Currently, I'm using firebase to store the users in the database but I wanted to add a link to each specific id so the user is able to copy their profile link and send it to a friend if they have the app or not, I read a little bit about dynamic links from the firebase as well, but still lacking the idea of how to connect a users profile to a deep link.
Wrap user id (or profile id) somehow like: link.co/user_id
In dynamic link handler method you have to get user id (or profile id) from link and send it to ProfileViewController, then you simply open it as you always do from other place in application.
There's good article to read how exactly you will do this: https://www.yudiz.com/deep-linking-in-ios-using-firebase/

I'm new to iOS Programming. I have an app with REST API.
I want to add functionality where I have to create a wishlist of books and then notify the user when some adds that book.
Please help me out in implementing this.
As of now I have no idea how this should be done. It would be great if you give me any idea.
you should develop
an iOS app with
a connectionManager that will manage communication between the client app and the server about which book exist (in order to list them and record user preferences)
a Storyboard that describes the User Experience (a login view, book list view with a "put in wish list" action that will use the connectionManager to talk with the BE)
a BackEnd server application
here there will be web services and everything will be recorded for each user
here you should develop the logic to send notification to each user

I'm developing an online platform, where one type of users (User Type 2) create a profile in an web-app and submit data into the web-app. Another user type (User Type 1) is then able to view this data from an iOS-app. See image below for overview.
I want the User Type 1 to be able to (without logging into instagram) watch User Type 2s Instagram Images.
I have been playing around with the Instagram-API, registered as a developer, and registered a client app, which is now in sandbox mode. But I find it a bit hard to get started, and a grasp about which user types need to be authenticate.
Is it possible to make the iOS-app Authenticate with the API in the background, and then pull images from any instagram user?
If so, what is the simplest way to get started at pulling images down to the iOS-app? Maybe you have some good suggestions or tutorials...
Technically, you don't need to authenticate to get a user's photos. You might need it for the iOS SDK, but if you want to use HTTP calls you can get a JSON blob of all the photos by just adding /media/ after the user address, like so: https://www.instagram.com/dnlrsn/media/.
Obviously, this doesn't allow for interacting with the images, but from what I understood from your question, you don't need that.

My application is one page contract. I would like users to be able to sign the contract by clicking on a button. The contract is not a resource; it's plain HTML.
Every solution I have found so far relies on having a model that acts as votable. How can I implement a simple button that users may only click once, and display the number of users who have clicked it?
It's not possible to do this with static pages, at least not in a way that is clean and secure.
Think about it this way: every user is looking at a copy of the contract, which is being displayed to them on their browser (the client). If you want users to be able to cast votes that persist and be aware of votes cast by other users, then you need a server that keeps track of it centrally. That's why the solutions you have found so far rely on having a model, presumably backed with a table.

I know a new contact can be created in an iOS addressbook.
Is there a way to also flag that contact and set it as a 'Favorite' programmatically?
I am not aware of any public API for this. And it makes sense, since this is a very invasive action. You should not be doing this - the user should be doing it.
Favorite contacts vary from one app to the next -- it's not something that the AddressBook framekwork manages. Take a look at the Phone app, and then look at FaceTime; you'll see that the contacts in the favorite lists are different (unless you've set the same favorites in both apps, of course). The same is true of the "recent" category.
To implement a Favorites list in your own app, keep track of the record identifiers for the contacts that the user chooses as favorites in your app. You can use ABPeoplePickerNavigationController to easily let users choose contacts to add to your favorites list.

I Was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is possible. So.. I am just about to create my first iPhone app. I have my idea and everything is sketched out etc.. but then today I realised that I had not thought about all the features and their implementation properly. This could soon be a no win situation, so please help
Is it possible to create a username and password automatically upon first app opening? so the username and password is to be generated on the fly and then submitted to a web database.
I would also like it so that the user of the app could change this manually if they wished. but also so that if they viewed it on their other iDevices they could sync it up.
Is that possible?
yes, you could generate a random string to sign up a user for first time (backdoor guest account sort of speak), I've done it with one of my apps before (temporarily). However, you should consider baking a guest account feature into your remote server.
