Factors that contribute to Successful API loading

What is an API?

Generally speaking, an application programming interface (API) specifies how some software components should interact with each other.

Why API?

  • An API is a sweet mechanism through  which a developer like you can distribute your app using a Social media platform, like Facebook. A social media represents an excellent distribution path for people building apps. If your app is a game it can post achievements to Facebook. Your app can post about the length of the player's latest run, or it can generate a check-in. Those posts end up in the news feeds of a player's friends, who might be willing to try your app out. The Open Graph is a great way for people to find out about your app or business.
  • Secondly, Social media , like Facebook's social graph makes it possible to build more engaging and sticky apps, since you can add a crucial social context to your app. Friends can be part of the fun.
  • Finally, using a social media login such as Facebook Login lowers the barrier for people to sign into your app and is an identity that works across all devices.
For a Successful Launching of your Mobile App, you need to do the following:

  • Loading and Initialization
  • Debugging
  • Localization
  • Social Plugins
  • Dialogs
  • Social Media Login
  • Graph API
  • Games and Page Tabs
  • Web Apps inside a Webview
Most of these  methods above, though specific to Facebook, applies to most of the Social Media plaforms and SDKs.
