Where do you find Mac App Store analytics - app-store-connect

I have recently published my first Mac app onto the Mac App Store, forgive me if this is a stupid question but i can find no place on iTunes Connect that shows the analytics for it, the App Analytics section on iTunes Connect only shows my iOS app? There must be somewhere to see how many units i have sold?

So i contacted apple an there reply was:
App Analytics is available only for iOS developers at this time, and it reports data only from customers using iOS 8 and above. Therefore you will not see data from your Mac app.
If you would like, I can submit feedback on your behalf for a possible future enhancement. If this is something you would like me to do, please reply with a clarification of your request, and I will be happy to send it up for you.
So the short answer is there is nowhere for you to find how many downloads/revenue you have earned. Which is well, shit

Connecting to iMessage functionality with iOS8

I am making an iPhone app and need to be able to minimally see when a message comes in, when I myself look at it, and when I answer it. I need to see when this happens on the message app that is within the iPhone iOS. I have been looking around for a solution on this and have not been able to find one.
Is this possible to access this data on the iPhone or is it completely closed off?
There is no Messages SDK available currently (as of iOS 8.1) that would allow a developer to interact with (or receive) messages.
The most you can do is to share content through MFMessageComposeViewController.
Be aware other search results suggesting you can use CoreTelephony - you app will be rejected by Apple because CT is a private framework.

iTunes Connect doesn't ask for updated screenshots?

I've updated my iPhone app to support the iPhone 5 screen..
I've done this before for another app and I was forced to upload new screenshots taken with the iPhone 5.
This time however, iTunes Connect just displays the status as "waiting for review" and isn't mentioning anything about the screenshots..
I'm slightly worried something has gone wrong? App works great on iPhone 5 and simulator though.
It turns out Apple can block apps during the review process that have something wrong with metadata. If they decide your metadata is wrong they'll just change your app's status to "Metadata Rejected".
Here's the quote from the rules for this status:
Appears when specific metadata items aside from your binary have not
passed review. To resolve the issue, edit the metadata in iTunes
Connect and your existing binary is then reused for the review
process. You receive a communication from App Review in the Resolution
Center regarding the reason for the metadata rejection.
When things change to the AppStore (Apple adds a device) they might require you to get new screenshots. But if nothing changed in their system, it's normal that they don't ask.
Don't worry!
They copy over the screenshots from your last version of the app (or is your Retina4 screenshot section in itunesconnect empty?). So if you donĀ“t want to update them, it should be okay like this.
Chances are your app has not hit review (and now as of the 21st) and won't be reviewed until after the 29th. Once your app hits review, it will become rejected for the missing screenshots. If you want to save yourself some time and pain, update the screenshots while Apple is on their downtime for the Christmas holiday. You'll thank yourself later.
My app got accepted yesterday, no word about the screenshots.
App works fine on iPhone 5, mailed Apple to complain this probably is a bug (iTUnes Connect does not recognize localized Default.png, which is what is checked to verify it is iPhone 5 optimized I believe.)

Re-activating a Facebook App

I want to know if it is possible to re-activate a Facebook App that has been previously disabled.
This is what happened:
We created a Facebook App and an iPhone App that connect to each other. After releasing our game to App Store, one of our programmers accidentally deleted the App from Facebook. Now players are shown a message saying the Facebook App does not exist.
We know this may not be possible, but still wanted to ask.
I work on the platform team at Facebook.
Unfortunately there isn't a standard way to do this since this isn't a situation that occurs often. However, I can imagine how painful this may be. If you could provide me with either of the following - the app namespace, canvas/connect URL for the app or the app ID, we may be able to help.

Please give me some Suggestion/Helpful Link or any Hint Regard my query. How I start To Code My Application. THANKYOU ALL

It looks like it's possible to read stored messages but you'll also gona have to learn something about SQlite.
Take a look at the links here (the accepted answer and link in the comments): read iphone sms messages?
But this will work only on jail-broken iPhones and certainly will not be approved for App Store.
You'll find the location of database in sebsto's answer to this question: iphone app reading sms

Is it possible to access text message information through iPhone SDK

I am developing an application where in i want to alert the user if he receives a message from a contact.
I have been struggling for the same yet haven't found any solution to this.
I also wanted to know if the sdk 3.0 allows access to the call history..
There is no access to SMS messages from the application sandbox, and there is no access to call logs from the application sandbox. You can file a feature request with Apple, but I doubt you will see changes to this any time soon. You will not be able to provide any functionality in your app that depends on this information.
Similar question here regarding call history:
Reading call history in iPhone OS
Short answer is, not possible. I do not believe this has changed in 3.0.
