iOS Support?

There is no iOS SDK but is there any way to make use of the API in an iOS app? Thanks.

Hi Patrick, Currently there is no way you can use Mobile Associates API in iOS.

I am thinking that as a business proposition you guys are trying to use this API to move products towards your store, but I don't think it would violate the TOS for iOS (though they might whine) so are there any plans to support this. A lot of developers do both platforms and it would be pretty useful.

Is there ever going to be an official reason why Android has support but iOS does not? If it is because an Objective C team doesn't exist for the Product Team's API development, it seems kind of silly not to allow iOS Developers to just create a server-side solution as a proxy to the Product API. Is there some unspoken beef between Apple and Amazon that has dragged the developers by association? I'm not trying to be snotty here, I've just exhausted Google searches off and on for about a year and half and haven't found any definitive answer as to why Android seems to be the platform given an open door policy =] Message was edited by: infolock Message was edited by: infolock

Hi Sujoy, Is there any chance that the MAA API for iOS may be available soon? I applied for the Beta program but my app is not currently on the Amazon App Store so I could not be accepted into the program. But I am hoping that maybe the program will actually be available to iOS developers soon? When it is available, will having an Amazon app be a pre-requisite? Thanks!!

Hi Momoflow, Officially I can not comment on future products or services, which this falls under.

I am sorry that I can not give you relevant information at this moment what you needed.
