[aerogear-dev] Android - server endpoint

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Got it... the iOS bits are here:

Interesting... in the demo code I still saw the 'game' is using
another iOS lib, from Google:
http://code.google.com/p/gtm-http-fetcher/

I think I need to take a look at the generated .h and .m files for iOS...

Anyway, the approach is very interesting, but it's more app specific.
It generates APIs for the particular apps, for different platforms.
Yay!

Under the cover these 'generated APIs' use some sort of (minimal) http
client library, which is - again - specific for its native platform.

For #aerogear, the initial task is coming up with the actual client
libs, for JS, iOS and Android,

Once that is somewhat done, I think it would be cool to see if the
TODO app would be build with something like this,
But... right now, I think that's a bit out of scope..

The idea is that you create your endpoint - a REST service, annotate it with some annotations and then use tooling to generate client library for your REST service.
