iOS select image from cloud storage - ios

The user should be allowed to select an image from more than just their device.
Countless services provide this functionality, Slack is a great example. Is there a library that can assist in this as my searching has turned up blank.
I really don't mind if it's in Objective C or Swift.

In answer to your question, the library used to generate the action sheet included in the image you attached is a native iOS library / class called UIDocumentMenuViewController.

Google Flatbuffer iOS

Currently, I got a task to explore google flatbuffers on iOS and OSX. I explored the documentation provided by Google.
Also found some libraries on Github on swift language like FlatBuffersSwift and others that implement the flatbuffers.
So, I have mainly two concerns on that
Will Apple approve my app if I used this in my iOS application?
Is it possible to create schema on runtime from JSON ? or we must manually create schemas (.fbs) and use flatc library for creating model binaries (like .swift) files.
Any help please
Thanks in advance
1) There's nothing in the Apple approval process that has to do with your choice of serialization library.
2) To get the benefits of this library, you want to create a schema and generate code for it ahead of compilation time. If your use case is so dynamic that you want to be able to do everything at runtime, you're probably better off with a good JSON library.

ANPR for XamarinFroms

We are searching best ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Reader/Recognition) for Xamarin.Forms. I have already gone through AnyLine and OpenAlpr.
AnyLine seems to be high cost, based on image capture counts.
Regarding OpenAlpr we have a workable solution for Xcode (IOS) and also Xamarin.Android.
The real problem is we couldn't bind the existing xcode project into xamarin.IOS using the sharpie tool (we tried sharpie for some other project, that works fine). Then we realized, that we can't create static library in xcode using an existing framework(openalpr.framework) files.
My question are,
Can we create static library using .framework file? please explain.
Else, Is there any other ANPR tools already available for Xamarin.Forms of Xamarin.IOS?
MicroFocus IDOL has an excellent ANPR Solution which can be accessed via REST APIs. The product is called Media Server.

How do I build a Cocoapod framework for swift, while keeping implementation details hidden?

I am trying to build an iOS swift framework to display encrypted photos. Photos are sent by my server (something like a hashed binary file) after calling a specific API with specific details. I will then decrypt the photo, and display it to the user.
Correct and point me in the right direction if I am wrong, but swift only allows frameworks - meaning no static library. And this will expose my implementation details (such as the method to decrypt my photo).
What I would like to achieve is to create a cocoapod distributable framework for paid developers to implement (once they subscribe to me). It is supposed to expose simple public APIs, and hide implementation details.
I have tried various ways to achieve that but to no avail. I would really like to keep the implementation to swift codes only, with minimal Obj-C codes.
Build a swift framework, and build an objective-c static library as a wrapper
But I cannot seem to get it to work. Any idea if this is possible?
Build a swift framework in a swift framework
Stupid idea, i'm able to see the framework's implementation details within the other framework...
Build a swift framework, and build an objective-c framework as a wrapper
I cannot seem to get this to work either...
I have been working on this project for about 2 weeks now, and have been all over Googling for it. Just in case anybody would like to try, you may try to do the following and check if it works.
Cocoapods Friendly Framework
Implementation Details Hidden
Uses Alamofire (or any public framework that connects to internet)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Phonegap iOS: Download image to Photo Library

Is it possible to download a file (image) and save it in the Photo Library?
I am aware of this download method, but it only allows to download to a location that I specify.
On iOS I was unable to get the path to the Photo Library (and I know it doesn't just store it there, but also adds it to a DB)
Does phonegap provide this ability in some way?
Do I need to write a dedicated plugin for this?
Thanks,
Nadav
Ehh... I hate answering my own questions
I found this was impossible without a Phonegap plugin, and couldn't find one that does that,
so I wrote one.
Currently only iOS and Android are supported.

Feel free to expand it's functionality and pull-request :)

How can I display image it's include in iOS framework?

I found some image include in iOS framework, How can I use this image in my program?
You could extract the images using https://github.com/0xced/UIKit-Artwork-Extractor.
Please note, however, that Apple might not like it if you use their images in your app.
For example, using the GameCenter icon on a custom view/control is prohibited.
If the image is just part of UIKit, it won't be such a big problem, I guess.
Hope this helps
No . That's not possible and legal
Because of we cannot use third party and default framework images it's based on the legal issue in AppStore. So better to use control and views. Don't alter default framework images.
