  • Vserv.mobi launches revolutionary AppWrapper.org

    Vserv.mobi launches revolutionary AppWrapper.org

    MUMBAI: Vserv.mobi, an award winning mobile advertising exchange across emerging markets, has announced the launch of AppWrapper.org, an innovative platform for Android app developers that automates the integration of multiple software development kits (SDKs) without any coding effort. The new AppWrapper is designed to enable crucial app development lifecycle services, such as ad monetisation, analytics, bug tracking and in-app purchases, in just one click, allowing app developers to significantly accelerate their time-to-market. 

     

    The new AppWrapper has been optimised for the Android platform given its status as one of the most widely accepted and used OS platforms. According to the latest mobile device report from IDC, Android dominates the market share in global smartphone shipments at more than 80 per cent. Estimates by IDC suggest that Android smartphone shipments grew by 51.3 per cent between Q3 2012 and Q3 2013. 

     

    “The new AppWrapper.org platform is based on the business insight that developers are integrating multiple SDKs into their apps, which often takes valuable time and effort that could have been spent improving the core functionality of the app instead,” said Vserv.mobi director – Global Marketing and Product Binay Tiwari. “AppWrapper.org aims to resolve this situation by offering developers a powerful platform to rapidly integrate multiple SDKs without any coding effort. While the original AppWrapper only enabled the Vserv.mobi ad SDK, with the launch of the new platform, we’re leveraging our patent-pending technology to help developers integrate multiple partner SDKs, with the same innovative one click approach.”

     

    Since its initial launch three years ago, AppWrapper has won many awards, including MMA Smarties, mBillionth, Red Herring Top 100 Asia, Mobby’s and others for its innovative technology. The AppWrapper has powered app monetisation for more than 20,000 apps and games, including those from Disney India, Electronic Arts, Gameloft, Herocraft and other top developers. The app works seamlessly in conjunction with any existing monetisation tool already integrated into the app to boost the revenues and capabilities of the app, without the developer having to worry about compatibility. 

     

    In addition to monetisation, the new AppWrapper is designed to automatically integrate multiple services such as analytics, bug tracking and user engagement, significantly reducing development cycles.

    Universal Studios creates mobile division

    MUMBAI: Universal Studios has announced that its consumer products group has created a dedicated division designed to capitalise on the rapidly growing world of mobile entertainment.

    The new division, Universal Mobile Entertainment, will be run from a day to day perspective by Universal veteran Jeremy Laws who has been promoted to senior vice president.

    Under the newly minted division, Laws will oversee all aspects of licensing and promotions in the wireless arena as well as actively pursue and manage licenses from creation to consumption. He will lead a team of sales executives based around the world including the major media markets like Los Angeles, London and Tokyo.

    Laws says, “My goal, and that of my team, will be to ensure that fans of Universal’s films and television programmes will have easy access to a broad range of compelling, high quality
    mobile content on their handsets.”

    Universal Studios adds that it has been aggressive in the mobile content licensing market since 2000 and currently has more than 60 deals worldwide with premiere partners such as I-play, Gameloft, Buongiorno-Vitaminic, Ojom, Indiagames, Player X, (M)Forma and Starwave Mobile.

    current and library film and television assets.

    Laws joined Universal Studios Consumer Products Group as executive director in 1999.
