I am developing app for iPad and i want to send text message(not iMessage) from my app. Is it possible through iPad which has WiFi with Cellular?
No this is not possible, since the iPad does not have any support for SMS. Even Apples own Messages.app does not support SMS on iPad.
You would need to setup an external server that handles sending the actual texts. As for making the app send texts using the iPad's GSM signal it is impossible

I am new to iPhone app programing and I am looking to make a simple app that can send and recieve a basic push notification. This notification would then trigger an action within the app when recieved. This cannot be sent over bluetooth or wifi as it will be over a long distance. How could I set this up?

I read iOS Programming Guide, and I found not only "audio, location, voip", but also "External Accessory & Newsstand apps" are allowed in background mode. documents are as following:
In iOS, only specific app types are allowed to run in the background:
Apps that play audible content to the user while in the background,
such as a music player app
Apps that keep users informed of their location at all times, such as a navigation app
Apps that supportVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
However, I couldn't find the value for External Accessory in "Required background modes" key. Only I can choose is "App plays audio, App registers for location updates, App provides Voice over IP services".
Is it impossible to receive data from External Accessory when app is background mode ?
Thanks.
Though I couldn't select from lists, I could type "external-accessory", and it worked well.

What is the best method to transfer file via wifi from one ipad to another?I know how to handle the wifi network connection.But i need to know the most efficient way to transfer imajges , video etc from one ipad to another
You may want to look at https://github.com/robbiehanson/CocoaAsyncSocket - you can use it as a TCP server/client to transfer files between ipads.
I've used it between a laptop and iPad, but it will work iPad to iPad also.
I am having a mute button in my app,when an incoming call comes when I tap on to that button the incoming call's ringtone should become mute.
Can anyone suggest me how to do this programatically.
Thanks to all,
Monish.
Applications cannot alter core functionality of the device. As such, you cannot interfere with the phone capabilities. Therefore, what you are asking for is not possible.
I am, of course, assuming that you haven't jailbroken your phone.
how can I tell programatically if the bluetooth is turned on or of on the device?
And in ethier case turn it off or on programatically?
thanks
Are you talking about the popup that appears when you run the GKTank application while bluetooth is turned off? I suspect this is a function of the PeerPicker class - I haven't seen a way to query the bluetooth status directly.
However if you attempt to make a bluetooth call when bluetooth is off you'll receive a GKSessionCannotEnableError error code (Bluetooth is not currently available).
There's currently no way to interface with Bluetooth unless you join the Made for iPod / Works With iPhone program for some hardware you're developing.
