How to integrate Tez payment gateway in swift iOS? - ios

I want to implement google's Tez payment into my app, but as far I found that google provides api integration guide for web and android only(https://developers.google.com/tez/documentation/).
Is anyone know from where I can get documentation guide to implement Tez in my app?
If no source available, then shall we redirect our app to the Tez app in iOS Appstore?, if this'll be the case, then how can I redirect to my app after the successful payment in Tez app.
Looking forward for the guidance.

That is not possible, if Google is not providing any framework to integrate the payment for iOS. Wait for the time, till the Google launch framework for iOS.
You can redirect the user to Tez App on AppStore, but it won't help, because you will not get the idea about the payment status as well as cannot redirect back to your app.
Hope it helps

As a possibility, you can implement Tez framework on server side, and integrate it through your iOS app using web service (Since iOS SDK is not available). But remember to check the apple review guideline about payments through a 3rd party framework because you might have to justify them the use of it for approval.

How to get statistical data of app usage of other applications on IOS using react native?

I've been trying to see if it's possible to get information about app usage on IOS. For example, how much time a user spends on his/hers Facebook or Safari applications. How could one go about doing this within a react native application? Is it possible to do it with any framework?
No, it’s not possible. Apple is very strict about this.
An app cannot access other apps' sandboxes, for any reason. Everything an app can do is restricted to its own sandbox, and in no way can other sandboxes be accessed.
User security is very important for Apple.
If the app you are trying to get the data about has an SDK that can be integrated in your react native app, and the SDK has APIs to provide information about usage analytics for the user(which I don't think is possible with FB SDK), you could ask the user for authorization via the SDK and show them the usage analytics information. Although, chances of these APIs being in an SDK are slim, this might be the only way.

Intercept iOS Deep Links

I am new to iOS Development and am working on an app concept for a customer. The user experience could be greatly improved if the app was able to intercept a deep link.
This is possible in android since links are not bound to the website but to the app manifest itself. So if I make an app that can receive Amazon links, then the user can choose which app opens those links.
Is this possible on iOS using Apple deep links? I am aware they are more complicated since they require a component on the website itself. Furthermore, the app won't need to receive Amazon links if the Amazon app is installed.
I would attempt this myself but do not have an Apple Developer Account yet and don't want to invest without knowing the answer.
The only universal (deep) links you are able to hear about are those directed to your own domain. You cannot receive an Amazon link, because (unless you are Jeff Bezos in disguise) you don't own the amazon.com domain.

Turn web app into iOS app with push notification

I developed a web application for a customer.
Web users can login and have their private account.
The application manager want to send "push" notification to users connected on iOS mobile devices.
Since I cannot achieve this feature with a simple web applications but I don't have resources to develop a native iOs application, the question is:
Is there a simple way to create an iOS "wrapper" to my web application and enable push notification for that app?
It will just be a webView pointing to my web application?
I'll be grateful if somebody can point me to resources, skeleton apps, alternative solutions, etc.
The kind of app you are talking about would be rejected from the app store due to the poor value aported in comparison to your website. This is part of the policy apple applies for a while now.

Google Map API for Business - Usage Limits
The google maps iOS sdk is free for use. i have already integrated google map api functionality on one of my phonegap application. After making some minor changes in to the sdk you can enable the real time navigation on the google map as well.
so you can do a lot with the google sdk.
Hope this will help.
It actually depends, if you are using advanced feature eg Street View, it charges, but for basic feature, it is free for native app, but JS query is not free (eg wrapped by Webview) is not free.

Facebook iOS SDK vs Social framework

I want to write app that is heavily integrated with Facebook. I'm not sure what shoud I use - sdk provided by Facebook or new Social Framework provided by Apple. Do you know some pros and cons of them?
[EDIT]
I ended using Social Framework provided by Apple, because it's much easier to integrate, It will be develop in future, and I have access to device owner Facebook account, so user don't have to log in to Facebook when using my app. I want to do some custom stuff, so I get oauth token from ACAccountCredential and then I make requests with AFNetworing to Facebook's Graph API.
The Social Framework is designed for simple, site-neutral data manipulation. Examples might include getting the user's 'activity feed' (as described by the docs) or posting a new status or photo. It currently works with Twitter, Facebook and Weibo however, other than lack of features, the current main disadvantage is that it is limited to iOS 6, which won't be as much of a problem in the future.
On the other hand Facebook does have an iOS SDK that makes it reasonably easy to integrate Facebook into your app, and it is much more powerful than the Social Framework. Another benefit is that support goes back to iOS 4.3.
I'd recommend using the Facebook iOS SDK over writing your own custom one and using OAuth because Facebook has already done the work for you.
I've struggled with this decision for a long time and came to this conclusion. If your app doesn't care for iOS 5 and older phones, then the iOS Social framework is the way to go, as it allows the user to share with any of the popular social outlets (Facebook, Twitter, email, Weibo, SMS...) just like one can do in mobile safari. According to Apple, 89% of the iDevices are already on iOS 7. The percentage will be higher if you include iOS 6.
