In my app I want to give the user the option to record a video and share it. What is the easiest way to achieve this? (I have been trying to add video recording for days now and keep hitting dead ends). Can anyone offer some help?
To allow functionality to record videos within your app, please go to the Apple documentation for UIImagePickerController for taking pictures and movies
UIImagePickerController Class Reference Link
Once you have your video, sharing it is a little more difficult as unlike text or images, the movie file sizes can often be very large and may have to rule out simple sharing via email, text-message etc.
The best way to share in this case, would be to connect to an external API, like YouTube, where you can upload the video from the app. Here's a link to YouTube documentation for this

I suggest these as good places to start, as this is what you are asking for.
Hope this helps

I want to connect vimeo video with an android app, the process is like this:
I want to upload the video on Vimeo, and want to see the list of video uploaded in the vimeo from the android app and play it from the android app.
In simple words I don't want to upload the link of every new video in my code.
Is that possible, help me with this
What sort of technology require for this
and what is the process ?
Honestly I am new to Android apps too. If you wish to save links you had already accessed, then I assume you should look at "Room" (The name of Android Internal Storage). Room would helps you to remember links/videos even if you close the app.
In regards listing items, I'd look at "RecyclerView".
I don't have enough knowledge on that field, to provide you with an accurate answer but I'd suggest start looking on these two topics.
I'm creating a mood tracking app that, among other things, should use information about the songs the user listens to. Specifically, I'm interested in just extracting the titles that are otherwise visible from the locked screen view, when a track is playing. I've search the interwebs and have had no luck finding a solution to access this data using Swift.
Can anyone help?
The short answer is no.
You may be able to retrieve song information from the iTunes library (if it's not a shared song using Home Sharing). Read about MPMusicPlayerController for more information. Specially the nowPlayingItem is probably what you're looking for.
However, most third-party applications such as Spotify, Deezer or Pandora will most likely have implemented their own player, which does not integrate with the iPod music player. This blog post also covers some of the details.
It is not about your ask, but it is about theme.
I made a code to get information about track in Itunes Media, and if you need get album art or correctly track name or artist, well I think it is will help you. The code is free to use in github.

I have MP4 videos that people log in online to access. I need the videos to be playable/accessible on an iPad/iPhone, but still have some very basic protection on them. How can I do that?
I'm aware that putting the videos in a htaccess password-protected folder makes them inaccessible to iPad users, and even using htaccess to block hotlinking/direct-linking causes the videos to be inaccessible to an iPad user, even if the videos are in the same directory the users are currently in.
I understand that the videos can be downloaded by anyone using a Downloader plugin, and I'm not trying to have unrealistic bullet-proof security, I just don't want someone to be able to link directly to my videos saying, "Hey, you can watch those videos she's selling for free by clicking here:
ww w.mysite.com/private/video1.mp4 (that's not a real link, just an example)
I would think a lot of people have similar issues (wanting to protect online video in some way but still have them playable on an iPad/tablet/iPhone). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Is it possible to add to my youtube account a video I liked in youtube without having to upload it?
This is for an application i´m developing... I´m looking for something similar to share on twitter feature.
But any help is welcome!

You can add it as a favourite, as Yuliy has said, or you can create yourself a channel, add a playlist to that channel, then add the video in a similar way to the playlist.
Doing it this way means you can 'see' it from the API(getplaylists, getplaylist)... But, if the original author decides to take the video down, then of course it will disappear from your channel page as well (or more likely say 'this video has been removed by the user').
You cant keep a 'copy' of the video like this.
