I made an app and I don't have the knowledge to add a few things that I want. I found a developer online. How can I protect my app to make sure it doesn't get stolen?
If you give him your source code, no technical measures can stop him from stealing the source code. If he were local to you, you could require him to use a locked-down computer in your own office, but I don't think that is an option for you.
If your app has substantial non-code assets (graphics, sound, databases, etc.) you could give him only the minimal subset of assets necessary for testing.
If the app talks to a server you control, and you don't also give him the code/data to set up his own server, then him stealing your code may be less harmful.
Other than that, you need to consider legal enforcement, not technical enforcement.

I have seen several websites that seem to extend medium.com functionality for the blog section. i.e.
https://blog.signals.network/sale-ends-today-at-14-00-utc-what-will-be-next-bb94e740853e
I cannot seem to find out how it's done. Their API returns JSON so I'm wondering if this site is building a page to look like medium.com or if there's an easier way to do it.
Does anybody have any experience with this?
No, now it is not possible, as medium said "As of November 2017, Medium is no longer offering new custom domains as a feature. Instead, you can create a publication on Medium that will live on a medium.com/publication-name URL."

Just a basic question. Does full disk encryption (such as bitlocker) encrypt the Bios or just the OS. I know a TPM is required, so that makes me think the Bios is encrypted but I just wanted to be sure.
Not exactly sure why you're asking... actually encrypting the BIOS doesn't really make sense, since you don't store any data there that would need to be protected from curious eyes.
And flashing a modified, unsigned firmware image is usually not easy on a modern system, at least not without having physical access.
To answer your question... bitlocker only encrypts the harddisk, respectively the OS.
If you want to prevent users from accessing the BIOS then you should check whether your BIOS allows you to set a password. Many modern systems allow locking the BIOS via password. Just make sure you don't forget it, else you're locked out of your system as there's no regular recovery method.

Is there any way to know current battery level of connected iOS device from command line.
Thanks in advance..
Check out libimobiledevice.
It is mainly targeted for linux systems but you can get it to compile for OS X as well if you want to although it is a bit complicated.
I am also in the process of writing an Objective C wrapper around the libraries and you can find some more info here: https://github.com/liamnichols/CocoaMobileDevice but be warned, its a WIP atm. I'm not even sure if it will run on other machines as there might be some hardcoded dependancies that need fixing.

I've got an iPad that's got some important data stuck inside one of the apps, with no way to get it off (basically, it has a syncing problem with an external server). It's a third party app from the app store. I'd like to manually access the app's data, in the hope that I can extract it manually. How do I go about this using iTunes/XCode?
Install iExplorer, plug the iPad into your Mac and then use iExplorer to retrieve the data files.
Update: When I wrote this answer in 2013, this above was the case. However, Apple changed the security model in iOS 8.3 so that it's no longer possible for third party apps to access files in the app sandbox.
The makers of iExplorer have a detailed support page covering this issue.

Here's the situation: I created an app and released it, only to discover a friend of mine had actually created a similar app. We decided to combine our efforts and make a single app going forward, using his app's name (and my code).
Now granted my app was just released so there's practically nobody using it, but even so I'd like to not just abandon those people that may be using it. I'd love it if there were some way to merge the apps such that users of my app were notified of an updated version that actually downloads the other app's bundleid (but which will have the same codebase as the previous version of mine).
Is there any support for this scenario on the App Store?
Failing that, I would at the very least like to transfer purchases of the old app into purchases of the new app.
No, I don't think there is any way to do what you describe. Apple treats apps as completely separate, and does not allow you to transfer one to another.
