Oh yes. We’ve partnered with Quark: a leading provider of publishing software. Together with TapLynx, Quark users can now easily publish their newsfeed content into custom TapLynx-built iPhone/iPod apps.

We’re really excited about this announcement- we’ve been working on this integration for a few months now and Quark has been a fantastic partner in the process. We’re looking forward to helping define the future of digital publishing!

UT Federal Credit Union: TapLynx App Spotlight

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

This app aggregates information from the UT Federal Credit Union website. They’ve integrated Twitter feeds and videos, but the coolest part about this app is the custom functionality that the developer included.

As you know, the TapLynx framework can be expanded to your liking using custom view controllers. What the UTFCU app lets you do is view branch location information, dial important banking numbers, and login to the UTFCU mobile banking site.

The developer, Brandon Ballentine, also posted about his experience using the framework: TapLynx – A Brief Review. As Brandon has demonstrated, using TapLynx can be a means to supplement your own dev work and save time creating apps.

TapLynx 1.3.3: fixes bug running on iOS 4.0

Friday, June 18th, 2010

TapLynx 1.3.3 has been released! This version fixes one important bug: when running an app on iOS 4.0, the back button might not appear in article views.

Download it here.

We recommend updating your apps right away so that they work fine when iOS 4 is released (coming soon).

Important note about SDKs

You should still build your TapLynx app using the 3.1 or 3.2 SDK. Don’t build using the iOS 4 SDK yet. Because TapLynx uses third-party libraries for ads and push notifications, we have to get updated versions of those libraries for you before you can build using the iOS 4 SDK. We’re on the case.

For device builds, target iOS 3.0, so your app runs on 3.0 and up (including 4.0).

For simulator builds, target 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 (because of a bug in the simulator when targetting 3.0).

If you have questions, or run into trouble doing the build, please ask on the TapLynx Google Group.

TapLynx App Spotlight: UIC Universidad Intercontinental

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

A new app came out this past week built off of the TapLynx framework. It serves as a communication channel for universities in Mexico (so the content is in Spanish). It provides information about events, university news, and institutional information, and it also includes videos and a gallery.
