Crossplatform solution for sharing?

GiderosFan

Hey Giderians,

is there an cross platform solution for sharing score with native plugins? iOS / Android?

I searched here but found nothing. Or quick example how can you share score on iOS / android would be very helpful.

Thank you in advanced.

The Facebook plugin is cross platform and has a high score list.

Thank you SinisterSoft, but there is the problem I don't have any Facebook account . I have seen the Facebook plugin but the problem is I don't have any account there and I won't any account on Facebook / Twitter. I search a solution like the Native Sharing where the user can select which app he / she use for sharing. But I think there is nothing on Gideros at the moment or?

SinisterSoft

Why not get a facebook account and use that?

GiderosFan

Because I don't use any of the Zuckerberg products like yet WhatsApp or Facebook. I personally have an antipathy agains Facebook and WhatsApp. I prefer more the security like threema or signal. Thats the reason why I would use an native solution. Some other people that I know use more alternative networks instead of Facebook.

SinisterSoft

Just make up a fake account if you are concerned. Use it just for dev and the scores system.

GiderosFan

That would be an solution if there is no any other solution I must do this.

I'd also like native share for Android. As far as I know there is no native share on iOS yet? I use Twitter on iOS at the moment, but it is about to be removed/deprecated by Apple.

On Android there is a generic share, where you can share to any app installed on the phone. This is not yet supported by Gideros.

Native share would be very nice on booth. On iOS there is also an native share support I have worked with them on Unity too. So the possibility is there but at the moment not for gideros. Maybe in the future cross my fingers

Native share on iOS is depreciated though isn't it?

GiderosFan

Hmm you see in the App Stores more and more they use the native share function in iOS. I personally prefer them more because you can decided which app you can use for share the information and not just the Facebook button and that's it. Most of them have the post on my wall function or invitation function on Facebook deactivated the people I personally know they told me thats so annoying. I personally not an fan of spread the game over Facebook. A good and nice game / idea get 100.000+ downloads plus without Facebook. So a native share function would be a nice step for gideros. I personally must say that's the reason why I use Unity and SpriteKit as my Main Game Kit and just play with gideros the missing information how we can do this

@giderosfan, the first step to a plugin is to find the API to be wrapped. I believe this is the Android version:

Are you able to find an up-to-date API of native share on iOS?
