Is there an open source library for announcing new apps via an in-app alert within another app?
iVersion is close to what I am talking about, but not quite, from what I see of it.
Example:
* App-A is purchased by person; in this app I would like to embed a function to alert the person when a new related app is published
* Sometime later, App-B is published – would like the users of App-A to be notified, because the apps are related
And of course, if someone wants to cancel or ignore these alerts, they should disappear and not return on future launches of the app.
Sounds like a classic case for push notifications. Can’t see any advantage to necessarily linking these alerts to application launches or updates – you can just manually send a push notification to all users of app A when app B comes out (unless you launch new applications by the hour).
