Begin providing life-cycle event!

In mixi platform, life-cycle event which most developers want has been provided.

If a mixi user install or un-install some application, the thing will be notified to an external server which the developer has. The life-cycle event was implemented on Hi5, and it was taken at the OpenSocial 0.8.

As event types, “addapp” and “removeapp” have been supported on mixi platform. For these, developers can know the situation about installing and un-installing for his/her application. Therefore, developers can do the following things:

Enable to know the usage situation of users.
Enable to clean the obsolete information.

Also, developers can receive the information “who did invite the user?” on the event.addapp type. In most applications, developers store the user list to be selected at the invitation and the user who invited in the database, and give the incentive to the user by the application.

However, developers really could not know “who did invite the user?”. For example, if the user was invited from 2 users for the same application, developers could not judge which is the user who invited you.

In the event.addapp case, if a mixi_invite_from parameter is included, developers can know that the user ID who invited. By this parameter, developers can speficy the user who should give some incentive correctly.

For reducing a load on mixi servers and developer’s servers, requests will be bound as one request. Therefore, please notice that developers can not receive the notification at the real-time.

Life-cycle event is supported for both devices of PC and Mobile. Using this function, I look forward to more great applications developed and published!
