SteveInAustin Developing for SForce - clientID and Security Review
Folks;
I'm looking at Simon Fell's sForce tools - I'm thinking of a Mac desktop application and possibly an iPhone application.
Does this mean I have to pay $5000 for the security review to get the clientID?
If not what do I use for the clientID when I try and connect?
Sorry for such newbie questions but I'm having a lot of trouble on this site using a Macintosh...
Steve
You only need a clientId if you're trying to build a product that'll work with editions that don't include API access (like professional edition). Otherwise you can just leave the clientId blank.
Simon;
Why does the sample code in sforce include the clientID?
I don't understand "Professional Edition" where can I find out what that means?
How would I know whether someone is using "Professional" from inside the sforce code?
Steve
What sample code are you looking at ?
Here's some info on editions.

From the API you can't tell specifically which edition someone has, but you can use things like describeGlobal to determine which parts of the data model they have access to.

You told me to that maildrop had a later implementation of sforce (which is nearly 3 years old)
DId you pay the $5000 fee in order to sell maildrop?
The link you provided tells me pricing information but I can't tell whether or not I need a clientID to 'talk' to 'Contact', or 'Group' or 'Enterprise' -- where can I find a clear explanation of this?
Steve
Somewhere there's a chart that shows which editions have API access (current EE, UE, DE), all other editions need a clientId for API access.
Simon;
So I am trying to answer a very basic question.
Do I need to spend $5000 to get a clientID?
If I am tracking what you are saying:
Contact Edition - no API Access -> need clientID -> must spend $5000
GroupEdition - no API Access -> need clientID -> must spend $5000
Professional Edition - no API Access -> need clientID -> must spend $5000
Enterprise Edition - has API Access -> no clientID -> do not need to spend $5000
Unlimited Edition - has API Access -> no clientID -> do not need to spend $5000
Is this accurate?
Steve
I don't know what the current cost of a security review is, but yes, the rest is correct.
You probably should talk to the partner support folks.
