I want to run my application every minute in background on iOS. Can I do this ? Is there any example ?
Thank you.
Check out https://developer.apple.com/library/IOs/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/ManagingYourApplicationsFlow/ManagingYourApplicationsFlow.html
for a look at what you can and cannot do in the background on IOS.
Many tasks which you might want to do in the background can be done through the OS, such as notifications, but when your app is in the background, it should spend the majority of its time in a suspended case unless:
You need to implement at least one of several specific user services.
You need to perform a single finite-length task.
You need to use notifications to alert the user to some relevant piece of information when your app is not running.

I want to drop a particular call if caller number belongs to some 'black-list'.
Is there any such possibility to do this programmatically on iOS (iPhones and iPads)?
From my understanding, such program must be running all the time like system service but I've never seen such apps. If no, then I could run app by myself and put it in background, but will the app from background be able to do this, and finally are there ant methods in API for performing this?
There's no public APIs for achieving anything like that.
Moreover this is a functionality that Apple will embed in iOS7, as per the last WWDC conference.

I need to add unlockables to my application, but the problem is that I don't want to have to send out an update every time that I want to add something new. I have read a bit about servers and JSON and XML. I just wanted to check to see if anybody else had a better idea?
If you are talking about something like a logo change then, short of an app update, the only option you have is getting it from an outside source such as a server transmission. But now you are talking about in-app purchases which, if you have not already, should read up on.
https://developer.apple.com/in-app-purchase/In-App-Purchase-Guidelines.pdf
Server based image and/or text transmissions are easily done and if I understand your last comment correctly, these updates would not be very frequent anyway.

How can i disable the phone when user going over 10mph , disable means user can't use email or any text writing work.I am able to calculate the speed but not disable or hang the iPhone.
Please help me.
Thank You
You can't, You might be able to make your own app give a warning that you are traveling to fast. But there is no way to disable to iPhone.
All apps are sandbox and have limited acces to the other apps or the system.

Is there a way to make an app compile data from a website? I need to make an app that will display a name, address and some short details - but I need this information to be regularly updated and contributed to by admins, without requiring me to continually add the new information into the app.
I have not done an app of this kind before so any help or assistance would be most appreciated!
Mainly two types of web service available
SOAP
REST.
Use the parsing technique (XML parsing,JSON parsing) depends on the type of web service to parse the data.
The information will be updated automatically in your application when ever some change in the web service happens.
I hope you will get some idea.

I know this has been asked in the past, but I have seen no new posts since the hacking issues that took place in July regarding in app purchases.
I would like to use the in app purchase system to allow a user to remove ads from my application. This seems like a much cleaner solution than maintaining 2 separate apps (free and paid).
I would appreciate any feedback others have on this topic. I know apple has implemented a fix to stop the hacking.. but still wanted some input from the SO user community.
Thank you.
Use Apple's VerificationController to validate the receipts you get and you can safely use IAP under iOS 5.x. In my own app I use this regardless of the iOS version (5 or 6).
