Are you a developer? Want OGS on a mobile device? (OLD Android and iOS app development thread)

Based on the conversation in the thread linked below, it seems like the devs do not want to release the details of the interface to the general public. An open-source project using that interface would essentially do that though.

How to implement a client capable of playing live games if not by polling?

We have a live game interface… this is how our own client interfaces with the game. However, we aren’t just going to give everyone access to this interface as-is right now. I’d say 99% of api consumers don’t need access to real time move information and we will look at those 1% on a case-by-case basis. So while our rest api is public our real time interface is subject to a more strict approval process.

I am assuming by matburt’s participation in this thread that he is giving tacit approval for this…

I would love to pitch in and help where I could (C++/C#/Java) but I don’t know much about network protocols or HTML5. Also, I probably won’t have bandwidth to help with the project until late September.
