What Members are saying about prMac:
"I can not tell you how satisfied I am with the high quality Press Release prMac helped us to develop and distribute. With 60,000 apps and rising in the iTunes Store, it's getting harder and harder to stand out from the competition. I had already spent 100's of dollars on seemingly meaningless advertising showing very little results when I read an article from another developer raving about prMac's service. Within 5 minutes of the Press Release going live, I had tons of e-mails coming in from popular iphone blogs and websites interested in reviewing Power Grid and another large sum of websites posted the Press Release to their members. We instantly saw growth in our website traffic well over 400% and it really helped us jump start our advertising campaign."

Blue Parabola Launches Free IAP Verification Service for iOS Developers
July 18, 2012 in iOS Development
[prMac.com] Toronto, Canada - Blue Parabola, LLC has announced the launch of Beeblex, a free service that allows iOS developers to securely verify in-app purchase receipts against Apple's server without having to provision and develop their own server-side hardware or software.
Beeblex works by providing developers with a small library that can be easily integrated within their apps and, in a matter of minutes, be used to validate IAP receipts to determine their validity. The algorithm used to perform the validation uses asymmetric encryption to protect all data, and is designed to deter man-in-the-middle attacks and certificate spoofing. In addition, Beeblex keeps track of receipt identification tokens and reports duplicates to the app, helping reduce the incidence of unauthorized receipt reuse.
Beeblex's encryption mechanisms are designed to be secure, with 64-bit symmetric and 768-bit asymmetric keys, while remaining in compliance with the U.S. Department Commerce exemptions from certification and reporting of products that contain data encryption. Higher security is provided by the service as an alternative for those users who prefer it.
In recognition of the importance of IAPs to the developer community, the service is completely free, and comes with absolutely no catch whatsoever. With the exception of what is strictly required to run Beeblex, Blue Parabola does not collect any information about Beeblex's users or the users of their apps, and there are no usage limits. Blue Parabola has pledged to continuing offering the verification free of charge for as long as Beeblex is available.
Blue Parabola has also open-sourced the SDK that developers use to access Beeblex. This provides a measure of transparency, allowing the community to examine the code and provide input on possible enhancements to the security model used by the service.
Beeblex supports iOS 5.0 and higher, and is available for immediate use at Beeblex online.
