I am looking for a solution to providing the user with some information that they may not need to act upon, but is generally useful to know.
I have some JSON / DB operations that perform on a separate thread, when the opertion is finished I think it would be beneficial for the user to see a message that tells them something has changed e.g "12 New Items Added" or something to that effect.
The solutions I have found thus far are either using an alert to show this information or perhaps push notification?
I have added the question mark there as I am fairly sure that isn't the correct approach in this situation.
If anyone has used the toastr popups library before that is something very close to what I am after, but for Swift.
I wouldn't suggest using an alert, according to Apple's guidelines alerts should only be used if it is something that a user must act upon or something that they must know.
I would suggest that you use a toast or something to that effect to make the user aware of what has been done as it's much less intrusive.
Here is a tutorial that I have found on how to implement it:

I'm new to programming, so please be patient. I'd like to implement in my current app a chat, but not with other users, but rather with the app itself. In the app called "Ada" the way user interacts with the app is through various buttons that he presses, after which the app gives the answer. So, as far as I understand what I try to create has nothing to do with machine learning, so I'd like to avoid such services as DialogFlow or the same service provided by IBM, as I don't want to pay for the additional features that I will never use (I don't want my users to use keyboard input to interact with the app, I want them to use only buttons). But I'd like to create a page, which looks like a chat. The only app that I know that has implemented exactly what I need is Ada. The problem is that there is literally no page on that topic on the Internet, so I don't know where to even begin. As I don't know where to even start, I have no starting code to provide you with.
Here is a simple example of what I mean:
On the right the app gives the user a test, as user pressed "begin" button
Hope that you understand what I need and you'd help me a lot if you would explain exactly how to create such a chat.
It looks like there is a Udemy course on this very subject:

I would like to customise App Suggestions in iOS programatically.
It usually says Good Morning and my app name.
Is it possible that I configure it to say something other than "good morning"?
Can I control when and where it appears?
I couldn't find much information in this regard.
Thanks,
Elstine
You can't modify App Suggestions from an application, as that content is outside of the scope of an app's sandbox.
"Good Morning" appears there because the App Suggestion feature detected that you usually use a particular app in the morning and greets you with an according message. Those strings come directly from this feature and are not app-dependent; therefore, they can't be changed as of now.

Is it possible for one to make an app which listens for call events, if a number is equal to something, then cancel the call and do other stuff?
EDIT:
Some people are asking why I would wanna do this when it's such a simple question that, I'm having difficulty in understanding the negative feedback. As the question states, I just wanted to capture the call events and if the number dialed was equal to a specific number, than the call wouldn't proceed and I would do something else instead. The question is not too broad (unless I have to place the whole requirements engineering of the app) neither a complicated one. Just a simple question of "is this possible in iOS?".
As already answered by some helpful people (fortunately), it's not possible.
No, it's not possible, especially if you want your app to be accepted into the App Store. You can detect incoming and outgoing calls using Core Telephony, but you cannot get the phone number. Plus, certain usage of the Core Telephony framework means rejection from the App Store, if that's a concern.

Our app involves the use of techniques that have not been used within the target profession before, and as a result, end users will have no comprehension of how to use it. We will be doing webinars to help them get started with it; however, there is a concern that they may need some immediate assistance from the time they download it.
So, we're trying to figure out how best to present this information. While the app itself is mostly self-explanatory, the underlying techniques on how it is to be used require some explanation.
I'm thinking of adding a "help button" on the nav bar at the top of screens where it will be relevant, which would then open a webview to load html containing the necessary help screens.
My questions are:
a) Would this generally be acceptable in terms of the UI?
b) Is there a better way than what I'm suggesting?
TIA
A: No. I think a help button is the wrong way to go about it.
B: Why not display a screen onto of the UI that gives info on how to use the app. This screen only shows the first time the user opens the app. Like a short tutorial?
