Hi Everyone,

With Apple releasing iOS8 they are finally allowing some third party API. I was wondering if anyone knows/created one for GW2’s API.

Thanks!

Wait, what!?

Apple….allowing THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE!?

What sorcery is this!?

I know there are some for Android. World boss timers, crafting stuff and the like. Haven’t heard of anything for Apple though.

This seems…a little confused. iOS8 eases up on some of the things it lets apps do (talk to each other, replace the keyboard, etc.,) but I don’t see how the new developer features, as far as I understand them, open up anything that couldn’t be done already, as far as the GW2 API is concerned.

Apple’s always allowed third party software. That’s what apps (usually) are.

Edit: Indeed, a quick search is turning up apps to help with crafting, world boss events, character builds, etc. I can’t vouch for any of them being good or not, but they’re already available.

True, but Apple is VERY strict on what is and isn’t be allowed in their store and on their devices.

None of the new features, as far as I’m aware, are useful for making a GW2 app. Which is okay, because apparently things like the OP wants already exist.
