If i would be doing something like Draw Something,Zynga Poker etc,what are the application protocol considerations and choices should i make?Are apps like that building on http,which means the apps itself is essentially a web browser, or they are using a custom application protocol.
They are most likely using HTTP. All the mobile app clients connect to a central server which tracks what games are being played and the various pieces of information about that game. Custom protocols are more common when it comes to Peer-2-Peer applications but due to the number of firewalls and NATs out there and the lack of understanding on how to alter their firewall settings very few applications are written this way anymore.
