We’re excited to show off our iOS development skills. This app was built in Apple’s native programming language Objective-C, which enables the full capabilities of the device to be harnessed. Some 3rd party development tools that translate their code into Objective-C can’t produce clean, bug-free native code. We plunged into Objective-C to ensure we can tackle any app feature our clients can dream up. Check it out!

The app has a simple but powerful premise: “plant” a virtual tree on your Facebook wall, and Chevrolet will plant a real tree in a US forest, up to 175,000 trees.

It was an honor to work on such a meaningful project.

Solarsilk’s backend system accepts registrations via the Facebook app, and returns the data to the app in XML format for display and interaction.  The backend also allows SS+K/Allstate to update live event registration numbers, define Facebook photo albums associated with the events, and more.

Check it out – and register your DSGN8D TXTR – don’t text and drive!
