Windows Store/Phone plug-ins

Unknown

Hello,
After having some research, I found gideros is definitely a best place to start to port my games (almost done in Adobe Air/Starling) to windows platform or even develop new games with this amazing tool. Lua is familiar to AS3, great lightweight IDE, price, etc,..
I just have a question about the plug-ins for windows store/phone. Does gideros fully support this platform? and we are able to integrate with windows store in-app purchasing, ad networks, social platforms?

Thanks in advance

Hello,
when we added Windows store and Windows phone support to Gideros, we also added plugin mechanism to be able to extend it.
But unfortunately there are not much plugins yet, and definitely no store specific plugins like Inap purchasing.

But anyone who wants can try to write it

Hi. Is there any ads plugin available for Windows Phone yet?

Unfortunately not yet

Thanks for the reply! Can't wait for the ads plugin to be supported in Windows Phone.

One question, How to monetize our free apps in store windows/windowsphone?

Unfortunately, at the moment it is only possible to sell paid apps and perhaps have a free app which advertises the paid app. However, we are now working on adding a XAML layer to Windows Phone apps so we can have ad plugins and IAP. Sorry for the delay on this, it's harder than we expected to be honest. But in the meantime you can test your apps on Windows Phone/store and hopefully we will have the ads ready to go shortly.

Hi.
Any progress on this?
I'd love to port my apps to windows phone but I'd like to be able to monetize them with ads.

we have a concept with the ad shown through AdsInterface working, but lately I did not have enough time on finishing it to fully support AdsInterface behavior

Hello guys, any progress on this (Ads Interface)?

Unfortunately had not much time since new year (flu season here, everyone in the family getting sick in round robin pattern )
And the fact that it is c++/cx does not help much either, but we will get there eventually

Hi guys,

Is it still better to publish to WP as premium?

Google's not great when looking for the latest Gideros Forum posts.

Yes, that is teh right place to look. We recently added support for pubcenter adverts in Windows Phone. It should work now just don't pop up the advert in your main code area, rather pop it up within a listener. See the complete example I gave in the above link. You need to select the correct plugin when exporting as a Visual Studio project. And you need to register/pay Microsoft to see the test advert.
