Just wanted to showcase a little app I did with C2.

It's basically a news aggregator with several popular news sources, including some for games.

You can get it on the Google Play Store

It was actually quite easy to do using the ajax plug to connect to an excellent api. I developed it in just about a week.

In fact I think using C2 for apps is quite plausible, and am thinking of doing a few more, as I rather like making graphical user interfaces.

The only issues are every thing has to be done from scratch. There's no built in methods to create the many interface features like menu scroll, swiping etc.

I just pushed the android release last night, and haven't had much input on it, so please give it a try, and tell me what you think.

Honestly I'm not terribly happy with what we have so far, but it's not far off what I expected from the info we have received so far.

You do have to take into account that it's more than just a rewrite, there's a lot of stuff that is most likely custom built.

I say likely as I wasn't as privy to the creation process as I'm used too, which is actually off putting, and it feels like Im playing in someone else's sandbox.

That with the lack of features that were hinted at make my corner have a funny smell.

They have my support as always, but there's a lot of things that need to be addressed.

Pretty sure the Facebook object is broke.

Even in C3.

Well it's not like they are paying you to test it.

Then again, at some point you have to pay to use it.

Kinda feels like deja vu actually.

This one seems to work ok with the iframe plugs, and they don't seem to care where it's hosted.

Just spent the better part of the weekend trying to get the open source cranberry admob plugs to work.

Not only is the phonegap plug no longer in the registry, it also fails to build when added manually.

Speaking of manually, that means the manual, the official documentation is no longer viable, and just a waste of paying customers time.

Also the other open source cranberry plug does exist in the registry, and does build, but it does not work.

As a side note, trying to remove plugs from the Xdk usually gets "Uh oh! Path must be a string. Received undefined", and does not remove anything.

So long Xdk.

According to the blogs its planned.

It is the main reason I would be interested in what they have offered thus far.

If they can't provide much better ways to monetize then there's little value to the subscription model.

Seriously though, the current state of things is just a big joke, especially with the Xdk going away(which never functioned well to begin with), and the outdated documentation.
