I am working on a project where I have to access TextBox/TextField/EditText of other apps like messenger/whatsapp/Viber/etc... on (Android/IOS).
I did get it done with Android using Accessiblity service, but I am stuck for iOS.
Is there any way that I can follow or explore to create a service (Background Apps) that can access TextBoxes of other apps?
Thank you
No, applications are sandboxed and cannot access each other. There are several ways for two applications to communicate with one another, but they rely on the two applications coöperating – you cannot do it by yourself and you can't access the UI of the other application.
That interoperatibility was introduced in iOS 8, but anyway you will need to have access to the source code of those apps in order to accomplish this.
So I guess the answer for your question would be no.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to any useful tutorials on allowing a master user to update information for their app. I am looking into creating an application for a local restaurant and I want the owner to be able to update information like the soup of the day and such by themselves.
I have been looking into JSON and CMS for this, but I am unable to find any useful information regarding iOS 8 or xCode 6. If anyone could provide me with this information, or any other suggestions on how to achieve this I would be very grateful!
(I am using Swift not Objective-C)
This is not a code issue, rather it is a development concept issue. You have many choices including making an API that is updated by the restaurant. The app then connects to the API and gets the recipes. If you feel you need to do this via the App make a special username that is allowed access to modify the menu. This can be accomplished via matching username exactly or via using a regex. It all really depends on the structure of your app platform.
I'm a php dev, and i want to port my web application first on the iPhone.
The application is like a job board. The simple mobile app will have to (with my web-app API) :
Auth users
Browse job offers through categories
Filter/Search job categories
Send / Read private messages
I never used Java / Objective-C that's why i want to know if you can recommand me a framework (or not) that could do the trick without the need for me to learn 3 months before starting to code the application.
Which direction should I take ?
Thanks
Presumably you want a native app so that you can deploy to the AppStore and make some cash? ;)
You can create HTML apps and wrap them natively which would let you leverage your existing skills. There's various ways to do this and there's even some tools that will help you with the native wrapper. but for starters take a look at PhoneGap:

I have searched on net for social networking integration in iOS projects (For example: Facebook, Twitter, etc)
I found there are also SDKs available for particulars and some OpenSource projects/frameworks are also available for the same which combines all into one like (ShareKit).
What is the difference in those two? Which one is better to use? Is there any problem to upload an app on AppStore which is using ShareKit framework/code?
Thanks in advance.

If you are using ARC in your project ShareKit is a big waste of time.
Twitter can be added very easily using the Twitter framework and TWTweetComposeViewController. Not sure about any others.

If you are only looking to use Twitter and Facebook, then it is simple enough to just use their API and implement it in your code.
If you are new to development or want to use more (Delicious, Tumblr, Read It Later, Bit.ly, Mail), then I would highly recommend using ShareKit. It allows for sharing of text, URLs and even images. It takes less than an hour to setup even when using ARC and comes with a sample app to play around with. It is also easy to update when more features are added or the API of one the sites changes.
I am developing a XMPP based chat client for iOS. One of the requirements is the ability to "block" users. The XMPP specifications have a few options (XEP-0016, XEP-0191) however I have yet to be able to find any extensions for the XMPP Framework that are already available? It seems like this would be a pretty basic feature? I could always go the easy route and just save a list of blocked JIDs locally and filter out incoming messages, however it will not transfer between devices this way. The other option is to write an extension, which might be out of the budget/time frame requirements. Am I missing something here? Is there a built in way to do this or an extension already out there?
It may be a basic feature, but no one that has needed it has contributed an implementation to the project.
I have some experience in iPhone development. Now one client wants to develop a BI (Business Intelligence) related iPad app for their organisation.
As I have no previous experience in development of such an application, I googled a bit & learned that these BI related apps show various data present in an organisation in various chart/graphical formats to the user.
Q1) So what is the best way to pull these data from server?
Q2) Also is there any API / Framework available to do this kind of app in iPad?
If anyone has any other suggestions, please post here.
There are a TON of ways to do this. You can build it with most any technology that your organization uses. The main key is to keep a clear separation of tiers. Build a web application that queries your database and have it present the information as XML or JSON. You can then parse the data and present it in your iOS application.
For actually doing data visualization, you will want to take a look at Core-Plot. I've used it on projects and it has worked well: http://code.google.com/p/core-plot/
If your customer wants an out-of-the-box solution for getting their BI on mobile devices, take a look at Actuate/BIRT. They have a simple way to get it into mobile.
