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

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 am trying to build an iOS application where I'll show the user a list of available WiFi Access Points to the user. First of all, I know that trying to do this will get my Application auto-denied in the App Store and that's okay, I'm only doing this for research purposes.
While I was researching, I found this GitHub library but it only works for 4.x and 5.x. This topic was also discussed in this question on how to use the iphone-wireless library but the top answer's link is down. Another answer linked this GitHub repo with a sample project but it seems that it only scans for other devices connected to where your device is currently connected.
I also found iPhone-Wireless' Google Code page but there's no guide whatsoever on how to use it.
Has anyone done this before? Listing all the available WiFi Access Points? I am okay with using libraries that will make the App Store reject my application as I have to plans of distributing it.
We have a native iOS App that users will install exclusively from Appstore. We want the first content displayed in the app to change depending on whether the user found the app by themselves by searching in Appstore or if they followed a link from our website to the Appstore page from a browser.
Is this possible?
How?

With the launch of iOS8 Apple introduced a new install attribution feature. Unfortunately this does not yet allow for an App to know the value of the query parameter passed in the page view of the appstore that lead to the installation of the app like in Google Play Install Referrer, but it is speculated that this will happen in the future.
In the meantime, the closest thing that will solve this problem albeit with some imperfections is called "Fingerprinted Redirect with URL Parameters" and an article explaining how this works with links to technical example implementation can be found here.
Is there a URL schema for launching the built in Notes app in iOS 6? I have seen significantly more work than what is provided here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/Introduction/Introduction.html
Specifically, the entire settings app seems to have URL schemas for each page.
The sad fact is that if Apple does not publish a means to do it, any hack will surely break in the future. It use to be possible with a hack to open Settings, but then one day it stopped working.
The best thing to do is enter a bug report at bug reporter.apple.com and request this feature - that said apple won't do it unless they get lots of such requests.
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.
