Brightcove
(NASDAQ: BCOV), a leading global provider of cloud content services, is
bringing HTML5 mobile app development to a higher level of maturity with
a major new release of the Brightcove
App Cloud mobile app platform. By combining a Web-friendly
development model with an easy-to-use plugin model, the new release of
App Cloud provides a dramatic improvement over first generation hybrid
app platforms like Adobe’s PhoneGap.
The new release introduces an open native plugin architecture, includes
built-in integrations with major third-party technologies from Google
and comScore, and dramatically expands App Cloud’s integrated support
for push notifications. By bringing together the native device APIs and
supporting cloud services required to deliver rich, content-centric
applications into a highly productive, fully-supported platform, App
Cloud enables Web developers to build mobile and tablet apps more
quickly and cost-effectively for both iOS and Android platforms.
“If you are building a content-centric app for iOS or Android, App Cloud
offers the most complete platform and the most Web-friendly development
experience,” said Phil Costa, director of product management for App
Cloud at Brightcove. “Toolkits like PhoneGap only get you part of the
way. Publishers and brands now need a complete platform that spans the
entire lifecycle to help them develop, customize, operate, market,
iterate and extend the lifetime of their apps.”
“Switching from PhoneGap to App Cloud to develop cross-platform apps for
our clients has enabled us to decrease our development time by 40
percent,” said Bill Quinn, managing director at Lightmaker,
a leading global digital agency. “App Cloud has made it easy for us to
deliver high quality custom apps to meet a range of client objectives,
while making the development experience much faster. The new native
plugins will give us even more options to expand the capabilities of the
platform and offer broader app functionality to our clients.”
Open Plugin Architecture and Partner Integration
The new App Cloud plugin model makes it easy for developers to extend
the native functionality that is built into App Cloud. Other hybrid app
technologies offer native plugin capabilities, but developers soon find
that the available plugins are frequently out-of-date, largely
unsupported, and more trouble than they are worth. App Cloud developers
can choose from a growing library of fully tested and fully supported
App Cloud plugins, such as a native media uploader, native audio player,
or in-app email composer, as well as plugins that integrate with
third-party cloud services such as Google Analytics or comScore Digital
Analytix.
Adding a pre-built plugin is as simple as copying a directory into their
App Cloud project and including a JavaScript file. Brightcove’s cloud
compilation service then automatically embeds the new functionality in
the customer’s application and produces binaries ready for distribution
through app stores. Developers will also be able to build custom native
plugins of their own using the soon to be released App Cloud plugin
development kit (PDK).
In the future, Brightcove plans to utilize the new native plugin
architecture to introduce new capabilities to App Cloud including native
video players for iOS and Android, DRM-protected video, and in-app
purchases through leading app stores.
New Push Notification APIs
This release also delivers a significant expansion of App Cloud’s
integrated support for push notifications. App Cloud developers can
leverage a new set of client and server APIs to send individual push
notifications to a particular app user or group users into
custom-defined segments. For example, a news application could create
segments focused on topical areas, allowing users to specify their
interest in particular topics, while opting out of others. By targeting
notifications by segment, developers can increase user engagement by
notifying users only when content is relevant to their interests.
As with previous releases, App Cloud automatically manages the
interfaces to the Apple and Android push notification services and
collects real-time analytics on users’ response to push notifications.
And in keeping with App Cloud’s focus on productivity, developers do not
need any native development tools to add push notifications to their
applications.
Availability
App Cloud’s new plugin architecture is now available to all customers,
including users of App Cloud Core, the free open source version. The
native media uploader and in-app email composer are built into version
1.12 of the App Cloud SDK. Additional free plugins, including the native
audio player and Google Analytics plugins, are downloadable from the
open source plugins repository hosted on GitHub. The comScore Digital
Analytix and DRM plugins are currently expected be released later this
year. The new push notification APIs are available immediately to
customers with subscriptions to the App Cloud Pro or Enterprise editions.

We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means.
