Origami - the Facebook prototyping tool has some amazing UI effects.
Is there any way to actually use those when I'm building my app?
There's currently no way to include animations from origami into your app.
However...
Facebook announced Pop a few days ago, which is the animation engine they used in their app 'Paper'. You can hear all about it Here. And the good news is Pop integrates with Origami, making what you want possible, Pop will be open source (to be released very soon they said), so keep your eyes open for it.
You can use "Code Export" to export animation code in Origami 2.0.
Origami is for prototyping animations. If you want them to be real you have code them yourself. There is no export to code feature or something like that.
Joris Kuivers has released qc-mobile as mentioned in this blog. It is a starting point.

I believe there are a bunch of questions related to this, but they are all outdated.
I'm looking for a way to render a panorama/360 picture viewer in React Native. So far, all the libraries that try to use Google's VR SDK are outdated or broken, and not usable at all.
I have also tried to use a WebView (with react-360), but web views are just way too slow, doubles RAM usage, and worst of all, can't be used to render 360 pictures stored on the device.
I guess that another option would be to grab an OpenGL library and try to implement it myself, but that's probably a lot of work if there's something made already.
We've recently published the panorama viewer we are using in our apps. Hope it can help you too. #lightbase/react-native-panorama-view
What's the easiest way to go about indexing a React Native app so that content within the app appears in Spotlight searches?
If you're still interested in indexing your app content using React Native, I've written a plugin to do just that.
As you've figured out, there's no built-in react-native support for this. The only option for you to utilize the Core Spotlight framework capabilities is to create your own native module which will expose this functionality to your react-native code. You can also try to find someone who already wrote this module and made it open source, but I guess you've already tried that.
Since this is the only way, it is also the easiest... That said, it should be pretty easy to implement it yourself, assuming you have some experience with iOS development. If you run into problems you can post your code and I can point you in the right direction if necessary.
Today I have been using the sencha touch framework to build an mobile app. I was very impressed (like many others) with the fastbook app that they showed.
On the blog it says that sencha touch 2.2.0 uses a lot of techniques used in the fastbook app. However when I try their example they do not even come close to the responsiveness of fastbook. The transitions are not so smooth and if you tap their is the delay that most html5 apps have.
My question is can I somewhere find the sourcecode of fastbook? I would love to know how they did the "sidebar" navigation because that responds very "natively".
I am afraid that there is no way finding the sourcecode of Fastbook. Please read this link:

It would have been wonderful had they released it. But, incase if you are very specific on implementing slide navigation (Facebook-like) in Sencha Touch. This link will be a great help:
http://innofied.com/simplest-slide-navigation-with-sencha-touch-2-2/
Many of the Fastbook techniques (including animationQueue) are in Touch 2.2 and more will be in Touch 2.3 - which is in beta right now. The smooth side bar animation uses multiple iframes, and that's a part of Fastbook that is not (and won't be) in Touch 2.x because the API is not compatible with Touch 2 conventions. We didn't release source because Jacky used an edge build to create the app that used an experimental MVVM. We didn't want people to use this code in their apps because it was undocumented and not production quality.
You can see a much longer description of how Jacky did Fastbook in his SenchaCon 2013 session, which we'll be posting soon.

Together with an illustrator I want to create some screens with lots of animations/transitions (moving sprites). I need the illustrator to do the animation. He knows how to use AfterEffects so best would be some kind of timeline-tool to create the transitions/scalings/alphas etc.
My question is now: Is there some kind of tool out there that could be used to create animations and then export the used parameters to objective-c to import it to xcode?
Thanx!
To my knowledge: No.
We spend some time a couple of months back trying to find something similar to Expression blend, just for iOS, but without luck.
If you however are planing to make your app for MacOS and not iOS you can take a look at quartz composer. For iOS you could also take a look at storyboard (here is a link to fairly good tutorial), but I'm afraid your needs will not be met by the features of storyboard.
I found Flash2Cocos2D and I think this is the best solution available right now.
Also promissing: cocosbuilder!
Is it possible to simply take a picture and save it somewhere using a QTCaptureView and Apple's built-in iSight? I've seen lots of tutorials on recording video but none on simply taking a picture. Any help or guidance is appreciated!

You can do this with QTKit - the QTKit Application Programming Guide has a section for this titled, "Creating a Single-Frame Grabbing Application".
The better approach, however, is ImageKit's PictureTaker. It gives you the standard UI found in ImageBooth and other apps and is dead-simple to use in code.
I found the source of ImageSnap useful for understanding how to use QTKit to do this sort of thing. It is a simple command line application for taking pictures with the iSight camera.
