What's the plugin/sdk to use for the following functionalities?

cocos2d-x
1

Just started a new game. Wanted to implement the following functionalities. Wanted to know which plugs/sdks should I go for?

Wanted functionalities (in order of importance):

  • Share to FB and Twitter, and hopefully other Chinese platforms like SinaWeibo
  • Analytics (e.g. GoogleAnalytics, is there any other good ones?)
  • User sign in with FB and/or G+
  • Ads placement

I came across SDKBOX. Is this the official Cocos2d sdk? From what I see, it seems that it can only share to Twitter? http://docs.sdkbox.com/en/plugins/share/v3-cpp/#share-content-to-twitter

Well congratulations.

SDKBOX is official for plugin integration into Cocos games and will work smoothly with cocos projects.
We support Facebook, Share for twitter as plugins, please find the docs for them in here -
http://docs.sdkbox.com/en/

But, there’s no support for Weibo as of now.

Flurry is considered as Industrial standard for analytics.
SDKBOX supports both FlurryAnalytics and GoogleAnalytics.

You may use Facebook plugin for login functionality.
No support for G+

We support Fyber, Vungle, AdColony, Chartboost, AdMob to satisfy your ad network needs.

You can use Facebook plugin to share your game contents to Facebook as well.

We also have a cloud based service for SDKBOX, which would enable you to change your configs OTA, without the necessity of re-uploading a new build to appstore/playstore.
please check about it more here -

Let us know, if you face any issues.
It would be great, if you could place your issues inside the SDKBOX category of forum posts, as that would be easy for us to track and would be more discoverable to the users.

Best,
Pabitra
