I wrote a Google Hangout app that allows me to track basic information of the hangout, mostly whether or not it is still alive.
The first user starts the hangout (which also loads my hangout app), I pull the hangoutURL, and share it with another user who then joins the hangout as well.
The problem is that the app dies when that first user leaves the hangout, and I can no longer track the hangout.
Is there a way for the app to be loaded for each participant so that it isn't tied to that first user? I was thinking one solution would be that you could include the gid in the hangoutURL somehow for the second user, but couldn't find documentation on that.
You're spot on with your potential solution. You can add the gid parameter (along with the gd parameter, if you wish) to the URL for the hangout video chat, the same way you use the gid and gd parameters on the raw URL to bootstrap the hangout video chat.

I want to setup a "Hangouts"-button on my website in a way that my end-users have to click on a button, a sales person is being notified and will start a hangout call and shares the link of that call (via a chat, preferably). So end user can join that hangout call provided via the link without any google account and by just entering his/her name.
I have setup Hangouts on my site via https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button and my application via https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/getting-started but still I didn't find a programmatic way to do this. IMBK I think there is no document available either officially.
I'm trying to resolve an issue regarding Google+ and authorizing users for an app using Google OAuth-2. More specifically, I find the authorization is successful when the user presses Accept on the consent screen; using the oauth playground and the auth/games scope, that looks like: http://retrofist.com/temp/Auth_01.png
However, if I then check my app privileges at plus.google.com/apps, I see the playground listed as visible to 'Only You': http://retrofist.com/temp/Auth_02.png - even though 'Anyone on the web' was selected on the consent screen. As I'm using Google Play Games for leaderboards, the result is that no one can see any leaderboard entries until they have manually corrected this to 'Public' visibility.
Can anyone explain a reason or workaround for this? Many thanks.
I observed similar issues, my scores was not published publicly to the leaderboard of the game. I then realized that, this is only for users whose email is defined as tester email. I could see the scores as publicly posted after deleting those emails from tester list.
i am developing an app on which i want, end user can access my youtube-playlist(and videos among them). i have the full access of the youtube channel, just want the users to access them. I am using objective c client library for youtube v3.
what i have done:
auth 2 authentication for end user
api call to youtube server using my client id and secret.
Currently i am getting Like, upload, watch history etc. of my channel from another user(end user) but only the id, not any link of video of related playlist.
When i login using my credential of youtube on my app i get all the video links, but when i login using another youtube id then i don't get the video links. can not figure it out why this is happening.
Basically i just want some suggestion or direction on the following:
is it possible to share my youtube-playlist to others(end user)?
if possible then can the user can access the videos of the channel? if so how?
Thank you.
I was misunderstanding the concept. Any playlist/video that is publically visible on youtube, then just the ID for corresponding playlist/video is needed.
One has to make the query request to youtube server based on the ID of the resource he want to fetch.
Basically my Client ID and Secret are using on my app to get the details use of the app, meaning how much api is calling(you can get it on the console of your project).
I would like my server-side code to upload tracks to soundcloud in its own name, then later it will retrieve comments, favourites and listener counts. I do not want to do this on behalf of an app user - for there is no app! Previous questions here on stackoverflow§ (there is no "me too" button) and the API docs seem to suggest I cannot do this. Am I correct?
§ Can track belong to the application and not individual users?
This is called "Authenticating without the SoundCloud Connect Screen" in the API docs:
http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/guide#user-credentials
An "app" in this case is a program that wants to access the Soundcloud API. You register them here:
http://soundcloud.com/you/apps/
Normally you would make a unique username, and register the app to that user. Then, the code logs in as that user to authenticate.
I want to make an application that has some views for information display. If I install my app on my iPhone then it should display the info. If I then install that app on my iPad then the app should recognize the device and display the info related to my account.
Is there any way to find the single user of two devices without the user's iTunes credentials, or is it possible to generate a key that can identify the common user of both devices?
No, currently there is no way to associate multiple devices to a single user owning those devices given the information you've provided.
However, if you added, "the information I want to display in the views, pertains to the same user account in Game Center for both devices", then you could use the player's identifier from Game Kit API.
https://developer.apple.com/game-center/
This is being added well after the fact, but:
You could use iCloud APIs to accomplish this. These are distinct from iTunes credentials, but obviously the same type of prerequisite in that the user must have an account and it's not under your control.
