I am new in iPhone and I don't know much about iPhone Technology. I Searched on Stack Overflow but not got any proper solution regarding my Query.
What I need is, I want to Create One Application for iPhone3 as well as iPhone4 WHICH ALLOWS USERS TO VIEW THEIR EXISTING TEXT MESSAGES(only SENT and RECEIVED) FROM "MESSAGE"[of iPhone menu] through a DIFFERENT SCREEN COLOR and BRIGHTNESS SETTING.
Please give me some Suggestion/Helpful Link or any Hint Regard my query. How I start To Code My Application. THANKYOU ALL
Regard,
Tauseef
It looks like it's possible to read stored messages but you'll also gona have to learn something about SQlite.
Take a look at the links here (the accepted answer and link in the comments): read iphone sms messages?
But this will work only on jail-broken iPhones and certainly will not be approved for App Store.
You'll find the location of database in sebsto's answer to this question: iphone app reading sms

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 am making an iPhone app and need to be able to minimally see when a message comes in, when I myself look at it, and when I answer it. I need to see when this happens on the message app that is within the iPhone iOS. I have been looking around for a solution on this and have not been able to find one.
Is this possible to access this data on the iPhone or is it completely closed off?
There is no Messages SDK available currently (as of iOS 8.1) that would allow a developer to interact with (or receive) messages.
The most you can do is to share content through MFMessageComposeViewController.
Be aware other search results suggesting you can use CoreTelephony - you app will be rejected by Apple because CT is a private framework.
I've updated my iPhone app to support the iPhone 5 screen..
I've done this before for another app and I was forced to upload new screenshots taken with the iPhone 5.
This time however, iTunes Connect just displays the status as "waiting for review" and isn't mentioning anything about the screenshots..
I'm slightly worried something has gone wrong? App works great on iPhone 5 and simulator though.
It turns out Apple can block apps during the review process that have something wrong with metadata. If they decide your metadata is wrong they'll just change your app's status to "Metadata Rejected".
Here's the quote from the rules for this status:
Appears when specific metadata items aside from your binary have not
passed review. To resolve the issue, edit the metadata in iTunes
Connect and your existing binary is then reused for the review
process. You receive a communication from App Review in the Resolution
Center regarding the reason for the metadata rejection.
When things change to the AppStore (Apple adds a device) they might require you to get new screenshots. But if nothing changed in their system, it's normal that they don't ask.
Don't worry!
They copy over the screenshots from your last version of the app (or is your Retina4 screenshot section in itunesconnect empty?). So if you don´t want to update them, it should be okay like this.
Chances are your app has not hit review (and now as of the 21st) and won't be reviewed until after the 29th. Once your app hits review, it will become rejected for the missing screenshots. If you want to save yourself some time and pain, update the screenshots while Apple is on their downtime for the Christmas holiday. You'll thank yourself later.
My app got accepted yesterday, no word about the screenshots.
App works fine on iPhone 5, mailed Apple to complain this probably is a bug (iTUnes Connect does not recognize localized Default.png, which is what is checked to verify it is iPhone 5 optimized I believe.)
I have gone through many of similar post that I have asked here. I have understood that there is no public API for doing this in iOS devices and if we use the private API for this purpose, apple will not accept it too. But I have found an application in itunes which does the same feature.
Here is the link :
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sticky-notes-hd-with-bump/id364874025?mt=8
If apple do not support this, how this application is in Appstore. Then they may have did this in some other way. So I hope this feature can be implemented somehow.
Does anybody have any idea regarding this.
Thanks in advance
Thats impossible to do.
Have you bought the app you referenced to? Did you see it?
The app that you reference generates a picture that you -- by hand -- need to set as lockscreen/wallpaper.
One thing that goes in that direction is the MPNowPlayingInfoCenter; it allows you to set what's being shown in the "now playing" info on the lock screen, but that's about how far you will get.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience of submitting location-specific apps to the Apple App store.
What I mean by location-specific is an app that only works when you are at a particular location. For example, a GPS tour of a historical battleground might have content that is triggered at particular lat/long coordinates when the user is at the actual physical location.
So my question is: In order to make the app be likely to be accepted on the app store do I..
(1) Not worry about it as there's evidence that the Apple Reviewers have some way of simulating the GPS. I can then supply lat/long coords to the reviewers so they can experience some of the content.
or (I suspect more likely)
(2) I Need to make it work anywhere in order for the reviewer to see at least some of the content (e.g. have a menu or map interface that allows direct access). This could be a 'secret' option explained in the review notes accessed via a special key combination or something.
Has anyone else run into a situation like this?
Regards,
Ben
Edit: Thanks for the responses. My app has now been accepted by Apple. Interestingly I didn't need to make the app work anywhere or add any new methods of using the app at all, they simply asked me for a video of the app in action. I made a YouTube video of the app (unlisted of course) and sent it to the reviewers.. and now it's accepted! I was very surprised that this is how it worked out!
I asked this same question (and answered it myself) a while back. I basically added a "Drop Pin" feature so the testers (and users) could pretend to be somewhere else.
I submitted an app recently that "works anywhere" (and uses GPS) but "works best" in New England when looking for data (on our server) that is near your current location. The app also supports entering a city & state or zip code to perform searches. So, in the submission, you can tell the reviewers how to test it, and we explained the nature of the app and how to test the functionality by using specific New England locations. The app was approved, for what it's worth.
Basically, when you submit an app, there is an opportunity to give the reviewers guidance. So definitely tell them what they need to know to make your app work for them, wherever they might be in the world! :-)
