Today we are announcing version 1.4.0 of the Google+ iOS SDK. The new version includes two of the most highly requested features from the developer community:
  1. In-app share box. Now your users can share with their Google+ circles, directly from your iOS app! In addition, the native in-app share box supports image and video attachments. If you've already implemented browser-based sharing, you can switch to the native in-app share box with a single line change:
              Just update this:
 [[GPPShare sharedInstance] shareDialog]
              to this:
 [[GPPShare sharedInstance] nativeShareDialog]
                             
The native iOS in-app share box                                            
   

2.  ID token support. ID tokens allow you to securely verify the identity of users of your iOS                     clients to your application servers.
