Does Heroku support Play 2.1? - heroku

Their Play page was updated on August 2012, and only mentions Play 2.0.
Do they support Play 2.1? I did find a few questions here about deployment of Play 2.1 apps to Heroku, so I assume it is working and the documentation was just never updated. Can anyone confirm?

Yes, Play2.1 works fine on Heroku. Just try :)

Works fine but it's good to know that they don't support websockets (yet) in case your app uses it. I think the only one that supports it is AWS.

Lua MVC framework on Heroku

I have been developing a Web app in Lua via Sailor MVC framework on Windows with MySQL and Apache 2 using mod_lua.so.
Is there a way to run it successfully on Heroku platform or not?
Regards
Heroku doesn't officially support Lua (ref: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks#officially-supported-buildpacks). That being said, there appear to be a number of third-party buildpacks that give you a Lua runtime. The first couple that showed up on Google seem somewhat stale. The good news is that you can create your own buildpack if none of the existing ones work for you.

Is React Native v0.19 version currently unusable with socket.io?

My team have been battling to make react native play nicely with socket.io for 2 days now, without success. Is anyone currently using the most recent version of react native successfully with socket.io, or is the technology just not ready for commercial environments?
According to the answers to this question, there at least used to be a way to do use socket.io with RN. If that's indeed the case, I'd suggest opening an issue in the github repository, it might be a rather easy fix. I'd also making sure there are no existing issues related to what you're asking about before submitting an issue.
Good luck!

Is it possible to play with Google Mirror API without having the device?

I've been reading the documentation and playing at https://glass-java-starter-demo.appspot.com/ but it seems there is no way to further investigate since when following the instructions from https://developers.google.com/glass/playground at my https://code.google.com/apis/console/ the Google Mirror switch is not showing up. Is there any workaround?
According to issue #2 on the tracker (https://code.google.com/p/google-glass-api/issues/detail?id=2) access is currently restricted to members of the Explorer program with Glass.
With the release of XE12, the Mirror API is open to all developers. However, it's still very important to test your Glassware on Glass before distributing it.
you can use this.
Have a look at https://github.com/scarygami/mirror-api
Yes you can use your Android phone as a Google Glass. Look at this guide Google Glass XE7 APKs
After installing those apks in your phone. Lounch Glass Home app.
Then go to MyGlass application and configure your Glass.
Then register for Google Mirror API and follow this quick starter guide
Quickstart
Hope this will help you.
It seems possible now: https://developers.google.com/glass/devprev. Similar answer as Jenny but updated.

ios6 facebook intergration - ios/xcode

Probably a silly question and please dont judge me. Just want to be sure. But are the facebook tutorials on developers.facecook.com still count on the new ios6? Can I still follow them to implement facebook on an app running ios6? thank you in advance..
Facebook SDK 3.1 comes with iOS6 support and native UI views.
It works fine.
Regards,
Vince
As of my knowledge they are working on a better implementation of iOS6 with their 3.0 SDK. But I've implemented the 3.0 SDK of Facebook and it works great.

Implementing Node.js on an online server

I've been reading about Node.js and doing some tutorials, and so far I'm liking it a lot, however I've been trying to find ways to implement it on an online server and so far I haven't found anything, is there any way to do this? Should it be installed the same way I installed it locally but on the online server?
Currently you need a VPS and setup Node like you would do it locally, you should also take a look at this article on how to make sure that your Node.js process runs all the time.
There are a couple of easy solutions coming up though:
Heroku, has announced a closed beta for Node.js support last April, but since then there haven't been any updates on the topic.
Joyent (which recently announced to support Node.js development) also has a closed beta at the moment, but it's full.
Last but not least, there's Nodejitsu, also in private beta at the moment, I don't have any further information on their status though.
As for when those three go public, no idea, but I guess Joyent will be the first to offer their service.
So, right now you'll have to go with the VPS solution and a hoster of your choice.
