I am currently new to ios so I do need help in this. I am trying to probe the sandbox of an iphone to retrieve any data from an application such as contacts. From what I know, I need to have understanding of c/obj c programming and understand the features of the mobile with regards to sandbox. So for my questions,
1)How should I get myself started?
2)Are there any features of the mobile regarding about sandbox should I need to understand before proceeding? (Some examples would be great)
3)Do I need to create my own application such as an app that stores contacts to probe on(using XCode)?
4)Any critical information that I missed out?
Much help is needed. Thanks. This is for educational purposes
The sandbox is given to you by iOS, no need to set up or anything. The sandbox means that your app is limited in accessing system resources, specifically file system, documents and settings. It can play only in its "sandbox". But there is no mock like environment that you can use for testing.
For more info on the sandbox, check out the iOS Programming Guide.

I am beginner to building Apps with React Native + Redux.
I am trying to create an App family budget. It's almost done.
BUT I have two questions for them who already created these kind of apps.
What is the best way to save data? I want to save it (data: expenses/dates/category etc) on devices iOS (not database) if it's possible. I think it does not take a lot of memory. I've read about AsyncStorage, but not sure about it. Is it still present after reloading App/Phone?
How to share data between two users? I want to make a function, like sharing the budget between family members.
I will be very grateful for the recommendations and suggestions, maybe even for some good articles with explanation.
Thanks!
If you are using redux, you can use redux-persist to store your state on devices.
To share data between devices, you probably need to implement a remote server (cloud), which receives budget changes and propagates them to other family members.

I am not at all familiar with swift or iOS developmet (I only have python / SQL experience) so I am sorry if this is a stupid question.
How do iOS developers embed specific data such as a rating or review from other sites into an app that would hypothetically gather this data from several different websites?
So for example, for video game reviews app, the app wants to have the rating or review number from different sites that are all built and formatted completely differently, how does the iOS dev pull this specific data into a SQL table or into the iOS app itself? I imagine that the iOS app would talk to SQL first, but how does the link between the sites and the back-end environment connect?
How have you implemented this before, or how have you seen / heard of this being implemented?
Can this be done without scraping / hurting SEO?
You don't access their databases directly.
This can be achieved using the service API or through Web Scraping.

I'm trying to submit my app to the app store and it seems I have to write a privacy policy. I don't know where to start.
My app uses Firebase to store info (profile info) and to run a chat between the users. It's free and I don't have adds...
I'm developing it for a company.
Is there any free tool or something? I can't believe that every developer that submit an app knows how to do this, it has to be some guide to make it easier...
Thanks for the help
This is not programming related but I have done something similar a while ago. You can not take this word to word, you need legal advice.
But you can use https://www.eula.io/ and their sdk.
Follow this tutorial on github. https://github.com/AdamBCo/eula-ios-sdk
You should end up something like

With the new app-extension kit, I'd like to know if it's possible to build an app that tracks various usage statistics of other apps. For e.g., the no of times someone uses their calculator or the no of minutes spent on Quora.
This is a really nice idea to enhance the ability of iOS system. However, even in iOS8 this is unlike to achieve. Apple has offered so limited APIs for APPs to access other APPs. In those APIs, I cannot find any one to record other APPs' launching or closing. (Except you call that from your own APP so that you can record the time, but this is meaningless.)
In the official document for App Extension Programming, manager for APP is not a type that is mentioned in the guide. I'm afraid that you have read it and it cannot give you more help.
I tried to do research on the most detail list of iOS APIs to find whether this is possible. But since iOS5.0, Apple no longer provided the API diffs. Here is the search result.

So I know this is a pretty simple question, but I've looked through all of my iOS textbook and can't seem to find out how people do this. I just want to store and edit an array on the internet. That is, let's say all of the data for my application is stored in an NSMutableArray. Ignoring the complications that occur with people editing the array at the same time, how would I allow multiple people to go into my app and then through that app access and edit the NSMutableArray for others to see?
There are a ton of options here, some of which were listed by #Zaph. The most common scenario to share data between a ton of random users is to setup your own server to run an API that you app will be able to communicate with. This is commonly referred to as the "Backend". The solutions here are vast, written in many different languages and sometimes even provided by third parties services. My advice is to pickup a simple, easy to learn server-side setup like Ruby-on-Rails, then deploy test app on Heroku as they provide free accounts to play with.
In addition to the options #coneybeare provided some others include DropBox, Parse and Azure.
Dropbox requires each user so setup an account.
Parse and Azure have rather easy APIs but you will be paying past the free tier.
