I have an iPhone 4s with Telus in Canada. Telus has a dedicated app for checking account details, etc. In this app, it states that "No data charges will be incurred when using the app, even while outside Canada". How does this work?
Does Telus monitor your traffic to *.telus.com and not count it on your bill?
Or does the app make special web requests that Telus recognizes as someone using their app? And then they can credit this on someone's account.
I ask this because the app, for the most part, is a shell to various web pages. So if you could figure out how to get the app to go to a site like google.com then you could theoretically browse any site for free on their network.
All telecoms record traffic to and from your phone and the IP. Since the telecom is the company that gives the IP out, they can record the inbound and outbound traffic and take it off your bill. If outside of the region, you access the site, they will get a billing from the roaming partner you are on with the IP, IMEI, and sites you went to.
So, to answer your question: No, you can't make special web requests with an app to circumvent those controls since your phone, in a sense, would be hitting a website not registered at telus as their corporate site

I have just hired someone to develop an app for me. I want to know if there is a way to give restricted access for my developer, so that he is not able to use my apple login to buy things on itunes...
From developer.apple.com log into the member center and go to People.
Click Invitations and send an invitation to your new developer at their own email address.
The process for the developer accepting the invitation has them create a new Apple ID or link it to their own existing Apple ID. You will never need to give them access to your Apple ID. Just ensure that their role is "Member."
Now this is still separate from iTunes Connect. If you later want him to be able to administer your apps, etc., you can add their account there.

Is it possible to schedule turn on/off setting using MDM.
I just want emails of some specific account in specific duration of time i.e 8:00 am to 1:00 PM
Thanx in advance.
You can install/uninstall a profile using MDM. This profile could be Email or Exchange account.
So, generally speaking, your server can have a job which will install/uninstall such profile. However, ti will be a little bit more than turning it on/off. It will completelly remove an account (including removing all emails on a device).
If your server "knows" account passwords, you can push update to a profile which with correct or incorrect password, which will allow/prevent user from receiving/sending emails.
Update1
BTW. If you are hosting email or exchange server, you can terminate connection to it and allow/deny access to it based on current time.

I developed an app for the company who sells professional e-books by their website. In order to keep the content in sync with web data, app enforce login/registration and without that doesn't provide any functionality.
This is the reason why it has been rejected for Review Guidelines 17.2 Apps that require users to share personal information, such as email address and date of birth, in order to function will be rejected
My question is: is there a way to convince Apple to accept an app?
It is directed to the very specific proffessionals.
In the future the company want to add the possibility to sync books available on their website.
Also the books bought by in app purchase would be available on their website for the user account.
Isn't that enough reasons for Apple to accept this app? My client strongly want to have an account based app, the whole system was designed for that.
There is possibility to track user by udid but still it is not good solution because it is deprecated and Apple rejects apps using UDID for tracking reasons.
Does anyone have similar situation recently?
You say:
"app enforces login/registration and without that doesn't provide any
functionality."
Apple says:
"Apps that require users to share personal information in order to
function will be rejected"
So the answer is kinda obvious.
The app should provide (at least) some basic functionality without sharing personal data.
Maybe some book previews? 1 or 2 free books? App info? Why not apple's-bookstore? Does the website (before seeing anything) force you to signup too? Otherwise just make a web-app.

I have an iOS app that will only work with a UK IP address - therefore apple will not be able to review it correctly. How do people handle this type of problem when it comes to the review process?
Thanks
If it's possible, remove the limitation until it's approved. You can do it if you control the server or in the app itself downloading a small configuration file with restrictions, etc. before the actual connection stuff starts.
If not, provide them with a proxy with a UK IP address. You can set it up yourself or just get a 1 month (or so) service in a VPN provider. And add the corresponding instructions in iTunes Connect to configure the iPhone proxy (just in case).

I want to upload a paid app to andriod market from egypt, they told me that support is not available for egypt for paid apps. can anybody tell me how i can do that and what is alternative to that.
Thanks

Probably not viable, but this is the perfect solution.
Make a free version, and from there link to your own site where you can sell an activation code, no purchase goes through Google.
Might be a violation of TOS, I don't see why it would but I'd take a look into it before you take this route.
Ignore the store altogether.
Just sell the APK from your own site. Not a great option as it's hard for customer to find your app.
Make an account in another country, not sure if this is legal, and almost certainly against TOS. If you have family in other countries you could "sell" your source to them, have them publish it and send your 100% "commission" back.
I would seriously check with a lawyer before taking #4.
I'd go with #2 if it isn't a violation of TOS. Makes it a bit of a pain, but if the app store can't sell paid apps in egypt, then likely the population is used to making purchases outside of the app store.
(Disclaimer: I'm an android dev in Canada, and I have no knowledge of the laws or google policies in Egypt)
