This page provides downloadable sample projects as well as pre-built sample applications that demonstrate how to use the MintChip API to interact with the local (physical) MintChip. These applications have been developed for the platforms that support the MintChip housed in a micro SD card. Currently, these are Android and BlackBerry smart-phones and Windows based PCs.

To develop applications for the iPhone we encourage developers to use the Remote (Hosted) MintChip API detailed in the Hosted API Reference.
