Useful materials for the mobile developer # 51 (April 28-May 4)
There is not much news in the holiday week, but "I have it." Perhaps the main thing this week was Facebook with the F8 conference - the company announced a reduction in prices for Parse, deep links, the Like mobile button and several other interesting innovations.
CleverPumpkin and TM began substantive negotiations in September 2013. In fact, discussions about the creation of the application began in December 2012 on the sidelines of communication between Mofas and Boomburum, which have maintained friendly relations since ancient times. The Habr team had a clear idea of the desire of their users to have mobile applications, but everything rested on the lack of an external API.
If you believe the information The Information (sorry for the pun), Google is going to abandon the release of branded tablets and Nexus phones. It is assumed that from now on the search giant will only certify equipment that meets certain criteria (lack of software patches for the interface, bare android with the ability to quickly upgrade, etc., etc.).
This brings us back to the issue of encryption in iMessage. Apple launched one of the most popular encrypted communication services on the planet: more than 2 billion messages in iMessage every day. Each of them contains personal information that the NSA and the UBN would like to get in their hands. But, in fact, even Apple cannot read them.
Now, an unlimited number of API requests is available for free with a limit of 30 requests / sec, and they will ask for payment only when you need to increase this limit. A simple calculation shows that you can now make 77.76M requests per month - more than 70 times cooler than the old tariff! In addition, now you can send an unlimited number of Push-s to 1 million unique users (devices), and the limits on file storage and database size have increased to 20Gb.
