Can you please confirm if the Gmail One-Click / Go-To Action schemas should display fully within the native ioS mail client or the Gmail app itself? OR, do these only work fully on desktop?
One click and go-to actions will display on mobile devices, however, they will only display with the Inbox app (iOS/ Android).

Similar to use mailto: on the web, and be able to pass over the subject and body
Not directly. But you can use IFTTT to send mails or automate other stuff.
I have been asked to create an Email client for Android/ios.
I have been looking at Cordova to create this email client app.
There is a cordova-plugin-email-composer plugin to send mails, but I am wondering how to receive Emails through Imap, and store them.
Can anyone advise on this? Or maybe suggest an alternative for Cordova to create a hybrid mail client app?
SMTP (sending mails) is the easier task in cordova, even with mailto:yourname#mailserver.com?subject=...&body=... in the href-attribute in HTML5 you can send an e-mail on mobile devices cross plattform.What you need is a library for IMAP and/or POP3 access in cordova.
I look for the same plugin in Cordova, to write an OpenSource-App as Messenger replacement for WhatsApp using existing Mailserver. This has many advantages:
This OpenSource-App could use existing Infrastructure for sending and receiving messages and attachments as mails. No need to set up new server infrastructure
Messengers like WhatApp are popular and users like that quick communication style.
There is no need to provide my communication to DCC (Data Collecting Company) like Facebook for WhatsApp. Everyone could use the mail server she/or he prefers.
You can receive messages and send messages on a desktop computer with a regular mail client, cross-plattform and cross devices
Basic concept used from AT6FUI
I'd like to create an email "file" (i.e. stored on my webserver) that can be accessed through a link on a webpage and which will open the native iOS email program and have the To, CC, BCC, Subject and Body filled in. Additionally I'd like the email to have an attachment. Is this possible?
If you are referring to the usage of <a href="mailto:someone#somwehere.com"> then I'm afraid the answer is no. More details in this question/answer.
This can be done, though it requires the use of PhoneGap/Cordova. This however, requires an iOS app containment. You can have the app communicate with your server. I'm assuming though, that you have a server hosted webapp and require this functionality.
If this is the case, the standard way to do this is to send the email on the server side. This of course, will not use the native iOS email application. If you don't have access to you own mail server, you can use a gmail account as an SMTP server. If your server is written in Java you can use JavaMailSender. If your server is written in Ruby, use the Mail gem. If your server is written in node, use NodeMailer. Most popular languages will have a Mail Library suitable for you needs.
I'm making an iOS app and the user has to enter their info to register for an account. I'm wanting to make it so that it sends an email to the provided email account with the info that they just entered. But I don't want them to be able to see the email view. Is there a way to send an email in the background in iOS 7? I'm familiar with the SMTP Gmail workaround but I was wondering if there was anything more generic.
There is no documented API available using which you can perform this.
send this detail to your server via web service and than server will send the email using that detail.
I have a mobile web app/site and I would like the users to upload a word document to our site.
As safari on the iPhone is not able to upload files what are the alternatives?
I have seen http://code.google.com/p/iphone-photo-picker/ however this is not photograph.
Is it documented anywhere that the Dropbox API, iCloud API or another API would allow selection a file from a user to copy to our servers?
Alternately is there another way for our iPhone users using safari?
No, iPhone does not offer input type file on it's browser (except for images or videos).
What i do is, have users to send file(s) via email to site and download it programmatically on the server side and assign it to user's account either according to email address or some sort of password in the email.
Investigation has shown that the drop box API for the user so select a via on the webpage using OAuth could be an option in the future.
However the dropbox api documentation at the time of writing says:
Web applications using the Dropbox API are currently not officially
supported.
iCloud API is in beta and only available to members of the iOS and Mac Developer Programs so I am unable to review it's possibilities.
Update: I have now found this site: http://filepicker.io that handles uploads from facebook and dropbox.
