This project consists of an iphone app that can read from three [login to view URL] rss feeds including 'My Spoink Feed' and 'My Friends Spoink Feeds' and 'All Spoinks'. The feeds include text with hyper links, pictures (png, jpg and gif), audio (mp3) and video (flash). Obviously flash is not supported by iphone but the other multimedia files should be shown and links should open in safari. App will use the Spoink api to allow user to post text to the [login to view URL] service and allow user to click a button to launch the iPhone phone and dial a predefined number.
## Deliverables
Bid must include 'graphic design', coding and assisting with the submission process to iTunes.
The App needs to collect username and password and API key and permanently store it locally. The username is used to filter the RSS feeds for 'my spoinks' and 'my friends spoinks'.
The app needs to:
A: Configure user settings labeled "Settings"
Allow the user to update the username, password, API key.
Regularly check for new feed items based upon a user definable schedule. Every 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes or OFF
B: Display three feed buttons across the bottom with a refresh icon to the right:
1. My Spoinks: [login to view URL]
2. My Friends: Spoinks [login to view URL]
3. All Spoinks: [login to view URL]
4. Click an icon to immediately force a refresh of the feeds.
C: Posting a text message to a users timeline using the SPOINK API labeled "Update Your Status":
Since the username, password and api are already saved the form needs to have a text area and a submit button. there shoudl be a character countdown from 500 characters (spoink allows 500 character posts).
If the any of the username, password or api are missing when the user lands on this page then a pop-up requesting the elments should appear for collection with an option to close the window. If closed then return to the main app page.
Send - Posts a public message. Returns its details or an error message in the desired format.
URL: [login to view URL][format].[api_key]
Method: POST
Required parameters:
username (authenticating user's username or ID)
password (authenticating user's password)
message (message content)
Formats: xml, json
D: Initiate a phone call option labeled "Record A Podcast"
I have confirmed the ability of using the 'tel:' option from a mock up apple web app.
something like Record A Podcast
E: have a How-to page describing how to send VIdeo, Pictures and Audio from the phone via email. There is also a vCard that should be inserted into the users contacts or at a minimum the how-to page shodul direct the user to download the vCard fromthe web site.
F: Have an information 'page' pulled from a provided URL (for easy updating by me) can be raw text or xml.
The app should resemble the [login to view URL] web site primary blacks and greys.
Must look professional
A version must be provided for me to test on my iphone with instructions on how to install.
The app should be packaged and assistance provided to submit to iTunes.
I have attached a rss feed format the I like.
