"Corona Labs, the multi-development platform firm, is boosting its offerings for app developers via the introduction of Corona Plugins.\r\n\r\nWith Corona Plugins, developers seeking to create cross-platform applications, games and eBooks\u00A0for platforms including iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, and NOOK, will be allowed easy access to more functionality and monetization options.\r\n\r\nThe monetization capability is what will likely draw app developers to Corona Labs' flagship development platform, Corona SDK.\r\n\r\nDevelopers will be able to tap into third-party services that Corona Labs is partnering with, with the first wave of partners including SponsorPay,\u00A0Tap for Tap, Inneractive, Green Throttle and Carrot.\r\n\r\nSponsorPay is a\u00A0value-exchange advertising platform that helps monetize content\u00A0for mobile and social app publishers, while\u00A0Tap for Tap is a\u00A0network for iOS and Android apps that includes a free tap exchange,\u00A0paid promotion, and an app monetization network.\r\n\r\nDevelopers on Corona Plugins will also be able to integrate plugins into their apps by adding only a few lines of code to the project without sourcing for additional software.\r\n\r\n\u201CCorona Plugins and the functionality they provide have been highly anticipated by Corona\u00A0SDK developers,\u201D said David Rangel, COO of Corona Labs.\r\n\r\nStarted five years ago and previously known as Ansca Mobile,\u00A0Corona Labs has raised $3 million in funding, including a\u00A0$2 million financing round in November last year.
