Uber Ride Request Widget - Embed the Uber experience in your app in a few lines code

Previously, to integrate Uber into your app you had to either use Deep Links to hand off to the Uber app or create your own experience around the stages of the ride (waiting, pickup, dropoff, etc). With the Ride Request Widget, you can embed the entire experience directly into your app with just a few lines of code. Seriously, this is how easy it is: We've taken special care to make sure this works well around the world, especially in places where connectivity may not that reliable. If you have feedback or questions, let us know here!

Very nice! Curious as to how many people using the @button integration will consider moving over

Pretty cool seamless integration of uber service

Adding. :)

This is awesome! Why write the SDK in Swift, though? Including any Swift code in an app causes the entire Swift runtime to be included in the app (which makes it larger and slower to download), so this is a tough pill to swallow for those of us who haven't adopted Swift yet. On the other hand, Objective-C APIs can be used from Swift just fine without any runtime cost.

This is rad. Wondering if other services/platforms will adopt similar approach with 'widgetized' integrations

Any App out there which has adopted the widget? Would like to see it at work
