I have question is their way to customize the main store listing? I want to remove the table requirements because the app want to apply on the phone devices not in the tablet devices.
I read some articles or post that I need to go this section in the google console.
Reach and devices -> Device Catalog
You can limit your app to Phones only from the app manifest for more on this see this answer.
for Google Play store listing, you can add 1 screenshot for each tablet size using a phone screen shot, in that way you will only target phones.
the problem with "Device Catalog" approach that you will need to do this every time new devices were added to google play console which is very hard to do.

My app is live on Appstore and Google Play Store. This is what I want. Except other countries where I have my app. I want to share with different screenshots. For example, my current country is Turkey and my screenshots are in Turkish. I want the screenshots to be in english in other regions. For this, I set up a special store entry in GooglePlaystore. But I can't find how to do it in Appstore.
This will need a new update on App Store.
Make new update
Then from Prepare for submissions tab go the language menu on the right and scroll down to "not localized" languages and choose English (see the image below)
I want to test new version app with my testers. I created close test channel and typed tester's email addresses. The beta app was published. App name was changed on Google Play Store to " (beta)". But we can't update. There is no update button on Google Play Store. There are two buttons, open and remove. How can we update the beta app to test on Google Play Store?
Thanks a lot.
As far as I know update is not supported. You either have to go live with the app or remove the current version and create new beta.
I am currently trying to find the most efficient way to continue a method in the background of my app.
I am probably adding location/gps to my app soon, so I was considering using that flag to keep the app Active in the background. However, I do not want to add that flag yet because I want to post an App Update before I add the location functionality.
I know the exceptions;
Apps that play audible content to the user while in the background, such as a music player app
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Besides asking for a more generic idea then these ^, can someone explain the "external accessory" flag please? I am recording video from an outside device. However, I do not know what constitutes an "external accessory".
I also see that iOS7 has introduced new Multi-tasking functionality but I haven't seen any examples that I understand can someone also explain that? Maybe that is a viable solution?
Thanks in advance!
I am building some software that requires me to display the icons of different apps, and possible save them on a database so I can look it up on demand?
I know you can get the url scheme but is that all you can do with it ? Or is there a way to get the app icons ?
For instance is there a way to get the icon of angry birds via an API call to the IOS system ?
In a non-jailbroken iPhone, you cannot get it from the OS.
You need to query the iTunes service from Apple to get this info ex:

Get other application icon image in my Application
I am not a developer but I am a university researcher studying informal education through social media.
Recently I just had my account disabled when I tested the application gramblr for uploading photos to Instagram. As I have a few members of my learning community who wanted to participate but could not afford a smartphone I wanted to find them alternate options.
Presently anything I upload and tag does not show up amidst other images with the same tag.
This is a big problem as I am the lead researcher and the community organizer, and I lead through example, as well as create various educational avenues through the use of tags.
Please help me to resolve this issue as soon as is possible.
Thank you

I was having the same problem. Gramblr actually broke my Instagram account. I had to delete it and start with a new account. Here is how I figured out how to upload photos from my PC with no smart phone:
1 - Download and install BlueStacks: http://www.bluestacks.com/ When running, this program will produce an environment in which you can run popular apps on your computer.
2 - Search for the Instagram app within the BlueStacks App Player & install it. Also search for the Roots Browser app and install it as well (you'll use this app to upload photos from your computer.)
3 - Open Instagram inside BlueStacks & either register a new account or sign in with an existing one.
4 - Open the Roots Browser app and navigate to the desired folder where you will be storing images copied from your computer. I chose SD Card > Pictures. Pull the image(s) into the folder & drop it. It will ask you where you want to send it - choose Instagram.
5 - Open the Instagram app. To upload photos from your computer you must go into the Instagram settings (maybe under Advanced Settings) and disable/uncheck the Instagram camera. In the lastest updates the placement of this checkbox option has changed, so it may take some looking around to find it.
6 - In the Instagram app, click on the camera icon to upload a photo. Choose gallery & then navigate through your Root Browser to the folder where you dragged in your chosen image(s). Choose an image.
7 - Post as you would normally by following the prompts/icons to progress.
I ran into 1 more issue. It turns out that my BlueStacks Instagram app would get stuck after choosing the photo & trying to continue with posting. The screen would turn black & nothing happened for a very long time. I ended up having to update my graphics card drivers & that fixed the problem. If you need help updating your graphics card driver(s) see the http://www.ma-config.com/en website. It will help you to figure out what drivers can be updated. You'll have to download the proper version for your computer operating system & install it on your computer. Double click the icon on your desktop after installation to run it & then hit the refresh button in the browser on the ma-config website. Follow prompts to download drivers needed.
This is the method that worked for me. There are several other methods if you search YouTube with combinations of words including BlueStack & Instagram.
Blue stacks has tons of adware/malware etc. according to my security software, the better work around is dropbox. Put the image in drop box on your computer, then on your phone select your photo from dropbox. A bit long winded but it works.
