Is there a reminder service which can be seamlessly integrated between alexa, pc and mobile? - notifications

I am looking for a service
which can take reminders through alexa, pc(debian, mac or windows)
and mobile (android or iOS).
should be able to dispatch notifications
should sync between devices

As of today there is not. However, I know that Urban Airship is working on that. Here is a link to their announcement about it.

How to develop an application for the Sony DSC RX100-M3 camera

I have the RX100-M3 camera, and it seems that some applications can be developed for it.
As far as I understand, the CameraRemoteAPI SDK can be used to develop Android or iOS applications. So is there a way to develop applications for the Sony camera?
I would like to develop a feature to be able to:
set the timer (from 2s to 2min)
select the number of shots (from 1 to 2000)
select the time between shots.
There is an existing "intervalometer" application but it is very expensive.
Camera Remote API SDK allows one to remotely control the supported Sony cameras including RX100M3 from any other device, by sending HTTP commands to the camera. The application you create can run from any
platform Android, iOS , Windows, PC, etc. You will have to connect this device to the camera over WiFi.
To get more information, please download the SDK, which contains sample applications and API documentation.

compatibility devices for google play services

i wanna test my game that uses google play services api(for realtime multiplayer). But i don´t have an android phone or tablet, i only use the emulator.
Is there a specific model of phone that i should buy to use google play services or will it work on any android device?
On emulators, there´s a "target name" called google APIS, so i was wondering about the device.
I have already made my game work on emulators, but even of ButtonClicker example, there´s a delay on the timer on one of the emulators and not on the other. Maybe i should try with a real device?
It will work on any Android phone (not Android compatible). Avoid devices like the Kindle Fire that are compatible, but not actually Android. If it has the Google Play app and it's running Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, you should be set.
The Nexus devices tend to be developer favorites, as they have no customization from carriers or manufacturers and are fairly cheap. Developer Editions would be a good alternative.

Does startAdvertisingPeer work when app enters background?

I'd like the app to advertise a service even when the app enters the background. With Core Bluetooth, this is possible by setting bluetooth-peripheral for UIBackgroundModes.
Does anyone know if the same can be achieved with MCNearbyServiceAdvertiser? Thanks.
When I was at WWDC this year I went to a Developer Lab for Multipeer Connectivity and was told by an Apple engineer that no, service advertisers and browsers will not work in the background.
That said, I've been successfully communicating with connected peers with an app running in the background using a background task, but I have not been able to advertise or browse.

iOS develop and provision private apps

I want to develop some small apps for personal use. I don't want to market them, nor I want anyone other but me to have them. As a developer, I want to be able to put some minor utility app I'd like to have on my own smartphone (an iPhone, of course).
As I'm not going to develop anything commercial in the near future, I'm not going to subscribe the developer program. Is it possible to develop personal apps without subscribing to Apple's program? Would jailbreak help? Am I going to miss any possibility in the development (ability to subscribe to servers, message, use the maps...)
Thanks
there's a number of threads of this.. they all use ldid and are normally jailbroken
How can I deploy an iPhone application from Xcode to a real iPhone device?
Attempting to deploy my app on my jailbroken iphone, but the app closes immediately!

MAC IOS IPC: how to write P2P applications in MAC and IOS?

I'm looking for a way to communicate between a MAC application and an IOS one. Communication should be peer to peer, as IOS application shoul dbe able to send requests to MAC app and the other way around.
I'd be grateful for any hints you might have.

Especially the sample project from the last link might be useful.
