My newest Swift app has Offline map feature. I am using Mapbox to support my app. However, the area I want to download limited with 6000 tiles. I couldn't download full map (In my case, it's New York City map). Somebody, who knew about it, please tell me some specify info about price levels. I couldn't find helpful things on their support page: https://www.mapbox.com/pricing/
I already sent a support ticket and a email to Mapbox Sales Deputy, but I didn't get any reply until now.
I also asked Mapbox about this recently. Their reply (in part) was:
Increasing the tile limit per end user mobile device is a feature only of our Enterprise plans

As most of you are probably aware of, iOS 14 will basically put an end to app acquisition tracking as we know it.
Here are two great articles that explore the issue in length:
The App Attribution Industry Is Dead
How To Prepare Your Mobile App and Attribution Stack for Apple’s iOS 14 Privacy and IDFA Changes
Putting aside the critical changes most people will have to make to their business models, my question has to do with Firebase's dynamic links in particular.
Since they basically rely on copying a link in the pasteboard, I already know they might now trigger a warning banner — although the Firebase team has apparently been proactive with this matter.
What I don't know at this point is whether they will continue to work or not when users disallow ad tracking.
My team and I have tried building one of our React Native apps with XCode 12 beta on a simulator running iOS 14, but haven't been able to retrieve any value from the dynamic links — whereas it currently works with iOS 13. There might be other factors at play though, so it's difficult to draw our own conclusions at this point.
My questions, provided that the users have opted out of tracking:
Will we still be able to read the dynamic link url in-app?
Will Google Analytics still receive the UTM parameters and get campaigns' results?
If the answer is no to any of these questions, what are the workarounds or third-party solutions you've found?
Your insights will be greatly appreciated!
According to Google's blog post: https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/supporting-ios-14
If IDFA is not accessible:
No impact for link-opening functionality
When used with Google Analytics, attribution for link conversion events is unavailable.
I am looking for Offline Google Maps in iOS (Objective c).
Is there any way to download the Map into the App when user is connected to internet, and show the downloaded map when user is offline and using the App ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I don't know much about it but I have heard some once talking about the same thing and using openstreetmaps instead of Google Maps.
OpenStreetMaps: http://www.openstreetmap.org/
As far as I know Google Maps doesn't implement that feature on its iOS Framework yet. But there are other Frameworks, such as Skobbler or Nutiteq that provide what you need.
It is quite easy to use Google maps as the offline mode you just need to download the map for the particular location you need to visit offline, later you can access that map anytime. I recommend you to see complete tutorial with screenshots here.
Follow some below steps:
1: Open google maps.
2: Navigate to the menu, and select offline area.
3: Select the area you want to use as area as an offline map.
4: Now tap download.
You can access this map in future for one month after which it will ask for updates.
Firstly, nice job to the Spotify iOS SDK team -- it's come a long way and it's not easy to make an async world for the sync-minded masses! :)
We have a basic query usage question that's probably answered elsewhere, but it'd be helpful to have a dev be clear on the issue (plus, there may be some new query paradigms in the new iOS SDK that could be used). Basically, our app embeds the Spotify iOS SDK, offering the ability for the user to choose high-level audio sources: "Stations" and the entries under "Your Music" ("Playlists", "Songs", "Albums", and "Artists").
So, it'd be infinitely helpful if a dev could outline which queries would be made from the iOS SDK level (and which subsequent queries would be made for the items above). If it turns out that doing initial/root-level queries is best done via the web API, could a dev please outline the official/approved method for forming a URL query?
Also, is there's a whitepaper or formal Spotify doc that formalizes Spotify URIs?
Thanks!

In the iOS SDK, everything you need is in the SPTRequest object.
playlistsForUserInSession:callback: gives you playlists.
savedTracksForUserInSession:callback: gives you the user's saved songs.
To get the user's "Albums" and "Artists" lists, you derive this yourself from the list of saved songs - there's no API to fetch them separately.
Radio stations aren't available in our SDKs.
I want to have my App find a locate "nearby" people.
Sort of like how Venmo allows you to see nearby people and make payments them. I don't even know where to begin. My first though would be bluetooth but I feel that the process is sluggish and I doubt Venmo was utilizing bluetooth because I hadn't turned it on. Location seems to be my second instinct but that seems inefficient.
Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.
If I understood correctly, You want to locate nearby phones that download your app. 1. You will have to ask user with a popUp to turn on its location services, if its not already. For getting location of the user you will need to import CoreLocation framework into your project. There are many sources and links online for using apple location services (note not map framework). Apple Ref Link
2.You will have to post that location cordinate/position data via Json/ Xml with preferably NSURLConnection to your backend webserver. (can be in php) There are many online services which offer backend support Google, parse,etc
3.By using APNS
your iOS device will be notified after that event. Now if you want only nearby users to be notified, you should calculate the distance between 2 devices , again using location services.CLLocationDistance distanceInMeters = [locationA distanceFromLocation:locationB]; If you plan to make only 1 such application, you will have to sort out the architecture for users and owner. Hope this helps. Link1
Is it possible to show businesses, restaurants, transit stations, parks, etc. on an MKMapView in your own app?
Below is a picture of how this looks in the iOS 6 Maps app. Can I do the same in my own app? How?
Although it would be very very nice to have this feature in MKMapViews, I think it's a feature Apple reserved for their own Maps app. However, the release of iOS 6.1 brings a search feature you can add to your app which will return all the matching places.
iOS 7 also opens many new maps APIs - I'll add more details when the OS goes public.
You could also check out the Foursquare API. You'd probably interested in their Venue's Platform:
Just need a database of places? The Venues Platform allows developers to search for places and access a wealth of information about them, including addresses, popularity, tips, and photos. It's available free and without any user authentication, as long as applications include adequate attribution.
