Adding contextual help in ios app - ios

What is the best approach to develop Contextual Help in an iOS (iPhone) app?
Shall I use A masking UIView with all the images and the buttons and their gesture recognisers?
Are there any Apple guidelines or documentation for developing Contextual Help in iOS apps?
(P.S. I did not find any!)

Have a look at this library https://github.com/ruipfcosta/SwiftyWalkthrough. I think it may be useful for your needs.

How to approach iOS Activity app "Awards" Control

I am trying to find approaches on building an iOS Control that looks much similar to "Activity" app "Awards 3D Control" on iOS.
Is there anything available around which is similar to this? Or How Should I approach this control? I need to develop it on both iOS app and for apple watch.
The snapshot of the same is attached below. You can flip it 360".
I am planning to do it with Native XCode Programming (Objective-C and/or Swift). Please suggest on the same lines.

Programmatically lock iPhone on iOS

Does anyone know how to programmatically lock the iPhone on iOS? I don't care if it involves using private API or framework as it's for personal use.
I have tried using https://github.com/neuroo/LockMeNow but it doesn't work on my device (running iOS 10). I guess it's for iOS 5 and below only. Does anyone have an updated method that works on newer versions of iOS?
My iPhone 5 lock button is not working properly, so I wrote this application.
If that is the issue, there is a better way. Turn on AssistiveTouch.
You'll find it in
General -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch
I use that because all my buttons aren't working and it's very easy to get used to. I know this doesn't strictly answer your question, but it may solve your problem. I hope it helps.

Is using storyboard for iOS 7 dev mandatory?

I don't know if this question fits here or not. My apologies if it doesn't.
I am developing an iOS 7 app and have used XIBs instead of storyboard.
Can this be any reason for app rejection?
No it can not be a reason for rejection.
You a free to use either storyboard or xib or even declare all your UI in code like Telegram messenger does.
Check App Store Review Guidelines to see possible reasons for rejection.

Enable/Disable camera app programmatically

Is there a way to programmatically restrict camera access on iPhone 4S 5.0.1?
I am building a simple app with a button to enable/disable shooting with the camera.
I believe it should work in the similar way as the restrictions work in Settings app.
I am not going to deploy it, so I do not mind about Apple's approve.
Thanks!
there is no such a policy based programming like android in iphone to disable the camera. its possible only in rooted iphones.
I think the only option will be with MDM solutions

Convert iPad application to iPhone application?

I have written a tab based iPad application which has done well. I never intended for it to be an iPhone application because the content it displays really doesnt lend itself to such a small screen.
However, I have been getting a lot of requestes for the application to be compatible with iPhones as well.
Can someone point me in the direction of some documentation that may help me figure out how to convert my app.
I presume it's not so simple as having aanother set of XIB files for iPhone and just have it display them if the app is running on a phone...
I recently found this blog post on the topic. You might find it helpful:
