How do I make plugins...

Hi guys, I was wanting to make a YouTube plugin for you Buzztouch users, but I haven't idea where to start with tools and stuff for creating a plugin. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks,

You'll then want to call up something like this.... [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.youtube.com"]];

Haha I love how straightforward this question is...I have actually wondered the exact same thing but never took the time to ask. Consider this my thread subscription :)

Actually, I don't think you'd want to do that @Nick Langley. First things first @Annadale, do you know how to program for iOS/Android? And is this for Android or iOS? Also, what functionality specifically do you want in your "YouTube Plugin".

Plug-in learning path is coming soon. The guides David has made are great starting points for now: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/bt-plugins-creating-sharing-selling.pdf to actaully put one together that works and will get in the market, it takes a combination of methods/lessons put together. think small like getting a simple button on a blank screen. Tools? the plug-in creator tool is where you start, it generates a plug-in templae that is your base. aside from that, I use Notepad++ and Xcode. That's it.
