I was wondering whether IsoStoreSpy (https://isostorespy.codeplex.com/) works with non-developer-unlocked devices?
It's even more restrictive than that -- the feature only works for side-loaded apps, which require dev-unlocked phones. If you're trying to extract the contents of an app's storage (where the app came from the Store) there is no way to do that.
As Peter has said, in answer to your question, due to the nature of the IsoStoreSpy software, you will need to have a developer unlocked phone as it can only read data from apps that have been side-loaded/debugged on the device.

I created an application that simply spins a picture of my goose on screen. That's it. Nothing else.
Could that be deployed to the app stores?
Context:
I'm a mobile app engineer for a few different companies (finTech, gigEconomy, social...) and all of our applications have very specific use cases for the end user.
I'm also an artist in my own time, and have built a few different apps that help people make art.
For each of these, the data gathered by the apps must be well documented and explained to the end user to be accepted by the App Store along with the purpose of that collection.
That's got me thinking, would the Apple App Store accept an app that does not collect any user data at all, but also has no true "purpose"? (Google Play Store too, though I expect their review process is so easy you can get just about anything up there anyways...)
I haven't found any relevant answers to this question online and might test it just for fun, but would love some insight by other curious developers if they have tried uploading apps just for fun
You might find the following section from the official App Store Review Guidelines useful:
4.2 Minimum Functionality
Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store. If your App doesn’t provide some sort of lasting entertainment value or adequate utility, it may not be accepted.
Does this include a purpose or does this mean that an app like you have suggested in your scenario gets rejected? Absolutely not.
After a quick google search, I have found the IsItMyBirthday app which lets you pick a date and it tells you if that date is today. Is this useful or unique? We could just look up the date in the calendar on the phone itself.
However, this could be considered a 'joke' and a joke has a purpose and might be considered as unique. An app that does nothing, could be considered a joke as well. It has a purpose and Apple might agree or disagree.
In my experience it can be very random on why an app gets rejected or accepted. For example one of our apps got rejected in version X for reason Y. We released a new version without changing Y and it was accepted.
I need to ask my clients to send me the udid of their iOS devices in order to add them to an adhoc distribution profile. The main problem is that they are used to iOS but not much to computers. Anyway, it would be a pain for me to explain them how to install iTunes (or even Xcode) to get the udid. Most of the tutorials which describe the iTunes process are in english, I don't want to loose time to translate one of them. And even if I do it, I fear that they will not appreciate loosing their time following it. Any suggestion ?
I use a web online tool at http://www.easy-udid.com to get my customers UDID, I think it's the easiest way for them.
Also you can use service http://udid.io
It is easier because you don't need to ask your clients to write your email address. You just send them link “http://get.udid.io/?mail=your#mail.com” and they will need only 5 taps to send UDID on "your#mail.com"
This question is no longer active - I have been officially notified by the company that we're dropping Android and going with a system that is specifically designed for business use.
In our two sister companies we installed almost 500 android phones assuming they'd have security capabilities similar to Linux that would allow us to provide business phones to our employees but limit their access to apps. Unfortunately we've since found out that we were hugely mistaken. Android has decided that whoever has possession of the phone should have full access to everything. Unfortunately for us this has been a business nightmare, with huge data overages, employees downloading and installing anything and everything they can get their hands on from Play Store, the apps we need to run constantly being stopped by the task manager because too many apps are running at the same time with our employees arguing that the apps are buggy or the phone is broken. Due to our type of operation, the phones are passed from one employee to another often for weeks at a time before a supervisor or technician has access to them.
We absolutely need to either secure the phones or get rid of them. So...
From within a service, how do I capture when an employee clicks on an unauthorized app either from the desktop or from the applications menu? I've spent the last 2 days searching Google for an answer, but have turned up nothing. I know it can be done, because I have a couple of apps on my personal phone that do so.
We're using Android 2.2
Why not uninstall Google play store from the phones? And any other apps which are not needed?
It might be easiest too just install a parental control app. Here's an example, though this particular one may not meet all your needs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiddoware.kidsplace
Have a look at the 3CX Mobile Device Manager. The sign up process is free and easy. Then you just need to download the app to each phone from GooglePlay and get it set up. I would be interested in knowing if you proceed with it and if it does everything you need it to.
Not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to check it out.
I want to access the GPS features in iOS, specifically on iPad through my app. Ultimately the goal is to be able to see who else nearby is currently running the app as well. Is this at all possible or practical to implement?
Entirely. Check out the documentation on Core Location. Typically the way an app like yours works is that any devices running the app submit their location to a script on your server, then query that script for any other devices nearby.
I tried GNUBOX which use bluetooth to connect to my computer then to the internet. It's very painful to set up (under windows more than under linux, but it's still painful, it works 1 time on 3).
I own a Nokia 6630 so there is no WLAN support. Is there any emulator? I'd need to know something like max width, max height etc... usability in general, any hint?
This may sound silly but you could consider getting a mobile tariff with unlimited data. In most European countries these are now available and are not too expensive.
I don't believe you would get a solid experience from any emulator.
Don't know if you're only limiting to the 6630 or not...if not, Opera Mini has a free simulator.
If you find yourself needing to do more testing on multiple devices, there's always Device Anywhere...but it definitely does not meet your requirement for free.
Can you use a data cable and IP pass through?
Since the 6630 is a Symbian phone, you should be able to use GNUbox to handle the connection. See http://xan.dnsalias.org/gnubox/
Keynote's MITE just launched a free version for content testing; it includes the 6630 along with more than 1600 other profiles and 11,000 user agent strings. You can access via LAN get the protocol details.
