Want to create a mobile app that can create Jira issues in cloud

[bipin]

I am working on a mobile app that will let users create a JIRA issue in the cloud. I can see that there is support for building AddOns but they seem to be only for the web.

How do I create an add on so that it will let users of my iOS app OAuth log into their cloud JIRA account and create issues? 

Is this only supported for server instances of jira?

New to JIRA so any pointers are much appreciated.

thanks

Here is what I did:

I created my new class that inserts the needed data in the help database. Then I called from DefaultJiraDataImporter.

So you could actually run a search afterwards and get the External System ID and Issue Key, that would allow you to match them. No need to do that in the importer itself.

[Petya Tsvetanova Petrova]

Do you mean to search in the database? If yes, it won't work because we have a few JIRA instances. That is why we need the links to be stored during the import. So, is there a way to get the issue key and/or issue link?

[Pawel Niewiadomski]

No it the database directly, just to use Issue Navigator. I believe there's no other option currently.

[Pawel Niewiadomski]

In case of projects (and others, except issues unfortunately) there's actually a callback that your plugin can implement - there's ImportDataBean.getCallbacks and there are several callbacks you can implement. There's afterProjectCreated callback as well.

I'm going to add afterIssueCreated callback, it will be released in JIRA 6.0

What about the project key?

[Petya Tsvetanova Petrova]

Actually, I need the URL of each issue. I want to do a redirection from Savannah to JIRA. For that purpose I have to store somewhere the two URLs. I have already the external URL, but I don't know how to get the new one.

Where do you want to get it? What do you want to use it for?

I develop a Savannah importer plugin as a part of your JIM plugin. What I need to do is to insert into a table the old and the new issue key. Then I want to create an automatic redirection on the Savannah site to the migrated issue in JIRA.

Huh? What are you doing and what are you planing to do?
