Application Licensing ANE

I have published paid app on Google Play and Samsung Apps, so I have used there licensing services in order to protect the game from illegal copying (DRM).

In order to use these services with my current AIR apps, I have developed by own ANEs.
The source code along with extensions and some usage examples can be found on Github: ANE License Checker

I’m also going to publish the game on SlideME, so will add support of their licensing service later.

Luckily, Amazon and B&N has built-in protection, that is applied when you publish your app, no need to make extensions for them.

Adobe AIR In-app Purchase native extensions

I have spent some time searching for free extensions for all the possible platforms and would like to share my results.
Also, I made my own in-app purchase extension for Android, as I couldn’t find a good and free one.

1. In-app Purchase for Blackberry Playbook.
There is an extension that comes with BlackBerry SDK for Adobe AIR.
API docs: http://developer.blackberry.com/air/apis/playbook/net/rim/blackberry/payment/PaymentSystem.html

2. In-app Purchase for iOS.
In-app purchase extension comes with Adobe Gaming SDK

3. In-app Purchase for Amazon Kindle.
It comes with Amazon SDK: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/in-app-purchasing/documentation/adobe.html

4. In-app Purchase for Android.
I have found two extensions:
First is free extension from Freshplanet, but it is outdated.
Second is from Milkman for $50.
So, I have decide to make my own. 🙂
You can find it here: Adobe AIR In-app Purchase native extension for Android

Hope, it will help someone in their mobile app development.
