I am the founder of a Covid-19 relief nonprofit. I'm writing an app to accept donations and provide news and event information to anyone who has the app. I was wondering if there's any easy way to integrate a Paypal donation system into this? I thought BraintreeIOS would work but it seems to be outdated and doesn't support SwiftUI, only Swift.
Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?
The Native Checkout SDK might be overkill for donations. Most simply, open the following in a web browser or SafariViewController with an address bar:
https://www.paypal.com/webscr?cmd=_donations&item_name=STRING%20DESCRIBING%20PURPOSE%20OF%20DONATION¤cy_code=USD&business=EMAIL_ADDRESS_OR_MERCHANT_ID
Use merchant ID from https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/account/aboutBusiness , though primary email of PayPal account also works
You can even prefill the amount with &amount=xxx%2exx (though that gives no option for monthly recurrence)
For more see HTML Variables for PayPal Payments Standard, it's a legacy Web 2.0 integration but it gets the job done

I am not at all familiar with swift or iOS developmet (I only have python / SQL experience) so I am sorry if this is a stupid question.
How do iOS developers embed specific data such as a rating or review from other sites into an app that would hypothetically gather this data from several different websites?
So for example, for video game reviews app, the app wants to have the rating or review number from different sites that are all built and formatted completely differently, how does the iOS dev pull this specific data into a SQL table or into the iOS app itself? I imagine that the iOS app would talk to SQL first, but how does the link between the sites and the back-end environment connect?
How have you implemented this before, or how have you seen / heard of this being implemented?
Can this be done without scraping / hurting SEO?
You don't access their databases directly.
This can be achieved using the service API or through Web Scraping.

I am very new to ASP.net. I am trying to build a webform that searches an artist and displays their top 5 songs from spotify. My biggest problem as of now is figuring out where to put the code and what code to use so that I can receive this data from spotify. I have already made a spotify developer account with an app. I have the client ID and Client Secret. I think I need to figure out a way to authenticate. Any help or websites that could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Why not read the actual Spotify API docs, it will have everything you need.
Just looking at https://developer.spotify.com/ the entire top of the page is trying to push you to the docs and I'm even seeing they provide web console to test out code and ideas.

With the new app-extension kit, I'd like to know if it's possible to build an app that tracks various usage statistics of other apps. For e.g., the no of times someone uses their calculator or the no of minutes spent on Quora.
This is a really nice idea to enhance the ability of iOS system. However, even in iOS8 this is unlike to achieve. Apple has offered so limited APIs for APPs to access other APPs. In those APIs, I cannot find any one to record other APPs' launching or closing. (Except you call that from your own APP so that you can record the time, but this is meaningless.)
In the official document for App Extension Programming, manager for APP is not a type that is mentioned in the guide. I'm afraid that you have read it and it cannot give you more help.
I tried to do research on the most detail list of iOS APIs to find whether this is possible. But since iOS5.0, Apple no longer provided the API diffs. Here is the search result.

I am new to the rails world and am in the process of setting up a small rails app for a client. One of the requirements is that the user enters their credit card which gets charged for a specified amount.
I haven't had much experience with payment systems. I believe active merchant gem can be used for this purpose but how does actually charging the card work out and for testing purpose will I be able to charge a dummy account? From your experience, is it safe to go with a provider like paypal?
You should checkout ActiveMerchant.
FYI Peepcode has a post on this:
http://peepcode.com/products/activemerchant-pdf
Watch out, if you store or accept credit cards directly on your website you need to be PCI DSS compliant.
There are a number of solutions out there to overcome this issue, the first notably is to delegate the payment infrastructure to a third party like Recurly, since it also operates in Europe with different providers, but it's more on recurring payment.
The primary choice in US would be Braintree or the newest Stripe.com.
Braintree has another solution to keep the user never leave your site, it's called Transparent Redirect.

I’m currently trying to find a way of sending Instagram DMs to specific users via an API (im building an iOS app and this is one of the functionality im trying to build). I know there are solutions that currently offer that (like Jarvee or Instazood) however none of them seems to offer an API that will allow me to do that in my own app. Given that Instagram current legacy of Instagram API that seems to allow DM will be discontinued on Dec 1st, I cant seem to find an option that enables me to do that. Any idea guys ?
Hey you can use https://github.com/dilame/instagram-private-api to send dm's to your user.
It's written in node but you can find other libraries in other languages
