Quick questions -

Forgive my ignorance but I just recently got a mac and started working with iOS impact and Xcode.

Is there any way I can play cinematic intro?
How do I implement iAds (or ads of any format)?
Any way to implement swipes?

Edit: Sorry! IOS Impact! No html layer there! (Forget my answer)

You can use HTML for the intro!

<video src="Mymovie.mp4" controls> </video>

With PhoneGap you can use iAds!

Never tried but should work, maybe someone on the forum provides a more accurate response

Yeah I don't think this will work... But thanks anyway... Any way of integrating game centre?

Not directly, as this was covered last time (when I asked, heh) you'll have to bind it in Objective C and create an interface in Obj-C to expose it to JS as a 'native' facility.

Heh any chance you have that solution ready? As I said I'm basically at the very very early stage of getting familiar with ObjC.

Nope, sorry :( I haven't done much other than ask about it and glance over it, but glancing over the iOSImpact files, there is more than one example of a native iOS construct being made available to JavaScript through the native operator - localStorage comes to mind.

I havent looked myself, but would this be relatively easy with appmobi?

Probably. Give it a try.

Well I used appMobi and iOSimpact while you can do much more with appMobi and it's a great solution I prefer "immediateness" of iosimpact and how easy it is to actually make stuff work what takes ages of figuring out in appMobi.

@Arantor .. does the swipe motion interact with entities nicely?

I have no idea, ask the AppMobi people, for various reasons I won't use it.

fair enough ... just struggling with my code knowledge atm :-(

Swipe is looking scary, lol

Nope as far as I am aware you wont be able to do that.
