Are there any restrictions on external web service calls from Clover Android apps?

Before jumping into full experimentation following the Android app developments guidance material at docs.clover.com/build/android-apps, I seek to confirm that a key requirement I have for my Clover app is not already prohibited or technically unavailable.

Are there restrictions on calling external web services from a Clover Android app?

For example, a third-party-contributed web intent with a ACTION_MODIFY_AMOUNT filter may call a web service to calculate a dynamic price factor — would that be permitted?

Thanks,

GV

In general, there are no special restrictions on calls to 3rd party web services. Of course, our usual app market policies apply. Making web services calls to retrieve a pricing factor would be allowed.

We will be deprecating unencrypted http support on all Clover devices. I would strongly recommend that you use https for your web service calls.
