AppCoins News Update, or ANU for short, is a regular bi-weekly update by the AppCoins team. As usual, we are going to cover dev updates, market reports, team members and upcoming events. This weeks focus is on APK Migrator Tool improvements, Top Up & Peer-toPeer (P2P) final developments, MWC recap and Game Developers Conference.

Upcoming Events

Since the last ANU, the team’s main focus has been on improving the APK Migrator Tool’s success rate and, also, on the release of the next two major new features — the Top Up and the Peer-to-Peer Transaction.

APK Migrator Tool Improvements

When it comes to the Migrator, we have kept on working on new rules to be applied in the migration process to allow more applications to be automatically equipped with our billing system. Step by step, we are going down the right path to achieve a better success rate of the migration process.

In addition, since we are able to include our billing system into the migration — something that already contains a certain degree of complexity — there is no reason why we shouldn’t include another feature that we consider to have great potential not only for developer but also to the users: the User Acquisition features. Our intention is to allow the possibility of integrating the features available on our User Acquisition SDK, as part of the automatic migration. This will make it even easier for developers to integrate the Proof-of-Attention feature as part of a solution to bring more users to their applications.

SDK PoA — New Publication

Another important topic that has been previously addressed in other Dev Updates, regards the improvements that have been made in the User Acquisition SDK. The goal is to reduce in size and in dependencies when integrated by the developers. During this week we are publishing the new version of the User Acquisition SDK with version 0.4.7.21b.

Top Up & Peer-toPeer (P2P) — Final Developments

Our main focus during these last weeks, and for the following ones, are the Top Up and the P2P features. Both of the features are in the final stages of the development, and we are expecting to deliver a new release of the wallet, and also a web portal for the Top Up, very soon.

The idea is to allow users to start seeing the AppCoins Credits as a very safe and easy solution to use on purchases. They’ll be able to help friends buy new items on their favorite games by transferring Credits, or to gift a family member with AppCoins Credits so that they can use on an application of their choice.

Following last month’s protocol KPIs performance, on this ANU we have collected the values from February, regarding both flows using AppCoins, IAP and User Acquisition, the number of apps downloaded with the integration of AppCoins as well as indicators from the SDK, as the table shows below.
