My client is wanting to be able to submit invoices automatically into the QuickBooks software from another piece of software that I'm writing (using Qt++/C++). It's my understanding that this can be possible with the QuickBooks SDK for C++. Can anyone definitively confirm if this is true before we move forward?
Yes, you can communicate with QuickBooks using C++.
Download the QuickBooks SDK - there are code examples in there.

I have application on App store. I want to add support for Citrix MDM solution, which will allow end user to install application as in-office app.
Want to know what are the steps I need to perform in application?
I have gone through the details on citrix and got following information in bits and pieces and have some question on top of information
Need to use the MAM SDK in iOS app. From where I should Download the SDK? Is it freely available for POC purpose?
If I integrate the SDK what are the changes I need to do in application? any sample application available?
Need to wrap the iOS application . Is it required if I use MAM SDK?
My application communicate with my server and has user authentication. Do I need to change anything on my server?
Is dummy/temporary server setup of Citrix is available to test my application?
Let me tackle each question.
You'll want to download the MAM SDK from the citrix.com web site. To do so though you'll need to first create a user account. It is free to download.
The changes to your iOS app are fairly straightforward. I won't repeat them here, but in the MAM SDK download you'll find step-by-step instructions on what you need to do. There is a sample app with source code provided.
You no longer need to MDX Wrap your iOS application. That's the older way of getting your apps managed by Citrix Endpoint Management. The new MAM SDK approach replaces that mechanism.
There are no changes needed to your authentication.
There's no dummy server available, but you can request a trial site. Create an account at Citrix Cloud and request a trial of Endpoint Management.

I am developing an industry vertical application. Companies are small businesses who will use the application for client management, scheduling, personnel, hiring, billing, etc. The financial records are accurate in the system but most businesses will have their own accounting software, typically Quickbooks for Windows (note: I am NOT interested in any discussion of Quickbooks Online).
I want to enable users to click a button and download their data into QB for Windows, as they do at a bank or credit card account. I cannot find any documentation on that - it's all on QBOnline. Any guidance?
You need to use QBSDK for this.

how to integrate quickbook desktop application with website

I have a web-based application, which integrates with QuickBooks through the QuickBooks Web Connector. This works great for desktop versions of QuickBooks. However, I'm looking to add support for QuickBooks Online, and the Web Connector can't be used with QuickBooks Online.
How do I integrate my application with QuickBooks Online? If possible, I'd like to use the web service that is already working with the Web Connector.
Please visit http://developer.intuit.com and click on the Integrate your app with QuickBooks link in the Intuit Partner Platform section. The link brings up our QuickBooks API documentation. You should focus on the V2 API if you want something that will be ready to use now. The V3 API will be released publically later this year and will allow you to integrate your application with the Global version of QuickBooks Online.

I want to fetch real-time data from my Quickbooks Online edition's (India) account to display customer details like Open Balance, address etc. on my PHP website.
What is the best way to go about fetching data from Quickbooks Online Edition -
Do I follow the instructions in http://wiki.consolibyte.com/wiki/doku.php/quickbooks_online_edition#connecting_with_the_hosted_model_of_communication ? But this requires a website with SSL certificate.
Do I create a Intuit Anywhere app ( https://ipp.developer.intuit.com/0010_Intuit_Partner_Platform/0025_Intuit_Anywhere/1000_Getting_Started_With_IA ) and then use IDS (Intuit Data Services) to fetch the required data using the API?
Can I use the PHP devkit ( https://code.intuit.com/sf/frs/do/viewSummary/projects.php_devkit/frs ) and feed my credentials directly to the code and access my Quickbooks account's data?
Do I use qbXML (which however does not seem to be the recommended method)?
Or is there a better solution?
Thanks in advance.
First, a disclaimer - if you're using the India version of QuickBooks Online (http://www.quickbooksonline.in/) you'll likely find that nothing works at all. Currently, Intuit does not officially support ANY non-US version of QuickBooks Online (QuickBooks for Windows non-US is supported via qbXML) for integration, regardless of which method you go with. It might work... but I doubt it.
With that said... generally speaking:
If you're building a SaaS application and trying to allow your
end-users to connect their QuickBooks accounts to your app, use
Intuit Anywhere.
Otherwise, if it's a custom/one-off/internal application, and you hate your life, use HOSTED mode via https://appreg.intuit.com and the HOSTED instructions on our QuickBooks integration wiki (HOSTED mode is notoriously unreliable and difficult to get going due to reverse DNS checks, a very specific certificate format, lack of working example code, bugs on Intuit's end, some serious nasty-ness hooking the certificate up to your .NET HTTPS request, etc.).
Otherwise, if it's a custom/one-off/internal application, and you DON'T hate your life, use DESKTOP mode via https://appreg.intuit.com and the DESKTOP instructions on our QuickBooks integration wiki.
None of the APIs allow you to just pass your credentials in and get access - you'll always have some sort of API token to deal with (a "connection ticket" for qbXML, or OAuth for Intuit Anywhere).
If you build for Intuit Anywhere, you'll use IDS XML. Otherwise, you'll use qbXML.
I am new to Quickbooks. I want to know whether Quickbooks has any seperate SDK for Online vesrion or shall we use SDK 8 for developing applications for Online version also.
Thanks in Advance

Yes, use SDK 8. The QuickBooks SDK covers all desktop versions of QuickBooks and Online Edition.
Note that for Online Edition, you don't really need any special SDK at all- you're just simply HTTPS POSTing XML messages to a remote server. The SDK only gets you a few convienence features for .NET languages- namely QBFC classes. For any other language, you won't need the SDK at all. The only other item in the SDK that's sometimes helpful is the XML Validator tool they include with it.
The actual documentation for all of the requests is available online:
QuickBooks OSR Documentation
I have some additional documentation about communicating with QuickBooks Online Edition on my wiki:
