I want to ask a question about the iPhone application. I use the Xcode to write the iPhone application about the calendar and the simulator is 3.1.3.
However, I cannot see the Calendar app. (The simulator only displays the 1. Photos and 2. Settings). Do I need to set something or download from the Internet in order to see the Calendar app? Thank you very much.
Unfortunatelly the iPhone simulator does not come with the calendar app. However you can still store and retrieve data from the calendar database, which is part of the system databases and will be stored at the iOSUserDomain. See Using iPhone Simulator for more info.
Even though this question is old, I found myself asking it last week and solved my issues by running the simple sample app for EKEventKitUI. It let me add events in the calendar db and see the events my app was adding/editing.
As mentioned earlier, iPhone simulator does not come with the Calendar app.
The data is still stored at the calendar database which should be located at something like:
/Library/Application Support/iPhone
Simulator/3.1.3/Library/Calendar/Calendar.sqlitedb
But this is an encrypted file and cannot be opened with an sqlite DB application like MesaSQLite.
A simple hack seems to be to run the sample app for the EKEventKitUI framework from the iOS Developer Library and use it to see (and edit) the events list.
Current link to download it is here.
N.B. this is a consolidated answer from various other answers found on SO and outside. Credit to everyone else who answers I drew on for this.

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 just developed my first app for windows phone and put it into the windows phone app store. Everything worked fine, I got the message the app was accepted, so I started looking for it in the app store. Many searches later I still couldn't find it.
The other strange part was, that I can't even find it with the direct link which I get under "Link zum Store" (German, stands for: link to store) When I click the link, I 404 page.
Any reason why this is the case, I made the app available in all countries, regions and windows phones 8.1 . The link to the app is: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=f383f584-a864-4f07-a4bc-5c709f750865
Depending on when the app got published, it might take some time for it to propagate and become available through direct links or search.
For example, I can already see your app through direct link, I can also see it in Windows Phone Store through that link and install it.
it takes a couple of days... MS makes it seem like it will be instantaneous...
My first app took 3 days to "show up"... hurry up and wait :-)
I'm writing an app that will let me manually edit my iTunes music library from outside of iTunes using a SQL-like syntax. I know how to edit the library, but I want to be able to run my track info against some kind of online database to get the right info. I found GraceNote, which seems to be the big name when it comes to music databases (iTunes actually uses it), but I'm not sure how to connect to their database. I registered into their developer program, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I just want to know where I can get a connection string and table info.
Have you tried Gracenote's Web API?

If you are creating an iOS or Android app, then you should use their Mobile Client SDK:

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 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,

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
