Is there a way I can display Traffic in an iOS7 app using Mapkit? I believe it can be achieved if Google Maps SDK for iOS is used but can it be done using iOS's Mapkit?
I'm sure you've noticed that the MKMapView's showsTraffic is only available on iOS 9+.
mapView.showsTraffic = true
In order to achieve this on a pre-iOS 9 application, you'll need to bring in a map tile from an external source to display the traffic. There are several services that do this, I'm not sure what their pricing/free products are. It looks like Here has a good api for it. Once you find the service you want to use to serve your traffic map tiles, you can integrate them into your map app using an MKTileOverlay: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38722623/12470155

It's not the responsibility of Telegram API to support swipes. This will be down to the UI library you are using to build your app. All native apps should support swipes by default, however, by the looks of your UI widget you are trying to implement a Carousel as there are forward and back icons. If you let us know what platform you are targeting, what language / framework you are using there should be loads of useful suggestions.
I would like to use use Google Map in my MAC application.
I found the iOS SDK of Google Maps but not for OS X.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
Below is the way I find out that can work:
Call a API and pass the location coordinate for both annotation.
Now Server side a html form is generate using javascript and create a page which is showing the 2 annotation and line connecting them.
In Api Response I will get the URL of that html page.
I will show this page in UIWebView.
I want to know is there any other way I can achieve this.
I want to distribute application outside the mac app store and to distribute outside mac store I need to sign app with Developer ID which does not support the MAPs.
I didn't find anything related to this that's why I created this thread.
Thanks in advance.
I recently ported the Mapbox iOS SDK over to OS X. It has a lot of the features of MapKit, but it’s open source and should also work in a developer-signed application such as yours. To use the Mapbox OS X SDK, download the latest release from the GitHub repository (look for releases beginning with “osx-”) and follow the instructions in README.md. An API reference is included.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
To display the annotations on-screen, you’ll need the MGLPointAnnotation and MGLPolyline classes. You can move the point annotations dynamically by setting their coordinate properties. The polyline, however, is immutable; to change its path, remove the existing polyline and add a new one with the new coordinates.
You will have to make it with WebKit and the Google Maps API.
MapKit is available in OS X 10.9 Mavericks: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MapKit/Reference/MapKit_Framework_Reference/index.html
There are of course many ways of hiding the fact that you're using WebKit but if they violate Apple's or Google's TOS then submission to the App Store won't be possible.
Hope this will be helpful!
I am working on an application where is want to show the user his heading location, like in Apple maps (magnetic direction) which is a small triangle and will rotate as the user moves physically using the app. I am using Google Maps SDK and would like to know if Google provides this option, i have researched a bit but dint get. Also, their official Google Map App doesn't have the feature.
Also i would like to know if there is any other better option for the same.
Simply add mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES; should works for your require.
Except you want this feature works well in China.
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:

If I wanted to create a mobile app that allows the user to take pictures with their phone, record audio notes and record video, how would I do that?
I was browsing through the Sencha Touch 2 API and while I see documentation on video and audio files, it seems like it is just providing a way for me to access files stored on the phone - not actual triggers to record, or take pictures.
Am I missing something?
How would I do what I want?
In order for Sencha Touch to have access to your phone capabilities, you need to use a product like Phone Gap
Unless there is a HTML5 api for doing those sorts of things I don't think you can do that. I know on PhoneGap there are native extensions added into that platform for access to things like microphone, camera, etc. I don't know if Sencha Touch has added any of those sorts of extensions in order for you do this.
Just thinking out of the box here, but you might be able to put Sencha javascript into a Web View from within an Android Java process. Then the Java code could expose an object in its process as an extension point to the Javascript engine for access to Camera, Microphone, what not.
