I have a paid App and I'm introducing a free, ad-supported version of this Ad. There are AdMob banners at the bottom of most screens.
What should I use as screenshots in iTunes?
Screenshots with actual ads?
Screenshots with empty space where the ads are supposed to be (taken in airplane mode)?
Screenshots from the paid version, without ads and with more data on the screen?
I've browsed through quite a lot of ad-supported Apps in iTunes. The vast majority of them don't show any ads in their screenshots and don't have empty ad space either.
I personally don't modify my screenshots. I almost feel like I'm tricking the user into downloading my app if I remove the ads. A lot of people feel differently though.

I need to develop a web project for mobile devices. And I met an awkard situation.
This is customer's desire. A user come to the bar. He scan QR image with a phone camera, a banner appears to ask if he want to open the browser menu or an app.
Well, as a web developer this seems absolutely impossible. But the problem is that the customer claims that this is the most common UX those days. I am not sure what does it mean. Have you seen any kind of thing like this and know how to do it? Or is it just a customer's imagination?
Even if they implemented this via app, I just want to know how they were able to show the banner on a camera. Thanks in adavance.
What technical requirements or methods do I need to implement to make my app appear in the URL browser under "app Store" suggestions in safari? This is what happens if I am typing in "slack" straight into the url bar of safari. It also appears if I haven't installed slack at all --> that's what I would like to implement as well.
Is that a auto suggestion-tool by safari which we can not influence at all?
Any hints to make that happen? Here's an image of Slack on Safari:
Thanks a lot!
These suggestions are known as Safari or Siri Suggestions, and appear to be controlled solely by Apple/Safari itself.
One source on Quora says,
“Siri Suggested Websites” are search results that come directly from Apple’s own search engine, based on websites they’ve crawled and indexed. It’s not based on your search history (or even anything you’ve done with Siri).
I wonder if your app would show up as a Suggestion if it was unique or popular enough in Apple's search indices...
I manage a website that serves banner ads using Google DFP.
A couple customers have been asking for daily screen-shots of the website which show thier ad in place. While most advertisers are happy with a report showing impressions/clicks, a couple are demanding the screen shots.
I have found a few tools that can get a screen shot from a specific page on a scheduled basis. I am running into 2 problems with most of these...
1) The "screen shot" does not always reflect what the site looks like after all of the javascript has applied. I need to wait until the javascript finishes before the screen shot is saved
2) I rotate mulitple ads into positions. I do not have a way to control which ad appears when the screen shot is taken.
Is this a common request to get?
Has anyone come up with an honest solution to either of these questions?
You can use irobotsoft tool. Go to your website, then use:
CapturePage(filename)
to capture the page into an image file. You can let it capture on a fixed schedule, or test the ad content before capturing.
I am currently trying to find the most efficient way to continue a method in the background of my app.
I am probably adding location/gps to my app soon, so I was considering using that flag to keep the app Active in the background. However, I do not want to add that flag yet because I want to post an App Update before I add the location functionality.
I know the exceptions;
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 support Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
Newsstand apps that need to download and process new content
Apps that receive regular updates from external accessories
Besides asking for a more generic idea then these ^, can someone explain the "external accessory" flag please? I am recording video from an outside device. However, I do not know what constitutes an "external accessory".
I also see that iOS7 has introduced new Multi-tasking functionality but I haven't seen any examples that I understand can someone also explain that? Maybe that is a viable solution?
Thanks in advance!
I've seen the Google blog article explaining the way to embed youtube videos in an iOS app. I've successfully embed videos in my iOS app. BUT, I've seen the WhoSampled app where they are able to play Vevo/youtube videos. Somehow they are able to play those videos and my app is not able to play them. (In my app, there is a blue play circle with a line through it showing that is not playable.)
How do I allow those videos to be playable?
Do I have to setup the youtube link in a specific way or is there a way I need to setup the developer key?
There is a way to get the actual video stream for a given YouTube video instead of the HTML-embedded one. See this project:
https://github.com/hellozimi/HCYoutubeParser
The problem with this approach is that it will likely violate the EULA of YouTube APIs, especially if you are releasing it in a paid application:
In addition, please remember that attempting to play a YouTube video outside of either the YouTube embedded, custom or chromeless player is strictly prohibited by the API Terms of Service.

You just have to use the iframe embed as opposed to the Flash one.
