How to perform latency test for native iOS Mobile App by simulating different geographical locations and measure the time taken for each real-time user actions in the Mobile App?
Please recommend any simple techniques
You can use AWS Device Farm. It allows to you select from a variety of devices in the AWS datacenters. https://aws.amazon.com/device-farm/

I own a Huawei band 6 and want to develop my own app to remote control the band and its sensors and then get data. Then I want to be able to send this data to a server through internet : to be able to access the health data (heart beat and Oximetry) of a remote patient.
If it seems more complicated, would it be easier to use Wear Os (Google) with another brand of the wearable ?
If you want to put an app directly onto the Huawei Band 6, it is currently not open to developers.
You can find a list of devices that are currently open to developers here. https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/connectivity-Guides/service-introduction-0000000000018585
Alternatively, I recommend integrating the Huawei Health kit into a phone app based on the use case you described. Health kit allows phone apps to access the health & fitness data collected by Huawei wearables.
To answer B.M's question:
That is correct, you do not have to change the watch for the phone app option. These are two distinctly different options that I have described. Developing a watch app is different from creating a phone app that integrates the Huawei Health Kit. Each one serves a different purpose, and based on your use case, I believe that the a phone app makes the most sense.
Watch App: Can be only be developed on specific Huawei Watch models.
Phone App: Works with all Huawei wearables when Huawei Health Kit is integrated.
Please note that Wear OS (Google) is not used on Huawei wearables and does not work with the Huawei Health Kit.
As of KitKat 4.4, the required proximity API is baked into the Nearby functionality of the Android OS. This means that Android devices no longer require an application to detect and interact with beacons.
iOS, however, still requires either an app or the chrome browser to do so with Google's beacons.
My question: With current technology, if a website is designed using Google's PWA standards, can it have the ability to detect and interact with beacons in the same fashion that an application would (regardless of the browser being used)?
Follow-up, if YES, would it be able to perform these tasks while open in the background?
The short answer is no, you generally cannot interact with beacons from web apps. This is true even on Android devices that use the Chrome browser. On Android, you can launch a web app on beacon detection using Nearby, but only if the user taps the Nearby notification.
Here's the longer explanation:
Android devices do support Google Nearby which allows you to send a notification to a user when your beacon is detected that can (a) launch a native app, (b) launch the Google Play store to install an app, or (c) launch a URL in the default browser.
When launching a URL, the URL can be to a web app and may include a URL parameter that tells it that the web app was launched by the beacon detection through Nearby. But once the launch of complete, the web app's interaction with beacons is over.
In order to have dynamic interaction with beacons, there must be web APIs that give the web app callbacks when beacons are detected. These currently do not exist. There is hope for this in the future using Web Bluetooth APIs (See: https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/), however they do not currently support scanning for arbitrary Bluetooth advertisements needed to detect beacons.
I recently have been very interested in developing iOS apps (for iPhone specifically) that can "communicate" with nearby (geographically) apps.
My networking skills/resources are limited, so I was really hoping to make it a peer to peer app, avoiding the need to host my own server.
It seems like I have a few options, including the newish Multi-peer Connectivity framework, and Location services.
I was hoping someone who has experience writing peer to peer apps could direct me to what they think the most logical approach would be.
Additonal info:
*I am only looking to send text/small pictures (speed is not a priority)
*Detecting nearby (within a mile or so) geographically is the main goal
*Possibly communicate with Android devices (I know multi-peer connectivity lacks this)
Peer-to-peer communication is limited to a range of about 50 meters. To extend the range you can create a mesh using intermediate peers to relay messages. That is how the Firechat app works.
If you want to communicate over greater distances without a mesh I believe you will need to go via the cloud
In terms of communicating with Android, the people who made FireChat are coming out with their SDK. Not sure how/what pricing will be but I assume they will offer this cross platform function. There are of course other ways but I am not that advanced in app development to know them yet.
For a simple chat app there are many free online tutorials that help you create iphone to iphone chat app that can also send images. Range will be limited however to whatever is max for WiFi. Like Keith said, mesh is another option but I believe everyone in the network has to have the app for the data to bounce.
I am using Google analytics for my Web application and iOS application.
iOS application is practically an equivalent of its Web counterpart (they have same views, same functionalities).
I would like to have a combined report analyzing usage of both iOS and Web app together.
That means sum of all pageviews, tracking user's actions...
Quantcast Measure is designed for cross platform (web and mobile app) audience measurement. It has both a web SDK and a mobile app SDK that allows to to combine your web and app audiences into one comprehensive report. Quantcast's profile of GoodReads is a good example of what it's cross platform reporting is about.
(Full Disclosure: I work at Quantcast)
Forget about your mobile application, just create a responsive design version of your web app.
You will still be able to determine what traffic comes from Mobile devices.
This is (a very simplified version of) the scenario with which I am faced:
I have an existing web application which manages jobs. We are now purchasing a number of ios devices (iphones and ipads) and I need the web application to know which specific device (regardless of the user) is updating information through the web application (as well as getting the GPS co-ordinates, but I think I have that covered with the geolocation API).
I have control of all the devices, they will all come to me before being distributed and will return to me periodically, so I can modify/restrict etc., but I can't jailbreak.
I have no experience of ios, but if there is a way to do this without needing an app, that would be the best choice.
You can use HTML5 storage to create and save a GUID the first time user accesses your website and send it with subsequent requests.
