Compass & Accelerometer Tilt Compensation example
Hi there,
I am building an app that uses the compass to display directions in 3D space. The problem I have is that the bearings change when the device is tilted forwards and backwards making the direction useless. I have read many articles that say you can compensate for this by using the accelerometer and passing all the data through a rotation matrix but I can't find any actual examples for me to get my head around. Would anybody be able to give me a simple example of how I can achieve this? Thank you very much for your help.

Gyroscope
We know there have been a few issues with the Gyroscope that we've been communicating with different people about at various points.
We're currently testing a new version and want to make sure we've addressed everyone's issues, so could you please add a comment to this post describing the issue you've experienced (or a link to where we discussed it), with as much information about the environment as you can.
We appreciate your patience on this one!

in app purchase validation
I am using the In App Purchase ANE with iOS. I would like to do server side validation of the purchase. I've looked at the InAppBillingEvent in the PURCHASE_SUCCESS event. But what specifically is the data I need to send as the receipt data? It looks like the transactionReceipt has a purchase-info field that appears to be a base64 encoded receipt, but that doesn't work.
2 votesHi,
Yes you should be using the transactionReceipt on your server. Use it all not just one of the fields. Have a look into the apple documentation on verifying transactions.
Cheers,

Custom icons for LocalNotification
When using a local notification, I want to be able to use custom icons. So the icons can reflect the content of the message. Like in the Gmail App on Android, When I receive a notification for a new mail, the avatar of the sender is used as Icon.
7 votesCustom icons are now available as part of the push and local notification ANEs

Android .obb support (for apps > 50 MB)
Android supports the uploading of two .obb files (two archives). The archives are extractable directly by AIR but low powered devices crash (my experience here http://www.noriste.com/bticino-wiring-devices-a-starling-based-customisable-catalogue/#the-infamous-android-obb-file)
so an ANE could be very useful so the user see directly in the google play that the app is (for example) 200MB heavy, he downloads it and no waiting is required when it opens the app, far and far better than a long download wait on the app opening.
At the time I'm writing two others extensions exist that do the same but one is free but not so documented, one is…
