I've been developing with Kotlin for a few months and I have several apps on Google Play. I have a fundamental and critical change I want to get to the Kotlin language development team for consideration. I'm sure this change also requires the language administration involvement as it also goes to the core of user experience with Android phones.
In addition, I have been building a 'Wishlist' or request for changes in how coding is applied in development.
I am usually successful in web searches, but in this case I can't find how to contact Kotlin resources. Am I going to wrong places? Is it in GitHub?

According to my application requirement, I need to integrate the Sagepay ios SDK, but on the Sagepay website, they don't provide any official document or flow also.
I try and get some code in the objective-c mode in here
https://github.com/ColorsSoftwarePvtLtd/SagePay-iOS
Please refer to me any SDK example codes in Swift or already existing links.
That looks like a third party project I reckon that's not an official SagePay supported SDK.
If app integration is extremely important to you, don't use SagePay and instead use modern providers like Stripe/Braintree/Adyen who generally provide SDKs and have better documentation / examples.
The support for mobile payments from SagePay is painful. We asked them for a ApplePay / GooglePay integration back in 2017 and they said then that they "are working on it". We've since gone with a different provider for those types of payments, and we're quite glad we did otherwise we'd still be waiting 2.5 years later.
At the moment for classic card payments we submit payment details to SagePay and then go to a WebView for 3-D Secure, which we've had to manage in our apps. There is unfortunately no nice SDK to use. For iOS there is this https://github.com/brightec/3DSecureView which helps somewhat with that.
HTH.
I want to know if web development can be done using Raku or Perl6?
Like Django for Python, do we have any framework available for Raku?
Id appreciate if you told us which are the libraries available or any tutorial.
Are there any webhosting providers to host Raku web application?
Many folks are using Cro for this. It's a set of libraries that you can pick as needed (and not just for web development), but offers things like:
Routing requests to handlers, and neat ways to express those handlers
WebSocket support integrated neatly into the router
Templating
Testing
There's a simple tutorial as well as a much longer one on making a SPA.
There is also a fresh CRUD server-side tutorial available.
Finally, there's integrated support in the Comma IDE, which includes a Cro project template where you can select the bits you need, indexing of and navigation to routes, and a timeline view that can be used to understand where time is spent during request processing.
There are base images available to support Docker deployment also, to anywhere that supports that.
I built a web framework for Raku called Humming-Bird it's brand new so there are still kinks to work out, but the core works really well! It is intended to be very similar to Sinatra and other frameworks of that style (express.js etc..)
Humming-Bird has most of the typical features of a web framework including but not limited to:
Routing
Middleware
Serving static files
This project is still in fairly early stages, but it offers more than enough to spin up simple web services, and web apps.
I am researching MBaaS (Mobile Backend as a Service) and what its purpose is, for school. So far I gathered that it is basically a resource that developers can use so they can create the back-end code one time, rather than separately for each device - this way the focus can be more on the front-end of the development.
So my initial thoughts would be that this tool can be used only in the creation of Hybrid apps, however I'm having difficulty finding information to back that thought up. So can MBaaS be applied to Native apps also?
If the sense of meaning I've gathered about what MBaaS is used for is wrong, making my original question void or not applicable, a thorough but simple explanation, of what exactly MBaaS does would be very much appreciated.
MBaaS is a service that can be used by all – companies that are big to start ups and solo developers.
Mobile app development remains fun when it is about designing user interfaces, engineering social communication among users or bringing in stickiness. The Backend infrastructure plumbing is too time consuming and less rewarding. Worrying about database scaling, thread locking, persistence, user registration handling, messaging and pushing notifications is not fun. They are necessary evils that have to be taken care of to launch an app. The Baas paradigm has definitely made app development much easier and fun. Hence MBaaS services definitely present a powerful case for quick adoption.
Built.io Backend is an MBaaS provider. It is client platform agnostic. It provides platform-specific SDKs (iOS as well as Android) for native app development, and Xamarin and JavaScript SDKs for hybrid app development.
Coming back to your question. MBaaS can be used to develop native as well as hybrid applications. The services is not limited to a platform or any other technology.
PS: I am employee at built.io
Being said that IBM Mobilefirst is very advanced tool in developing hybrid mobile applications, I am curious to know if we can develop both the mobile application and the responsive mobile application using single code base. I know that there are different environments being provided out of box by Mobilefirst i.e mobile browser, desktopBrowser, Android etc.. I feel it kind of opens an option to developer to develop both mobile and responsive web application. But following questions and functionalities makes me rethink about going forward with this approach for practical implementation.
1) How far will the MobileFirst be reusable and flexible in terms of:
* implementing session management for both applications
* Authentication and Authorisation for both applications:
- When I said Authorisation, I meant user level preferences
2) What are the steps that need to be followed to setup a project which effectively uses the all the key features of the worklight for satisfying the above mentioned requirement.
3) Post development what are the steps that need to be followed to successfully deploy mobile and web application (Both of them will be using adapters to talk to services) into production.
Very sorry for making the question so theoretical. I felt very interesting and wanted to know.
1) How far will the MobileFirst be reusable and flexible in terms of:
* implementing session management for both applications
* Authentication and Authorisation for both applications:
- When I said Authorisation, I meant user level preferences
Depends which version of MFPF you are using.
Pre-7.1, all session management is the same in the server.
7.1 forward the server is session independent and currently Mobile Web and Desktop Browser are not supported; read more about session independent in the IBM Knowledge Center
Authentication works the same for both pretty much
2) What are the steps that need to be followed to setup a project which effectively uses the all the key features of the worklight for satisfying the above mentioned requirement.
There is not feature parity between the supported mobile environment and web environment, so the answer will depend on which particular features you will end up using. The IBM Knowledge Center contains a feature parity table.
3) Post development what are the steps that need to be followed to successfully deploy mobile and web application (Both of them will be using adapters to talk to services) into production.
That's got nothing to do with any of the environment you'll choose to use. It's the same for all. Yet again, read in the IBM Knowledge Center.
We work on a lot of integration projects and a customer has a legacy ecommerce site and have asked us to integrate product information, orders and inventory with another platform.
Does osCommerce have an API that can be used for this, or will we need to build our own web services based wrapper for the dB?
No, not that I know of.
I think you'd need to find one online (never heard of one) or build one yourself.
http://www.bizmovi.com
It seems come with demo site.
API written in PHP for osCommerce, adaptable any client platforms which allow to rapidly mash-up existing osCommerce with iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, WebOS, Symbian, Bada, etc.
