Featured Apps


Overview

OpenFeint’s Featured Apps allows you as a developer to promote paid versions or other titles to the player. You can populate the list with applications you’ve created yourself or highlight those of other developers.  Featured Apps appear to the player in the OpenFeint Discovery Page under “Featured Games” and “More Games”.

Setting Up Featured Apps

In order to use Featured Apps, you must first have an iPurchase page set up for each game you would like to feature.

In the developer dashboard, click on “Featured Apps” in the Promotional Tools section, then click “Add New Featured App”.  This will take you to a page where you can either select one of your existing games or enter the Client Application ID if the application you’d like to feature.

How do I find someone's Client Application ID?

You can only get this information directly from the other developer. We encourage developers to contact one another when featuring applications, however to make it easier you can also disclose your application ID publicly so that other developers can feature your game in their lists.

How do I find my own Client Application ID?

Make sure you’re working on the correct game and click on “App Home” in the Developer Dashboard. In the description you’ll see a field called “Client Application ID”.  This is your unique identifier within our system for that application and the number you want to share if another developer would like to feature your game.
