. SponsorPay
A. SponsorPay BrandEngage --------->@"SponsorPayBrand"
B. SponsorPay offerwall ----------->@"SponsorPay"
4.Appnext ---------------------------->@"Appnext"
5.Chartboost ------------------------->@"Chartboost"
*note, you should also view implementations of "liKitPromotionsAvailable"

- Easy-to-use promotions that are triggered by events that happen inside your game
As usual, you get started by cloning the project to your local machine:
$ git clone [email protected]:Applicasa/Sample-App-iOS.git
Now that you have cloned the repo, open the project up in Xcode. At this point, you should be able to build and run the project in the iOS Simulator. The project is configured to use the automatic iPhone Developer profile selection inside Xcode. If, for some reason, you experience problems running the app in the simulator, first try checking the Build Settings and selecting your local profile.
Because this is a sandboxed app, you must use a test account to make IAP purchases (for virtual currencies). We have created a test user that can be used with the app as-is. The credentials are:
- username: [email protected]
- password: EggTest1
Egg is currently built to take advantage of the latest iOS features. For that reason, the sample app targets iOS 6+ only, primarily because it uses new UICollectionView features, such as auto layout.
However, the current Applicasa frameworks and SDK target iOS 4+, so don't be worried that you must immediately port your app to iOS 6 to use Applicasa's extensive features. You can still use Egg as a reference for how to implement Applicasa functionality in your game. At some point in the future, Applicasa will continue to move forward, and we'll always let our developers know when this requires moving up in iOS versions.
Promotions can be triggered by events inside your application.
Events that can be triggered inside Egg:
- First-time User
- First-time Virtual Currency Purchase
- First-time Virtual Good Purchase
- Low-balance Promotion
Three types of Promotions can be used in your game:
- Announcements (news updates, new app versions, etc.)
- Deals (special offers on in-app purchases & virtual goods, etc.)
- Rewards (special rewards for completing tasks in the game, etc.)
NOTE: The first time you make a virtual currency purchase inside Egg, you'll see a promotion for downloading another app. This shows how you can use Applicasa to cross-promote other content you have in the App and iTunes Stores. However, please be aware that this functionality does not work on the iOS Simulator. In the simulator, the promotion will quietly dismiss and you can continue using the app. If you're running on a device, however, you'll see that accepting the promo brings you to another app inside the App Store.
All customization of IAP items, Promotions, Virtual Currencies, Virtual Goods, and custom data are handled via the Applicsa web console. Sign up for a private beta account to experience more.
The screenshot below is one of the steps required to create a promotion. Here it's a promo in the form of a deal, offering 20% off on another virtual good. This promo is triggered once the player has made his/her first purchase. Our promotional tool offers many different events that can trigger these kinds of promotions during the game.
Egg is, like any Github project, a constant work-in-progress. This means that you will, if you look, notice there are other branches. We recommend that all developers who are new to Applicasa and just getting their feet wet with the SDK and frameworks stick to the stable branch only. The master branch is our main development branch, and all other branches are feature-specific branches that are currently under development and will be merged into stable when they are tested and ready. You may check out these branches at any time if you want to see other feature work and examples of how to implement those in your game (where applicable), but be aware that we don't support any branches other than stable at this time (for issues and whatnot).
Please feel free to submit issues with any bugs or other unforseen issues you experience. We work diligently to ensure that the stable branch is always bug-free and easy to clone and run from Xcode. If you experience problems, open an issue describing the problem and how to reproduce it, and we'll be sure to take a look at it.
