Uploading a personal google cloud server into app inventor - app-inventor

I was reading about creating a custom tinywebdb and wondered will it offer me more entries than the the normal tinywebdb.
I am creating an app using app inventor where users can comment and review about a specific product.
So I was wondering if I create my google cloud, will I be able to upload it into app inventor? If you guys have better advises please tell me!

The limit of 1000 entries is only valid for the default TinyWebDB component on the test service provided by App Inventor. For a custom TinyWebDB there is no such limit, see also Creating a Custom TinyWebDB Service.
You can read here more about quotas and pricing.
See also this guide for the setup and don't sign up for the free trial.
Generally, as already suggested in the forum, I would use a fusiontable instead, which offers better filter and query possibilities. Remember, in TinyWebDB you can only store tag/value pairs.

How can I implement Google's "Indexing API for job posting URLs" if my job board only has a dashboard and no place to put the key?

We have a job board for the German market. The template/software we use is from a company called JBoard, whos programming language is PHP and Laravel. We are having difficulties being listed in Google for Jobs, so now we want to use one of Google's features (=instant indexing: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2018/06/introducing-indexing-api-for-job?hl=en) for the jobs on our website. We have already generated a key but cannot connect it to the website. According to JBoard, they do not have any place in the backend where you can store the key. However, JBoard says that they have clients who have successfully implemented Google’s API outside of their platform. Apparently it is done with google sheets, google search console and an API token (which I am able to generate via our dashboard). We did find a developer, but he couldn't finish the implementation due to personal reasons. Does anyone know how to implement the instant indexing for jobs when your website is not based on wordpress, Squarespace etc., and with no access to the backend code? Thanks in advance.

Where to find a good Google Play app policy generators

I'm planning on publishing an app on Google Play that uses AdMob and location data to draw pins on an in-app Google Map and need a privacy policy. I'm not sure how to make one so I thought I would use a policy generator for now until I can see if I can afford to have a lawyer write one up.
So the question is what privacy policy generator should I use?
I use this generator it is very good. if you have Facebook login in your app you may need to add a paragraph to enable user to retrieve and/or delete their data from your app, usually I add an email for people who wants to remove their data and that's it.

Is Parse the right choice if your app does not need Facebook integration?

I want to build something similar to a poll service for mobile but it doesn't need Facebook.
After Facebook's acqusition, is Parse.com still a viable option if your web app does not need Facebook integration? Could app developers (customers) log in to my backend without a Facebook account?
Is it possible to build premium features with Parse and then charge for them?
Do you own your data when using Parse.com? I.e., can you export it in case you decide to move to another service in the future?
I am hoping someone with experience can shed some light on this. Thank you!

yes,for now.

yes

yes
I'd suggest you always have a backup plan,when using a BAAS.I pity Stackmob users that didnt.You dont know if parse will still be there in 3 years or their features and pricing will change.Never rely on a BAAS on the long run.
Yes parse has standalone login features with username, and password, in addition to twitter, and facebook. They even handle lost password reset's via email as long as the user has the email field entered. You can check if the user's email has been verified via the emailVerified field.
I'm using stripe.com's payment system via parse's cloud code. I will admit this is not a complete drop in feature for parse yet, but maybe in the future. stripe is made for developers, and I find it to be a very powerful payment system. I can answer some basic stripe/parse questions as I have written myself basically a semi-complete API for handling customers, card, and charges.

How can google analytics be integrated in a desktop application (MAC)..?

Could anyone help or refer how it can be done..I searched over the net and what i felt is that its only for mobile and websites.
It's for websites. Many of the concepts of web analytics (number of pages viewed for example) don't even make any sense on a desktop app, because they're not organized like a web page.
If you want to use Google analytics data from an analytics account Google provides a data export API.
If you want to track your native application then as Catfish_Man (great name btw!) said, it is not really possible. That isn't totally true, as you could fake it, but the paradigm is so different that you would be better off creating you own solution.
You might want to see this library for GA on desktops
http://code.google.com/p/jgoogleanalytics
Google Analytics doesn't provide a native Mac app integration, but you can use the Measurement Protocol Overview to send raw data to your GA property from your account.
Just create a mobile app property and then start sending raw GA events using HTTP. There are couple Obj-C wrappers available like https://github.com/swisspol/GARawTracker or https://github.com/stephenlind/SimpleCocoaGoogleAnalytics.

Google OpenID-OAuth hybrid implementation on Heroku

I am looking for a step by step guide to implement Google OpenID+OAuth in our Webapplication running on Heroku for getting calendar/contacts data. I have looked at many documents and Q&A about this but still can't make things work and was wondering if anyone here knew of a place which describes the plugins, gems needed and a step by step guide. The reason for using the hybrid is that we need a permanent token from Google that we can track for users across multiple sessions.
Truly appreciate any help.
Best,
_KK
You cannot use Google's OpenID to access other service. So you will need to ask user to provide username/password when you want to access calendar (make sure it's SSL-ed!).
So for calendar you can use: GCal4Ruby.
But in general you can access user data using official Google GData gem.
