Is it possible to send a QR code from a WKWebView based iPhone application to iPhone wallet?
I tried to find questions and answers on Google, but I didn't find any answers or solutions.
You will need to compile and sign a pass bundle (for security this should be done on a server, not in the app), download the bundle to your app, and then invoke the PKAddPassesViewController to add the pass to the user's wallet.
There's very comprehensive documentation available here, or you could use a service provider to handle the server side pass creation and management.

Existing user of the app will send email to other user.
Other user may have app installed or not installed on their device.
The email will contain some token. Now I want to pass that token to my app. I have read that by deep-linking, its possible. But how will I handle the case when other user have not installed my app yet in their IOS device.
Any help is appreciated.
What you're describing is called Deferred Deep Linking (Deep Linking refers to using a link to open your app, even directly to a specific piece of content, and Deferred means that it works even if the app isn't installed first).
Unfortunately there's no native way to accomplish this yet on either iOS or Android. URL schemes don't work, because they always fail if the app isn't installed. Apple's new Universal Links in iOS 9 get closer, but you'd still have to handle redirecting the user from your website to the App Store
A free service like Branch.io (full disclosure: they're so awesome I work with them) can handle all of this for you though. Here's the docs page covering exactly how to create email links like you described: https://docs.branch.io/pages/emails/email-partners-list/
I want to create a cross promotion on my app, and give bonus stuff after user installs and runs my other applications. Is there any easy way to do this? I have looked at the iOS8 plugins functions, but this also needs to work on iOS7. Any suggestions?
Use custom URL schemes in both your apps and after that just check if the iOS system has the URL scheme registered. If so, then the user had installed the other app.
Here's an example on how to do it.
For this to work across multiple devices I'd probably say you'd need to implement a webservice that stores the users information such as a unique identifier for that user (Not device) so something like the users username and update it with the new app that they have just downloaded and installed and signed in using that username.
If this is just on a per device basis you could probably do it using Custom URL Schemes. Each of your apps would have a Custom URL Scheme and when the user opens the app you can do a check to see if any of the other Custom URL Schemes are installed on that device by using [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:] and if this returns true then that app is installed.
Here's the Apple Documentation for Inter-App Communication
I want to fetch the list of near by wifi networks and able to connect to them from our App in ios, and my Application is Enterprise App so even private api's is also fine. Stuck this issue since 2 weeks, please provide me some references..
What you require will only work on JailBroken devices, the blog(blog.guvenergokce.com/iphone-wireless-scanner-ios5/170) which #Ckouta referred also has one comment from the Blog Admin,
I’m assuming that your device is already jailbroken (otherwise not possible)
You shall create release build of sample app and upload release build in to /Applications folder.
(you can use open ssh for that )
Public API allows you to have only information about the current wifi used by your device using CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo
In order to fetch all the wifi available in your area, take a look at: Stumbler which is using MobileApple80211. I think, it handles what you are looking for. Moreover, you can also use it to connect your device to a specific wifi. You can find a good example of what you need here (answer #9)
Just keep in mind, if you are using private API, your app will be rejected by Apple.
Although it's late but have a look at this link. You can do what you want with the use of MobileWifi.framework and thanks to Cykey there are some reversed headers to use. I have done what you want myself using the link above:)
Objective: i want to fetch my custom parameter(referrer) from iTunes link upon installation of my application in device.
iTunes links look somethings like this:
https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/complete-gym-guide-lite/id550449574?mt=8
If i append my parameter say(&referrer=xyz)at the end and i open this url in ios safari browser then it will prompt to download the application.
Confusion: will app store send my parameter(referrer) to my application on launch so that i can fetch it in my application and use it.
In case of Android play store link look like this: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=&referrer=guid%3D%guid%
As you can see referrer parameter at the end of url. Once app is installed in device then play store will send this parameter to app using INSTALL_REFERRER broadcast receiver. We can use this parameter.
What i tried OR Other people doing for conversion tracking: Other people are simply sending static data to their server at the first time opening of app and maintain a flag in NSDefault to make sure that app does not send same data again. I can also do the same as well as alternate ways suggested in below links but i want to do something with custom parameter.
I have already seen below links:
iOS - track which ad campaigns my installs are coming from
Tracking iOS installs from multiple marketing sources
Please help me out.
As #Aditya said, for now, Apple is not sending any referrer (or params) from iTunes to installation.
The only way you have it's to use a third party sdk to get your installations.
I have been working on a own sdk to get this but the way to get any info it's really hard and not really confident to use it. So endly we used some third party which are using many techniques to getting this (as fingerprint data, App2App methods, etc...)
I have tested appsflyer sdk and facebook sdk, they work as expected, use this or any else you prefer.
Hope this helps
I am trying to find a way to generate a pass for passkit on the device its self after it received the information to put in a pass over the network.
Does anyone know if this can be done / how to do this?
Refer to: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/PassKit_PG/YourFirst.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012195-CH2-SW1
Basically: Not easily (if at all), you need to be able to sign your pass using signpass, a command line utility in order to make it readable by devices. This will cause a lot of hassle and distress, as you can't run another process on iOS, and to convert the signpass code to run on the device might not be possible either.
What I would suggest is to sign your pass on the server/wherever the data is coming from, and send both the information and the generated .pkpass to the device. This is how it was designed, and how it should be used. Read the docs for more information, they're very clear.
Actually, Apple have stated the security problems when signing passes in iOS. This is because the certificates needs to be packaged with the app. And you don't want to expose certificates to users like that.
Just like WDUK suggests, implement a simple pass signing and distribution server that your app can request passes from. This is also very helpful when you want to update passes added to devices.
I'm sure you can find a server implementation that fits your needs on GitHub.
