I have a navigation app. I would like to pop up all navigation apps when user press, address, let the user can press my app and pass the latitude and longitude to my app. I know when I click a file on mail app, it will pop “Open in" menu and suggest me apps.
I check the https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentInteraction_TopicsForIOS/Articles/RegisteringtheFileTypesYourAppSupports.html
I have not found the address of file type.
So, how can I do? I already use URL scheme to achieve A app call B app,
But this time I would like to use “Open in” menu.
I recommend checking out Localide. It helps you open Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, Transit App, Citymapper, and Navigon very easily. You'll need to have a coordinate though which you should have if it's a navigation app!

My app requests access to the iPhone/iPad camera. This results in the native iOS popup to appear, asking for user confirmation.
Is there a way in which I can dismiss this iOS popup (so before the user has made the OK / Don't Allow choice)?
For recent versions of iOS this popup automatically appears when you request write or read access for iOS Photo Library or use some of the AVFoundation framework components.
You can not dismiss it programmatically but you sure can create your own alert before showing the system one so you can have more control over what the user does.
It is the case in many 3rd party apps because when the user declines the access, it's not easy to ask them to go to settings and re-enable it from there. One of the easiest examples to implement would be something like this.
The title pretty much says it all. I need to explain to the user how to add my iMessage App to their phone, is there a way to simply link them straight to it?
Is there a way to open the Settings in Display&Brightness when tapping an alertView buttons? I want the user to be redirected here in order to change its Standard/Zoom view mode.
No.
In iOS 8, there is no supported method for a third-party app to open Settings to anything other than the top level, or to their app's custom settings, if they exist.
What you see in Tinder and Facebook are system alerts that iOS presents when your app wants to use the network or location services and (cellular data or) wi-fi is turned off. This is managed by iOS, and is not something that Tinder or Facebook had to add to their app.
I want to add a UITabBarItem on the TabBar which when clicked opens up Safari instead of loading its corresponding tab. (Not UIWebView but the app goes to background and opens up Safari instead)
I already know how to do this, but I was wondering if this is allowed by Apple. I know they're OK with using the TabBarItem to trigger other actions such as opening a modal in the app, etc. However I am not sure if it's OK to open a safari.
I am just being cautious because I don't want it to get rejected for this and wait another week.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
But: it could lead to confusion amongst your users, because they would most likely not expect that touching an item on the TabBar leads to an app switch. I would rather open a webView and offer the additional possibility to open the page in Safari.
There is no harm doing such and it is also allowed by Apple.
But, I would personally suggest to use UIWebView, over Safari navigation. Because it will create unhealthy user experience, where he/she requires to jump around to swith in-between Safari and App. Rather you can open the same link in UIWebView, which will kepp our user in app only.
Our app uses location services, and registers in the normal way. We have an issue on 1 (!) iPhone where it's not showing in the Location Services, no matter what we do. The question is, does anyone know if this is a bug in iOS, or could there be something we're not doing?
Any thoughts welcome.
The app needs to trigger location settings to appear open up Facebook on ur phone click on the top left corner then press on nearby and allow it once that is done Facebook will appear under location settings
The best way to trigger facebook location services is to go to settings in your facebook app, next go to events. In events you will find a setting icon you need to click that. it will popup location permissions. Select while using.
If you can't find the setting icon in events tab, try to create a new event and it will ask you for location.
