LiveCode Forums.

So I understand that LCB can interface with C and C handlers can be written to interface with native SDKs. So is there a cookie cutter solution to getting something like the Facebook iOS SDK to interface with LiveCode?

I don't want to learn why or how it works, I just want to know where I create the file, what i name it, how I create the handler that links the two languages and how to repeat and deploy. Like "Building iOS SDK interfaces using LCB for dummies" is what I'm looking for.

Is there any resources out there like this? If not, is one of the gurus available for a quick coaching session or an example? I am willing to pay for your time.

It is really important to me because I am hoping to pass on the knoweldge to teach Digital Pomegranate (60 or so liveCoders) then give a compiled version to Todd F so that he can hopefully put it into a training. Also, this feature unlocks EVERY SDK ON THE INTERNET. Which is a little bit cool and adds a just another notch under LiveCode's belt...

Thank you for your help.

I took the liberty of deleting the duplicate thread so folks don't have to guess where to find replies.

As for the FB lib, Andre made one some time ago that may be worth checking out:

Thanks for doing that Richard.

Yeah, Andre just happened to use the HTTP requests rather than the SDK itself which offers a wide range of functionality beyond the HTTP. Andres facebook stack is very useful for understanding how to integrate HTTP APIs. And now we are trying to kick it up a notch with SDKs and widgets.

It seems like this thread is pretty dead, in both categories Richard, is there someone do you think that I should PM about this? It doesn't seem very hard to do with widgets. It would just take me 10x faster if someone who has done a widget integration before can share with me the basics. (There is money in it for anyone that does!!)

If you're offering a bounty for a Widget implementation of FB's API I'd post it to the use-livecode list or the Jobs section of the LinkedIn group:
