I have to update my app to handle the situation as per the image shown. It used to work when I logged into the website and the login for was just displayed as a normal website.
But now since the update it comes up as a UIAlertView, I have seen this similar when I log into my router at home.
However the UIWebView in my app does not show this alert. Mobile Safari does show this.
Is there any way to get the UIWebView to show this or is it just suppose to come up when required?

Currently I use TWTRTweetView from TwitterKit to display the tweets. When I tap on the tweet, the iOS system's popup shows up "MyAppName" wants to open "Twitter", and gives 2 buttons, Cancel and Open respectively.
Then the problem is no matter which button I press on, it will redirect to the twitter native app.
Ok, I have downloaded their source code and looking into it. And I drew a flow diagram to illustrate the issue.
As the diagram shows, the twitter SDK will try to call the deep link on tap first, if user taps "cancel" on the apple's default pop up, then the SDK will try the second attempt by calling universal link. This will cause the issue as I described in the question, which is even user taps on "cancel", my app still redirects to twitter app.
I have home screen quick actions for my iOS 9 app, but I don't need it to open the app. It actually schedule reminders and that's it. Is there a way to make the home screen quick action not to open the app?
Quick actions are designed to be used to quickly navigate to a section of your app, eg on the camera app there is selfie mode, box mode, panorama mode, timelapse mode etc. These are all sections of the app. To the best of my knowledge you cant have a quick action that just runs code without opening the app. Otherwise how will the user know that the code has worked and it has been executed?
This functionality would be cool but i believe it is impossible as of current. The closest you can get is make it so it opens the app to a ViewController that just says "Reminder Scheduled".
I'm developing an iOS 7+ app that I need to offer the option of navigating to a certain web page to let the users to fill in a form there, and after that to come back to the app's view where the user was.
Is it possible to programmatically open Safari with a given url? If it is, I suppose that then there is no way to automatically redirect the user to your app from there... right? Is then a UIWebView the only option? Is it possible to navigate back or dismiss the view with the UIWebView without the need of user interaction?
Thanks
You can open links in Safari as detailed in this post How to launch safari and open URL from iOS app
I don't believe you can set a 'callback' and have it return to your app on completion, as you have no control over the user once they have exited your app's sandbox.
Opening the link in UIWebView would provide control, as you can utilize the UIWebView callbacks.
I want to add a UITabBarItem on the TabBar which when clicked opens up Safari instead of loading its corresponding tab. (Not UIWebView but the app goes to background and opens up Safari instead)
I already know how to do this, but I was wondering if this is allowed by Apple. I know they're OK with using the TabBarItem to trigger other actions such as opening a modal in the app, etc. However I am not sure if it's OK to open a safari.
I am just being cautious because I don't want it to get rejected for this and wait another week.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be allowed.
But: it could lead to confusion amongst your users, because they would most likely not expect that touching an item on the TabBar leads to an app switch. I would rather open a webView and offer the additional possibility to open the page in Safari.
There is no harm doing such and it is also allowed by Apple.
But, I would personally suggest to use UIWebView, over Safari navigation. Because it will create unhealthy user experience, where he/she requires to jump around to swith in-between Safari and App. Rather you can open the same link in UIWebView, which will kepp our user in app only.
I know there's no way to add a home screen bookmark automatically within a mobile web app, however, is there a way to DETECT if one has been created?
You could prompt the user to bookmark your app and then save their response (seen here on Mobile Boilerplate). This would allow you to "detect" if they have already added it.
The Mobile Bookmark Bubble is a JavaScript library that adds a promo
bubble to the bottom of your mobile web application, inviting users to
bookmark the app to their device's home screen. The library uses HTML5
local storage to track whether the promo has been displayed already,
to avoid constantly nagging users.
