Openkit Push mobile games open source Platform

Beijing Time September 28 news, according to foreign media reports, Openkit has officially launched its mobile social games open source platform, the platform for all developers to use.

This March, Openkit released version 1.0 closed beta. Openkit claims that it is the only platform to support the game Center ID, the Google + ID, and the Facebook ID. Openkit service features include rankings, challenges and achievements. The beta version of the platform was initially launched to 10 developers, including the popular game Pivvot developer Whitaker Trebella.
