MKMapView Not rendring on Cocoa Application - objective-c

I am trying to use MKMapView but the it won't render the tiles on view.
I am getting this in the debugger.
"Your Application has attempted to access the Map Kit API. You cannot
access this API without an entitlement. You may receive an entitlement
from the Mac Developer Program for use by you only with your Mac App
Store Apps. For more information about Apple's Mac Developer Program,
please visit developer.apple.com."
I have searched for the solution but can't find the proper solution for this. I have enabled the maps services to in the member centre, but still unable to resolve my issue.
Is there anyone who have any idea about this?
P.S: I am using developer Id application certificate, and it doesn't use any provision profile for code signing.

In Xcode, go to your Application's target and select the Capabilities tab. There you can flip 'Maps' from Off to On. This will add the entitlement.

How to Launch/Open any other external app from hybrid app? [duplicate]

I have a requirement to open the native version of the hybrid app (.ipa/.apk/.appx) when the hybrid app is requested in a device browser.
I am able to detect the environment using WL.Client.getEnvironment(); method, if it is found to be Android/iPad, I want to launch the respective .apk/.ipa file in the device. Any help is appreciated.
Re-reading this question and the comments several times... I still do not understand the actual scenario... it'd be best to rephrase it.
Scenario: How to open an app from the web browser:
If you have added the following environments to your Worklight application:
Mobile Web
Android
iPhone
And when visiting the Mobile Web version of your app, you want to display a message like "For the full experience, open the full application by clicking here".
Then:
It is implied that the user already has the application installed.
If it is not installed, you need to take care of that somehow
The way to handle this scenario is to use URI schemas:
For Android: How to implement my very own URI scheme on Android
This means that after adding the custom URI schema to AndroidManifest.xml, you could then detect the device OS the Mobile Web app is currently running on and display a custom link: myapp://<the URI schema you've defined>. Tapping it will open the app installed on the device.
For iOS, in a similar fashion: https://coderwall.com/p/mtjaeq
Also see: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes
Alternate solution: If you are not sure if the app will be installed or not, then instead of using URI schemas you can always point to either Google Play or Apple App Store, to the app page; the user will then have either a "Open" or "Install" link.
Scenario: How to open an app from my own app
If you have a Worklight Hybrid application (Mobile Web is not a Hybrid application), and you want to open another application from within it, you can:
Use the same approach of URI schemas, or
Use Cordova plug-ins
I have created this Worklight 6.1.0 project to demonstrate:
Android - How to open, for example, the Android Settings app from your Worklight Hybrid app
iOS - How to check if Waze is installed and open it, and if it is not installed then to open Apple Maps instead.
See instructions.txt in the apps\test folder.
Are you asking that if the user via their device browser hits the webapp version of your app on the internet, the website will ask the user to fire up the native app on their device? kind of like what ebay does?
if that is what you want check out these pages

How to configure Android Push Notifications (GCM) in Appcelerator Titanium Dashboard?

I've tried to following the instructions
Configuring push services for Android devices
However, the steps mention 'Click Push Notifications on the left-side navigation' but they don't exist...
Once you've created a Google API project with GCM enabled, you need to update your application's settings page in Dashboard with the API key and sender ID you generated.
To configure Arrow for push notifications using Dashboard:
Open Dashboard and select your application from the Apps drop-down menu.
Click Push Notifications on the left-side navigation <-- MISSING.
Select the Android Push tab.
Enter the server key in the GCM API Key field and the GCM sender ID in the GCM Sender ID field.
Here's a screenshot to show what's listed...
If I look under Arrow (where I suspect it might be expecting to be listed) that's empty (I'm not using Arrow - I thought it was an alternative UI using declarative XML)...
I've checked the subscription that I'm on (Indie) and it shows that I should have the ability to send up to 1 million push notifications for free..
Does anyone know how I can associate the Appcelerator Titanium project to the GCM server key??
Also, when I looked in Googles developer console, my application (which is live on their app store) wasn't listed, so I've created a new application called 'Gcm'. The Appcelerator Titanium seemed to confirm that I needed to 'create' the application, I was just too worried to call it the same name as the live application. How does the 'Google Developer Console' Application relate to the 'Google Play' application?! - if at all?
UPDATE
I've just discovered in TiApp.xml that I can enable some 'Cloud' settings and this has unlocked the 'Push' menu - so I think all is good now, could someone confirm that this is the right thing to do and answer my related question about Google play applications v google developer console applications?
Update 2
I started to get this error
[ERROR] : GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources
were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the
resources are included.
[INFO] : CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken error: INVALID_SENDER
I'm simply calling this to try and register for Android push notifications ...
CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken({
success : function(e) {
console.info("CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken success");
},
error : function(e) {
console.info("CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken error:"+e.error);
}
});
I have tried with and without the ti.cloud module (I think it got added when I clicked the 'Enable Services' button which meant that I could see the 'Push Notifications' tab, but it seems to still be listed whether the ti.cloud module is elected or not)..
Before..
Q - How to stop the Google Play error and retrieve the device token (oddly I was getting the token before enable services.
Q - Is ti.cloud used to receive the push notification, or is ti.cloudpush sufficient for this?
Thanks for the detailed question :) Let me go into some of the things you mention and clarify what I can.
If I look under Arrow (where I suspect it might be expecting to be listed) that's empty
As you later found out you have to enable platform services for your app which will create an ArrowDB app with the same name as your app. This app will have the Push Notifications in the sidebar to configure. I've updated the guide's wordings to make clear we mean the ArrowDB app, not the Titanium app.
(I'm not using Arrow - I thought it was an alternative UI using declarative XML)...
Don't confuse Arrow with Alloy - which is the MVC framework for Titanium which indeed uses XML.
How does the 'Google Developer Console' Application relate to the 'Google Play' application?! - if at all?
It doesn't. You can even have multiple apps share the same GCM sender.
[ERROR] : GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources were not found.
What did you use to test? A Genymotion emulator without Google Apps installed perhaps? You'll need that.
Is ti.cloud used to receive the push notification, or is ti.cloudpush sufficient for this?
ti.cloud is the module to communicate with ArrowDB, subscribe to channels etcetera. On Android you need ti.cloudpush (or as #Shawn mentioned another module) to retrieve the device token where on iOS you can use a Ti. API for that. Follow this guide for all steps.
You can ignore the Google Play Service error, but it seems your GCM Sender ID and/or API Key is wrong. Read through the tutorial and make sure you put down the right ones.
If you are using Appcelerator Cloud Service to send push notifications, you need ti.cloud to register the devices.
To get the device token and to receive push notifications, you use ti.cloudpush. There are other modules that you can use instead of ti.cloudpush.

Error with 'com.apple.developr.aps-environment' when validating mac application on xcode

In an application I made for Mac, when I ran the process for validating the archive, it came up with the error:
The archived application has entitlements that require Mac App Store distribution.
The invalid entitlements were:
com.apple.developer.aps-environment.
I looked at this link: Enabling Push Notifications and the entitlement, I think, is in relation to the push notifications.
I tried adding the
com.apple.developer.aps-environment
to my entitlements file as a boolean set to YES, but the error still came up.
How can I fix this?
It looks like you're maybe trying to sign the app for distribution outside the App Store, and Xcode is telling you it's not going to let you do that because you're using App Store only features.
I'm no expert in signing stuff, but to get my last app to submit I signed it with the "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:..." identity, not my "Developer ID:" identity. The latter is only for when you're distributing apps directly to customers from your own website.
It's not a boolean. It's a string that's either 'development' or 'production'. It's also only for apple store only.

How Can I Launch The App-store App Directly from my Application

I want to place a button or a link in my app with which the user can start the app-store and buy my app if the app is in trial mode.
I can not find any relavant Information on this. How can I implement this?
MSDN documentation: Creating links with the Windows Store protocol. Alternatively, the URI for the app in the store can be accessed using the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentApp.LinkUri property.
You can then open a link to your app in the store using Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync.

On a Mac how to determine a user logout is occuring

I am very new to the Mac platform and Objective-C in general and in my application I would like to know how to determine that a user is logging out and perform some actions prior to this. Any info or pointers for this?
The official way to put the hook at logging in / logging out is described in these Apple documents Customizing Login and Logout and Tech Note 2228. But I'm afraid that the log-out hook was no longer directly supported.
So, the second best way is to run a headless Cocoa app, and receive a notification from the system using NSWorkspace, see the document and the list of available notifications.
To make a headless Cocoa app, you need to set an entry in its Info.plist called LSUIElement, see here. By setting LSUIElement to be yes, the app don't appear in the dock, but perform various operation in the background.
Take a look at Receiving Workspace Notifications in this Workspace Services document.
NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification
Posted when the user has requested a
logout or that the machine be powered
off.
