Is it ok and is there any scheme I can use to open AliExpress app within my own app? "aliexpress://" not working
The point here is on the way to open it with no complaints from Apple and Ali. This is quite large marketplace with quite big audience. So, I'd like to ask if there any LEGAL way to open their App as we do on registration with FB for instance.
Thanks for links in comments, but it's considered as not a proper way to solve my issue, it worked for a while as I know, but then stopped.

I have been doing some research about iOS app approval process, but I can't seem to find one thing that is pretty important in my case. I have added a simple url link to a website (I did not use a web view for the reason I am about to explain).
What I have found is that Apple specifies that font within the app should not be smaller than size 11. They also say that the user should not have to zoom in. Well, unfortunately I have a client who wants me to place a link of her website in a menu section of the app. I told the client that I was concerned that there may be an issue since this website is not optimized for mobile devices. Basically, this link shows a desktop version of a site on a mobile phone.
I have searched online for many guidelines, but I just haven't spotted anything yet. I would guess that they would reject it, but I was just curious if anyone happened to know for sure or knew where I should look to find this out.
Thanks
I have a project where I have to open an App like Facebook inside my App.
I know the URL Scheme but it is not what I want. I don't want to left my App and have like a webview but for a native app (Facebook for exemple).
Same behavior than.
Is it possible ?
Thx a lot :-)
No, this is not possible. At least not on a non-jailbroken device (there might be hacks that can be done on a jailbroken device to achieve this that I'm not aware of).
No this is not possible. You cant open another app inside of your current app. You can open an app from within an app but you cant frame that app inside of yours.
Other than the fact that apple has prohibited and not made this available, it also will cause a poor guest experience. The apps are designed to run on the users device, not a smaller screen.
it's impossible to open another app in a running app, but you can open a webapp
I was wondering if its possible to write an ios app that 'disables' other apps from opening?
For example, when I press the disable button on my app, I cannot open whatsapp for the next 15 minutes.
If that's not possible, could a workaround such as blocking all HTTP requests to a certain URL be possible? or even blocking (or turning off) notifications from certain apps?
I've also been wondering whether or not a security module might disallow such code..
Any help would be much appreciated!
None of the suggestion you made in your question will work on a AppStore app. Since the app is sandboxed it can not interact on the level you want with the system.
Your only possibility is to write an app for jailbroken devices.
There might be private API present as per your need but one thing is clear if you target for Apple AppStore ,it will be rejected due to its policy as aslo said by other person. Moreover ,If you still wana develop it you should go for it and there is Cydia which is a appstore for jail broken phone so you could upload your app and try to sell it off. Hope this info is useful for you.
I am currently developing an ios app for a localization company. The company provides ipads to all his employees so this new app that i'm developing can keep track of them (in case of an emergency and to know if they are really working).
I already finished the app and everything is working fine but now the problem is that anyone can close the app and "hide" his position from us.
It is possible to do something about this?
Also it is possible to start an app on boot. Something like this but on Ios.
Is there anyway to "lock" the app so it can't be closed and only sent to background?
Thanks
EDIT
I tried with the guided access but the employees also need to use other apps (like safari) to do their work. Not only mine. I tried this and effectively you can't close the app but also you can't access other app. Or am I doing it wrong? I want to allow my app to be in background but not close. Sorry if i did not explain myself well.
Many duplicates of this...
Settings - General - Accessibility - Guided Access.
Turn it on and you can limit what the iPad can do.
You can also stop it from closing apps.
I have never developed for iPhone, but I have developed an HTML5 web application.
I would like to submit to the Apple store a free app whose job would be to just open up the HTML5 webapp in the mobile browser.
Do you think it will be likely that such an app can be accepted? Can you please provide links or evidence?
Is it possible to ask this question to the Apple team so that I am not going to waste $99? If so, how?
If your app has native web views pulling internal HTML5 information, you might be able to sneak it by some of the app reviewers, but a good portion will say that there is not enough native Apple code in the app. They are sticklers for that.
I have, on a few occasions, gotten away with adding push notification, saying it HAS to be an app, and can't rely on users going to the website since they need push (even though I never intended on pushing anything out), but Apple has caught on to this.
Ultimately, you need to use Apple code in xCode, and you need to use a lot of it.
