I tried to implement my application and I could not get it to work because they rewrite your code when it gets published to the server. your hands are so tied that it's a huge waste of time to build anything there unless you start from the ground up. but even then, you have no real way of testing until they move the code to prod (which takes several hours because it appears to be a scheduled process. then when you submit your app for approval, it takes several days for someone to reject it. it's unbelievably frustrating! I am a developer by profession. I can usually find a solution for any challenge I am presented with, but I give up on myspace. it's too backassward for me! myspace Developer Platform sucks out loud.

your hands are so tied that it’s a huge waste of time to build anything there unless you start from the ground up. but even then, you have no real way of testing until they move the code to prod (which takes several hours because it appears to be a scheduled process.

then when you submit your app for approval, it takes several days for someone to reject it.

it’s unbelievably frustrating! I am a developer by profession. I can usually find a solution for any challenge I am presented with, but I give up on myspace. it’s too backassward for me!

do yourself a favor, be persistent through the approval process…be prepared for many hours of pulling your hair out, but stick with it….

the effort is well worth it…
