Amazon is exploring integration of the Mobile Associates API into iOS apps. They are in the planning stages of launching a beta program and are encouraging iOS developers to apply now to participate in the upcoming program. Participants will be selected based on their use case and willingness to provide feedback.
As a beta tester, developers will receive early access to the Mobile Associates API for iOS. As part of the program, Amazon will be looking for active feedback on the API to shape the future of the product.

The Amazon Mobile Associates API currently serves U.S. users and works with mobile apps on Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, and Android phones and tablets. Apps that use the Amazon Mobile Associates API may be distributed through any Android platform as long as they are available through the Amazon Mobile App Distribution Program.
With the API developers can offer physical and digital products in apps and games distributed through Amazon and other Android stores, earning up to 6% in advertising fees on purchases made.
