I'd like to integrate the Box OneCloud AppToApp framework into my application. The integration seems easy enough, but I can't see any way to test the application with the OneCloud app.
At the moment, my app appears in the Box app's "Open in..." menu (because it registers the appropriate mime type associations), but the BoxAppToAppAPIInfo information indicates that this isn't a BoxAppToAppRequest.
Does anyone have any pointers on how we go about testing this?

I tried to submit an app to the Apple App Store on iTunes Connect and I got this error message:
"To configure this app as an iOS routing app, upload a routing app coverage file on the app's Version page in My Apps on iTunes Connect."
My app uses MapKit to show the locations of various monuments in the user's city, and to provide directions on how to get to them. I Googled this error and interestingly most people that have answered it seem to be saying that the file is actually not needed, but I'm not sure if that applies to the features my app offers.
How do I know if I actually need a routing coverage file? And if I do need one, can I make it cover the whole globe (i.e. the app should work anywhere in the world)?
The answer was to turn off MapKit altogether, eg. to uncheck it in the project capabilities tab. MapKit only needs to be turned on for "routing", which is a term I misunderstood. Routing means that other apps, such as Apple/Google maps, can use your app to display directions. I only wanted to show directions within my app, so turning on MapKit was unnecessary.
I'm developing an iPhone app with Swift which acts on certain file types (.xml &.zip). I've added these filetypes to the project file as a UTI (Uniform Type Identifiers). When accessing these sorts of files, usually from my email, I press and hold the file and a menu pops up from below. I choose my app icon that says "Open in MyApp". Is there a way that I can return to the email which triggered this event from within the app?
I've done some research on this and found that URL Schemes are the best way for inter - app communication, but you cannot arbitrarily open an app just to open it.

The vision I have in mind is sort of how Google apps communicate with each other. For example, when opening a link from gmail, it switches apps to chrome. When chrome loads, the page back navigator is in Chrome displays the text similar to "back to gmail"
In iOS 9 the system implements this automatically, as seen in this screenshot here.
Referring to a different article/question:
Delphi XE4 iOS open email program not working
Same symptoms apply to my situation. When debugging in the iPhone simulator, I can paste into the Safari Web Browser, 'mailto:info#example.com?Subject=test' (or whatever I desire, really) and the simulator then proceeds to open the Apple Mail Client with the specified parameters.
BUT, in my app when using the line:
OpenURL('mailto:info#example.com?Subject=test');
Well, nothing happens. I can replace the MailTo text with a web address such as, StackOverflow.com, and it works perfectly fine, but just doesn't when attempting to open the mail client.
Using Delphi Xe4, developing an app for iOS. Using the Apple.Utils framework provided with the Delphi Samples.
Am I missing anything? Or is there an easier way to open the mail client?
No one responded. There was an easier way - using an action sheet to perform the same sharing functionality that we see in just about all Apple software products. It is located in an example in the Delphi Samples. You can send text, email, etc. etc. Also can attach pictures.
Hint:
The share feature functionality does not work in the simulator but does actually work on devices.
Right now I am automating tests for an app using UIAutomation class. But my app has certain features which, I believe, can't be tested using just UIAutomation. For example, there is a feature that if a new contact is added to the addressbook, a popup is shown in the app. To test this feature a new contact needs to be added to the address book the popup should be checked. But UIAutomation automates user actions only within the target app. Can anyone tell me how can I automate these type of actions(preferably using scripts)?
i would recommend you automate with Sikuli. its mucvh easier to record and play. also u can any kind of alerts or popups
I need to develop a new app or code to simulate user interface in another already existing app and get textFields, messages, etc results. Something like KIF (https://github.com/square/KIF), but I would like it to be independently compiled (not embedded in the same project).
Any ideas?
If I understand correctly, you want to have App A to be able to interact with the UI of App B.
This is not possible.
