Multiplayer with iOS and Parse

2 questions.

1) I want to create a multiplayer iOS game using AIR, but I don't really see any options to make it happen. Game Center would be ideal but as far as I know there are no ANE's to do this, have I missed them? or are there other options?

2) I'm a big fan of parse.com and their services, are there any ways to get them working AIR/AS3 ?

Thanks for any advice.

We start to develop exactly what you are look for Air native extension for Parse http://parse-ane.launchrock.co/

We have just released a GameKit ANE that includes support for both turn-based and real-time Game Center matches. For turn-based matches specifically, you listen to three important events, and make one call each to advance turn, assign match outcome, and end game.

This ANE also provides a low-level API to the FULL native GameKit framework if you need more advanced functionalities. That's right, the COMPLETE native GameKit framework with all the GK classes, properties, methods, delegates, and callback functions!

It supports iOS Simulator but some functionalities do not work as this is the case for native code also, as stated in the iOS documentation.

Check it out at https://airextensions.net/shop/extensions/game-kit-by-vitapoly/, and please let us know any comments or questions.

Check the GameCenter ANE here:

The ANE has multiplayer support. However turn by turn based matches are still on the TO-DO list.

Nuts, just when I was totally convinced I need to stay on the path of learning/creating a obj-c/iOS game along comes this. The 2 stand outs for me are Game Center Multiplayer and testFlight integration, those 2 are pretty big but Adobe really really need to put in turn-based integration into that GC ANE as soon as humanly possible as it's going to be what most people I presume will want to use.

Hmm now I have a decision to make.

Just downloaded FB 4.7 and gaming SDK, setup a actionscript Mobile application, went through the different stages, went to the ANE folder, selected game center ANE, and it came up with an error...

"This ANE does not support desktop (Mac) platform"

?
