How to find Google+ App in App Store

Google Plus has just released the long awaited Google+ App for iOS, something Android users have had for a while.  The main attraction being that you can now upload photos off iOS devices with built-in cameras like the iPhone and iPad, which you can't do off the regular mobile HTML site (which, if you haven't checked out yet, is awesome!).

There's only a small problem - as of now, searching for either "Google Plus" or "Google+" or even just "Google" in the App Store app does not find the app.  I'm sure this will be fixed, but for now if you want to find it search for "Google huddle" and it will be the only result shown.

Here's a direct link to app in iTunes: Google+.

Google+ Developers Group

If you're like me, you can't wait to get your hands on Google+ APIs to start building cool new things which run on Google's new social network. What's got me excited about G+ development is the robust range of offerings that Google can make available as part of the ecosystem for apps to run in, with single sign on across them all.

So how do you get in on the action? Right now there isn't much out there but Google has created a form on which you can sign up to be notified when new info is released:

To stay updated as the Google+ project develops and get a heads up when we have more details to share about Google+ developer opportunities, sign up here. Your email will be added to a Google group. In addition, we'd love to gather more information about you.

I was notified "Your information has been sent to Google and your email has been added to the Google+ Developers group" after filling it out. Knuckles cracked, sleeves rolled up and ready to build cool new things once APIs surface - bring it!

What will you build?
