Secret API and Jimmy John's

I forgot to mention in the FAQ but the secret API that you must include in your app is.....

Sharing!

You can do this any number of ways:

• Use the UIActivityViewController to add a Share Sheet to your app
• Use the Social framework to pull data from either Facebook or Twitter.  Do something cool with it.
• You can post something to FaceBook or Twitter using the SLComposeViewController.
• If you want to be really impressive, you can make an App Extension to add another button to the standard share sheet of other apps.

This should leave it pretty open to almost any app that you'd like to create.  If you're making a game, maybe you post your high scores to Facebook.  If you're making a calendar-type app, maybe you pull data from Twitter.  If you're making a utility application, include a share sheet to allow the user to export to any number of services.

Also -- we have TONS of Jimmy John's sandwiches left.  If you're coding right now, come hang out in the Rashid Auditorium.  We're chillin' with some deadmau5 from the iTunes Festival on the big screen.
