Yes, 20 default, but you can request more (arbitrary max?) number of friends through optional parameters.
In any case, I think that the whole app data stuff isn't really meant to be used with huge amounts of data and can't really provide flexibility and scalability as you make your app more complex. I'd use it for some settings or temporal storage/cache. It's limit of 10K (if I remember correctly?) is another reason. I guess in the end you will want some sort of backend server (sql?) for the app data and all persistence. Again, depending on the depth of the app. Just my thoughts Jelena davew wrote: > It's great that google provides a nice 0.7 tutorial. However, doesn't > it have serious scaling issues?
