We implemented in-app rate dialog in two our applications, however one application has cool looking view with text description but another has only icon without text. We use SKStoreReviewController to show this popup and its API has only one method (two if count deprecated) to show popup and doesn't have any customization options. Both application were launched on the same device model with same iOS version differences only in theme settings, as you could see by popup color
How it's possible to turn weird-looking popup to cool-looking with text description on it?

I have a iOS app that wraps a website. When the user clicks a link in the wrapped website, I want to trap the event in my app and be able to get information about the link that was clicked. Is this something that can be done in Swift?
I'm relatively new to iOS app development and I'm working on an app that has been around for a while.
The short answer is "Yes". There are a couple of views that you can use in iOS to display web content. One such view is WKWebView.
If you look at the documentation at that link, close to the bottom of the page you will find a header for "Managing Navigation Through your Web Content".
What you do is create a WKNavigationDelegate that you attach to your WKWebView. That delegate is notified when the user wants to navigate through the web content (for example, when they click on a link) and lets your application code participate in the navigation process. It can allow navigation, deny navigation, find out when it starts and stop, things of that nature.
I have generated an MFMessageComposeViewController to send a preconfigured SMS message, and I now want to draw the user's attention to the send button. The user has already initiated the "send message" process from within the app, but they must then press the send button within the MFMessageComposeViewController to actually send the message. The send button in the standard MFMessageComposeViewController is "hidden away" in the bottom corner of the message body where some, not so tech-savvy users, struggle to find it (a fact not opinion, as I have had test users ask what to do next)!
Apple does not allow this message compose interface to be modified, except for certain exceptions. I have looked into the UIAppearance protocol, which provides limited options to modify aspects of the MFMessageComposeViewController, but the options do not apply to the send button.
I have looked into the documentation, and there are options to highlight or focus on interface objects using the accessibility options, but I can not find a way of linking this to the send button within the MFMessageComposeViewController where I have limited access to the UI components.
How do I highlight the send button within the MFMessageComposeViewController, or access the button so that I can draw the user's attention to it?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly highlight or modify the appearance of the send button within the standard MFMessageComposeViewController. This is because the interface provided by the MFMessageComposeViewController is not directly customizable and is intended to provide a consistent user experience across all iOS apps.
One solution to consider is to provide additional instructions or guidance to the user before they are presented with the MFMessageComposeViewController. This could include an on-screen message or tutorial that specifically points out the location of the send button within the interface, or providing a visual indicator such as an arrow or highlight box to guide the user to the correct location.
Another option is to present the MFMessageComposeViewController in a modal view controller and add additional instructions or guidance in the modal view controller.
Also, you can use the accessibility options to add a VoiceOver label to the button, which can be read out loud to the user when the button is in focus.
It's worth noting that Apple's HIG (Human Interface Guidelines) discourages from customizing the system's standard view controller. You should try to stick to the standard iOS interface so that the user can feel comfortable and familiar with the app.
I am trying to recreate a popular effect that all iPhone users have seen before on their settings page. Something like when selecting a wireless network. There is normally a title that says "Available Networks" with a blue arrow icon to the right. onClick there is an accordion style slide down effect to reveal the available networks.
I am trying to recreate this to use as a drop down input for my app's settings page since iPhone does not have anything like that in their storyboard builder interface. The other issue is the options will be dynamic (coming from a database).
Has anyone seen a tutorial on this or maybe an open source app I can use as reference.
I am using iOS 6.1 using Storyboards.
EDIT
I should have spent a little more time researching I am sure I would have have this post that was very helpful regardind the actual code for the drop-down not so much the dynamic data. How to create DropDown in xcode?
I want to create a Alphabet (Character) tracing and learning app.Which will be multilingual app.The font for different language will be attached in app resource folder. First user select language and fond. According to language selection the keyboard will be shown.Then user enter a character and trace. Is it possible to show keyboard according to language selection.Or I have to create custom keyboard.Please suggest me.
You have no control over which keyboard gets shown, unless you create a custom one, unfortunately. If you had control, you might request to show a keyboard that the user has not enabled in their settings and this would cause a problem. The only keyboards you can request to open are the ones listed in UIKeyboardType
I submitted my Wp7 app but it was rejected for the reason is
Application content, such as text and visual
elements, must be visible and legible regardless of
the phone theme. For example, if the phone
theme changes from black background to white
background, the text and visual elements of your
application must be visible or legible.
Test Process Required:
1. Navigate to the Settings page in the app list.
2. Tap theme and change Background to 'Dark'.
3. Launch the application.
4. Verify that the text and visual elements of the
application are visible and legible.
5. Navigate back to the theme page under
Settings, and change Background to 'Light'
6. Launch the application.
7. Verify that the text and visual elements of the
application are visible and legible.

To Solve this i showed a MessageBox to the User the first time he starts the application that the app is using his location and what the app is doing with it. Then you need to give an option in the application somewhere to turn the using of his location completely off, i added this to my apps settings page. And you could provide information about why you using location in a separate page and have the setting to turn it on and off there.
The MessageBox and the Turn off setting works my app got certified like this.
