Hi all,
I wished to submit this new package, the only thing is the main source file needs to be taken from the url (e.g needs a registration) but that s all so I dunno if I can apply for submitting this to aur ?
Kind regards.

So, first advice, you can remove all the var you don’t set. You also don’t need to quote $pkgname/$pkgver. You can avoid $srcdir and quoting in prepare by using .. instead.
Now, regarding your question, such packages are allowed in AUR, but you have to take some extra care about sources in particular. Please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines

The usual way to deal with such sources is to list it as e.g. local://$pkgname-$pkgver.tgz and expect the user to download it manually.
Note that simply listing the source as $pkgname-$pkgver.tgz means the AUR submission process will block your upload, since sources without a download method must be included in the AUR commit (to be downloaded alongside the PKGBUILD).

As Bruno said, you have lots of junk variables; if you're not using them, simply don't include them at all. :)
Given that the pkgdesc references a C API for something, and it uses CMake and depends on pcre... I am guessing the arch should not be: arch=('any') -- which refers to packages that don't include platform-specific files like ELF binaries -- and should in fact be: arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
