In iPhone Health App, My family has shared information to me. Can I get these information in my app?
I try to get information in "Healthkit", but I can always obtain personal data only. Is there any way to get family health data?
Short answer: No
Longer answer:
To access health data, an app needs to request access from the user. The user can decide if they want to share the data with the app and what data they want to share. Before sharing they may consider the data that is being requested, the privacy policy of the app and so on.
If an app was able to access family health data that had been shared with you then the family member is being denied the opportunity to decide what data to share or whether to share any data with the app. You cannot consent to the sharing on their behalf.

I have an app which is connected to Firebase.
I have set the rules in the database so that one user (lets name it testUsr) has the permission to read the database but not write to it.
In the iOS app I implemented the login function to the firebase, BUT I hard coded the username and password for the testUsr.
So my question is that will my app get rejected for that hard coded user authentication if I publish it someday?
Yes, your application will be rejected by Apple because you are using a login service without implementing login with Apple (According to the most recently issued guidelines). They might make an exception though if the whole process happens in code alone—I'm not sure but I would avoid the hassle.
Why is a login required at all? Can't you just make your database on the firebase side read-only without the need of a sign-in at all? You can alter the rules in your database I'm thinking something like. Let me know if it doesn't work and ill do some more researching.
// Allow read/write access on all documents to any user signed in to the application
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /{document=**} {
allow write: if request.auth.uid == "**YOUR MAC ACCOUNT**";
allow read;
}
}
}

I am currently new to ios so I do need help in this. I am trying to probe the sandbox of an iphone to retrieve any data from an application such as contacts. From what I know, I need to have understanding of c/obj c programming and understand the features of the mobile with regards to sandbox. So for my questions,
1)How should I get myself started?
2)Are there any features of the mobile regarding about sandbox should I need to understand before proceeding? (Some examples would be great)
3)Do I need to create my own application such as an app that stores contacts to probe on(using XCode)?
4)Any critical information that I missed out?
Much help is needed. Thanks. This is for educational purposes
The sandbox is given to you by iOS, no need to set up or anything. The sandbox means that your app is limited in accessing system resources, specifically file system, documents and settings. It can play only in its "sandbox". But there is no mock like environment that you can use for testing.
For more info on the sandbox, check out the iOS Programming Guide.

I've got an iPad that's got some important data stuck inside one of the apps, with no way to get it off (basically, it has a syncing problem with an external server). It's a third party app from the app store. I'd like to manually access the app's data, in the hope that I can extract it manually. How do I go about this using iTunes/XCode?
Install iExplorer, plug the iPad into your Mac and then use iExplorer to retrieve the data files.
Update: When I wrote this answer in 2013, this above was the case. However, Apple changed the security model in iOS 8.3 so that it's no longer possible for third party apps to access files in the app sandbox.
The makers of iExplorer have a detailed support page covering this issue.

Should HIPAA complinace not allow offline storage in Mobile Native Applications??I dont know if already there is this sort of regulation in HIPAA. I assume there is no such thing.
If you feel this question need not be asked in this forum, I request you to completely read this and suggest a programmatic solution for this problem.
Main reason why this came up was that all of the security considerations regarding the Mobile development may be specifically in iOS seems to have been hacked in to once a device is jailbroken or rooted.
I came to know that hardware encryption is hacked.
http://anthonyvance.com/blog/forensics/iphone_encryption/
Then there are questions on iOS 4's encryption techniques.
People claim, Key chain access in iOS can be compromised if the phone is rooted.
Only thing I think which has not met with any skepticism is the sqlCipher.
If you could find any flaws with SqlCipher , please share it.
And I think that, until people find a theft-proof way to manage offline data in Mobile Phones, people can refrain from making offline features for EMR apps where HIPAA compliance is mandatory.
It can be argued that, any system can be hacked when people are desperate to hack it. But I feel Mobile devices can be an easy target. You can lose it as you lose your Handkerchief.
Please share your views.
I agree with bshirley. Your surface of vulnerability is much greater if you are storing many records about many people on the device. But if you are only storing limited info about one person temporarily - as when conducting a query for prescription info or gathering information about a current health problem - then the risk is much lower. Of course you also need to consider whether the hacked phone presents a security risk to the online data, that is, does the app on the phone enable a wrong user to access protected data online?

I have an eBook in ePub format and want to release as an app on the Apple App Store ?
How can I go about it?
Does apple need the ISBN code?
Can I just integrate one ebook in the app?
There are some requirements though but help is available.You'll need to have:
ISBN numbers for the books you want to distribute
the ability to deliver the book in EPUB format
the book pass EpubCheck 1.0.5+
a US Tax ID (sorry world, this is only open to the US at this point)
an iTunes account backed up by a credit card
If you can't provide listed requirment
If you don't know how to get an ISBN
number or potentially want to get paid
faster, Apple suggests that you use an
Apple-approved aggregator. These are
firms that have a financial
arrangement with Apple and can provide
a number of services at what seems to
be a reasonable cost. Each aggregator
delivers a different set of services
Here is one of top Approved Aggregators
http://apple.libredigital.com/
you can find others google it
If you want to make it into an app, then you need to develop an ebook reader if sorts. In that case, Apple does not need the ISBN. You likely can integrate just one book, but remember to include enough functionality so that Apple will not consider your "app" to be of little entertainment value.
Alternatively, you can apply for the iBook store.
