I downloaded Nokia Counters and I dont understand how do they get sms count and call durations if there is no API that could support this?
Do they have any extra APIs?
Most likely they have deeper access. After all, it is only for their devices which means that they can not only exit sandbox, but access their own proprietary API.
It is similar to Youtube app, Adobe Reader app and deep links to marketplace.
I would really want to get access to such API :/

I'm building a sonos control application that should basically have the same functionality as the sonos app.
I'm using the API at https://developer.sonos.com/ and I am able to control a sonos speaker, play, pause etc. but I can't find how to search/browse music.
Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, where do I find the commands?
(I know this has been asked before but that was over 3 years ago)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Robert.
The Sonos Cloud API is too lame to offer content browsing and searching.
You use ContentDirectory.Browse per the UPnP documentation to enumerate and search everything except music service content.
Over the past few weeks, I've spent some time researching about Instagram automation the goal being to have a program that can like and comment for me. I've come up with the following solutions:
Use a browser automation library like selenium to navigate through Instagram's website.
Cons: really botchy code that becomes useless as soon as Instagram renames their css classes which they do from time to time
Have a Android emulator running and automate that.
Cons: every instance of that emulator would require like 2 gigs of storage and would be really inefficient.
So how do for example apps on the play-/app store do it? They only have the small processing power of the phone available and still run effortless in the background.
Is there another solution that I'm missing?
The most efficient way to automate Instagram is to use the Instagram API. Using that API you can publish photos with users, tags and locations [1]. I don't find any immediate mention of Stories etc., but most likely if you work more with the API you find where/how to do that.
The also linked Instagram Platform API seems to be in a state of discontinuation.
As you tagged your question "Selenium", no, Selenium does not provide a reasonable approach for interfacing with Instagram as Selenium provides no way to make POST requests. You could try to automate the website through Selenium, but using the API is far more straightforward, less prone to layout changes and the officially sanctioned way.

The way I did it at the end was that I used the Instagram Private API for Instagram on GitHub:
https://github.com/ping/instagram_private_api
That way I didn't have to emulate an entire device actually browsing through Instagram.
After a thoroughly research it seems I can't find a way to integrate HealthKit on a cross platform application as it seems it doesn't provide a REST API and the code has to be exclusively written in either objective-c/swift.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there really no way to retrieve the data from healthkit on a cross platform app?
You're not missing anything. HealthKit data is stored exclusively on the user's iPhone, not in the cloud accessible from a web service.
I have recently published my first Mac app onto the Mac App Store, forgive me if this is a stupid question but i can find no place on iTunes Connect that shows the analytics for it, the App Analytics section on iTunes Connect only shows my iOS app? There must be somewhere to see how many units i have sold?
So i contacted apple an there reply was:
App Analytics is available only for iOS developers at this time, and it reports data only from customers using iOS 8 and above. Therefore you will not see data from your Mac app.
If you would like, I can submit feedback on your behalf for a possible future enhancement. If this is something you would like me to do, please reply with a clarification of your request, and I will be happy to send it up for you.
So the short answer is there is nowhere for you to find how many downloads/revenue you have earned. Which is well, shit
I want to access UCWA API in android code. Is it possible?.
If possible, pls give me an idea and hello world program.
does UCWA API support for Video Chat and Screen Sharing?
Yes, UCWA is a REST based API, so there's no reason why you wouldn't be able to access it from an Android app. Your best bet is to look through the samples on http://ucwa.lync.com/
There are no known Java libraries available, so you have to do all of that on your own. Paul's link is a good place to start, however you might also find the MS pages on a C# implementation useful(1), they certainly are cleaner than the Javascript based samples at http://ucwa.lync.com/
As for supporting video chat and screen sharing, the answer for now seems to be no. UCWA may be able to initiate these on the users Lync client though.
