The greatest gain in using blockchain technology in building mobile application is its enhanced security features.

It’s cryptography techniques are advanced, making it safe and secure when handling transactions using your phone.

Basically, blockchain is made up of interconnected blocks with all the information about a particular transaction. These blocks also provide timestamps to other blocks.

What makes it difficult to alter any block is that all the data is encoded and saved using a cryptographic hash. Security in mobile application is also increased using high-level encryption and cryptography, benefiting both the mobile developer and the client seeking mobile development.

Developers can now spend less time on security and more time building apps.

2. Highly Reliable

Besides enhancing the security of mobile apps, blockchain also enhances the reliability of mobile applications. Blockchain has a reliable infrastructure, that is why many companies are benefiting from it.

Copies of data are replicated across multiple devices in different locations thanks to blockchain nodes distributed worldwide.

Chances of blockchain crashing are minimal due to its decentralization. Data and blocks are processed in different locations, making it reliable.

3. Increased Transparency

Since all blockchain records all transactions in public ledger, it makes it easier for anyone to track transactions wherever and however they want.

This makes it quite transparent, and users don’t need to worry about fraudulent transactions and scams. The whole system is incorruptible and fully scalable.

This means that mobile apps that use blockchain technology can easily increase the number of users to meet their requirements.

4. Things are Kept Simple with Blockchain

Developing and maintaining apps that use blockchain technology is complex and time-consuming. Although developing a new blockchain is an uphill task, the implementation part of it is quite simple.

Mobile app developers have work cut out for them, since building a mobile-based blockchain app is easy. The cost of development and app maintenance since everything is catered to from the word go.

Entrepreneurs will have an easy time developing feature-filled apps using blockchain technology.

5. Enterprise-level Mobile Apps

The tools are resources used to build blockchain are available. Therefore developers can easily access them and start developing apps quickly. Since the technology is open source, developers can contribute to making blockchain even better to improve its implementation.

Enterprises can benefit from this by giving directives on how they want their enterprise-level apps developed to suit their needs. In the future, blockchain technology will be used by government institutions and enterprises to store data that can’t be manipulated.

Since this data is viewed anywhere and anytime with anyone, it will make the information transparent and reliable.

6. Importance of decentralized ledger system

Blockchain is powered by a network of computers that are decentralized, which is the ledger system. Data is synced and parsed collaboratively using these computers.

When change is made, it reflects all the computers holding the ledger. The system can decide to keep or neglect the change or changes depending on the nature of the change.

The distributed network of computers is used as servers for clients. The client is a mobile application in this case. The entire system becomes better when developers get more storage and enhanced data streaming.

Conclusion

Companies and businesses are looking to do ways to improve their transactions in terms of security, convenience, and reliability. That has prompted them to seek blockchain solutions because it provides all these features.

The technology has substantially improved and is now incorporated into mobile app development. There are numerous companies using blockchain in their apps, including Facebook, Coinbase, and Block. One. This is meant to make transactions fast and secure for both clients and these companies.

The beauty of using blockchain is that anyone can access information anytime, anywhere, using any device, making mobile apps built-in blockchain technology convenient.

  • Include facebook.php in your PHP file.
  • If you’re currently using the PHP SDK (v2.2.x) for authentication, you will recall that the login code looked like this:
include_once("facebook.php"); OR include_once("base_facebook.php");
$facebook = new Facebook(…);
$session = $facebook->getSession();
if ($session) {
// proceed knowing you have a valid user session
} else {
// proceed knowing you require user login and/or authentication
}
  • The login code is now:
include_once("facebook.php");
$facebook = new Facebook(…);
$user = $facebook->getUser();
if ($user) {
// proceed knowing you have a logged in user who's authenticated
} else {
// proceed knowing you require user login and/or authentication

Facebook’s Free Call Service For US iPhone Users

Posted on by Jay

Facebook recently announced that iPhone users could enjoy free calls in the US over Wi-Fi Messenger for iPhone. This new feature facilitates people from the United States that allow them to use the Facebook Messenger app to place voice calls with friends using their internet connection or Wi-Fi.

The feature comes as a “Free Call” button in the existing app and the users don’t have to update to take advantage of this feature.

A lot of users quoted “Free call feature is incredibly simple and useful”. But the app also requires the receiver to have Facebook’s stand-alone app installed on their phone.

If the app couldn’t sync with the receiver, the “Free Call” icon appears grey and marked out. The call features look and feel similar to conventional voice calls.

Besides the United States, Facebook has mentioned that they have started testing VoIP functionality in Canada.

Facebook Integration in Rails3 using ‘omniauth’ gem

Posted on by Jay

feature11. Create a Facebook Application by using your ‘Facebook Developer account’
2. Get the ‘App ID’ and ‘App Secret’ of your created application

Add following gems to your Gemfile

  • gem ‘omniauth’
  • gem ‘omniauth-facebook’

Run ‘bundle install’

Create a middleware file named ‘omniauth.rb’ in ‘config/initializers’ path

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :facebook, ENV['FACEBOOK_KEY'], ENV['FACEBOOK_SECRET'],
{:scope ≥ 'email, read_stream, read_friendlists, friends_likes, friends_status, offline_access, publish_stream'}
end

This will hold the facebook_app_key and facebook_secret_key with permissions

Set your custom callback url in routes

match '/auth/:provider/callback', :to ≥ 'sessions#create' match '/auth/failure', :to ≥ 'sessions#failure'

Write the following codes in the Sessions Controller

def create
auth_hash = request.env['omniauth.auth'] # Got The precise information from facebook
if  !auth_hash.nil?
@user = User.find_or_create_from_auth_hash(auth_hash)
self.current_user = @user
redirect_to '/'
end
end
def failure
flash[:notice] = "Sorry, but you didn't allow access to our app!"
redirect_to '/'
end

Write the following code in your view page. You can use a custom image for the Facebook like ‘facebook.png’.

<%=link_to image_tag('/images/facebook.png'),
"/auth/facebook" %>
