What is the time frame to release the IFrame app support bundle for OpenSocial, such as invite/shareApp ?

Invite!

This post leaves a few questions unanswered:

1) There is a mix of terminology. Is this announcing "Notifications" or "Invites" or both? I would think these are two completely different things. Invites bring new users to your app. Notifications bring existing users to your app.

2) If the user already has the application, can ACC be used to communicate with them? For example, when it is their turn to play a game, can the opposing user send them a notification?

3) What is the discovery mechanism for end-users to go and check notifications? Will something appear on the home page telling them? Will they get an email like they do when they receive a message?

4) Will anything change about the existing PostTo types?

Thomas, I think what they mean is that there's already that existing PostTo form you can embed using an IFrame. Nothing new there other than a new type to put in the request string.

Chris,

This is absolutely the best news I've heard in a long time. Thank you so much for giving us a heads up about official OpenSocial support for our iframe apps. Finally being able to leverage the javascript messaging API will finally give our external iframe apps a way to be viral. Again, this is *really*really* great news.

The requestShareApp target is part of OpenSocial and supported thru our PostTo targets. To that end external apps will be able to use it via the IFrame app support bundle for OpenSocial (release very soon). REST calls to this, on the other hand, still have significant security and SPAM concerns, so we won't be releasing REST calls to share app in the immediate future.

Agreed. Support for external apps is critical if we want to successfully launch on this platform.

I second Thomas' comment regarding REST support!

Will this be available via the REST api as well as Javascript? We still have no way to communicate with users over the REST api.
