App Invites Update

Today we rolled out some enhancements and UI fixes to our app invites feature:

Install Callback Url

We have implemented the install callback functionality to app invites with an added query string parameter of install_location=appinvites to help with your tracking.

UI Fixes

The link that was pointing to the application profile now points to the application canvas page – it includes the query string parameter newinstall=1

For more information on app invites please see the following posts:

As always, please hollar if you have any questions, suggestions or bug reports!

Thanks,

Donny

It may be unrelated, but this seems to have broken the install on some applications. See here:

Hi there.

Have you ever thought about creating a MySpace hosted app invite page like Facebook does? It would relieve you from your security concerns because you could track the inviting user and the initiating app yourself. This would be extemly helpful for all developers using the REST API.

The page itself would essentially just need to be a multi-friend picker for the accessing user plus taking in a message string and some app authentication.

cheers,

Elmar

The Callback function in the app invite(requestShareApp)  gets called even when the user clicks on "Cancel" when confirming for the app invite.

I think the callback function should be called only when the user clicks on "send" and the app invite has been sent successfully.

Anyone having similar problems?
