I have made an ipad app in which I want to implement a log in using active directory authenticaion. so far, i have not found anything on how to do this. I want to use the ipad's mac id to authenticate against the active directory. How can I implement this, or is there any other way I can implement a security log in to my app
We have just created a free SDK to enable you to add Active Directory authentication to your mobile application. You can also register your backend web service and the mobile application can request a SAML token for your backend to provide single sign-on for the user once they login for the first time. The solution is free and works even if the user and device are on a public network.

We built this service since we had not seen any other way to do this aside from embedding a lot of ldap and kerberos inside the app which also would not work if the user was on a public network.

What options do we have to enable a user of an app to share a file with another user on another device ?
My application is a task management app, I want to enable my users to share lists, notes, etc.
I haven't found a way to do this with iCloud.
Depending on how you want to implement the work-flow, there are a number of ways to accomplish this.
Spotify allows users to sync files between computers and mobile devices, if both are on the same local network. You could use Bonjour to discover if there are any valid endpoints on the local network, and then sync directly over a TCP/IP socket.
If you're looking for cloud sync, Parse provides a cloud-app-api service that lets you easily store objects, including files and binary data on the cloud. You'll have to write your own user management layer, but they provide API's for storing and retrieving data.
From the comments, there are other companies that provide similar services to parse: Buddy, Stackmob, Kinvey, and applicasa to name a few. The idea is to leverage an API-as-a-Service provider for all backend needs.

I have a potential client that wants to build a platform agnostic application. Initially it'll run on a windows 7 tablet and will expand. Its a roofing business, so they're going to take pictures with the camera, fill out some forms, and then generate a report from it. The first thing I can think of is making an API call to a web service I create that does some crystal reports magic them returns to the client.
Problem is, they aren't always guaranteed internet access. What can I do here? My thoughts right now are building the app in rails or MVC 4.
It is pretty hard to answer your question since it won't be an exactly answer, but my thougths are:
1° - Build a Windows Phone app that will fill out everything that is
needed and store locally
2° - Do a background process that will send this via rest calls to a
service
3° - Build the service to receive the requests and a rails app to the
client to login and have access to the reports this can be made in
rails
This is a possibility if they need to access reports from anywhere. Otherwise the reports could be made in the tablet itself.
Just some thoughts, the solution may take a very different path, since you were not accurate enough to a definitive answer.

I tried to find the answer to this question but could not, to be more precise, some apps like instagram have a custom backend, like they have a profile tab in the app where the users profile is stored, including the pics they upload.I want to know how is that page created, and how is the data saved to that page.So in short,if for my app I want to have a profile tab,how do I go about creating it, and how is the data storage done? I wanted to know whether the profile page under my profile tab is created, as in is it done in Xcode or some web design application and linked to Xcode?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking for the detailed process,just what software is used and a basic outline.
The back ends are PHP or any other server side languages, these are presented as service APIs interface, the most common is RESTful interfaces, the application connects to these RESTful services to store and retrieve data from
You may also want to read up on core data as any offline profile data is probably stored in core data or as NSUser Defaults.

I am new to bb app development. Now I'm supposed to develop a Twitter application for blackberry. How do I start my application.. is there any Twitter API for blackberry?
I have created the UI of the login page, but how to start with authenticating username and password? I have registered my app in twitter now I have the consumer key and secret, but I dont know how to use that.
Anyone knows about twitter apps for blackberry or have any sample code for Twitter?
You may use TwitterAPIMe.
You may find how to use the API in the link.
I used it, it's easy and working well with good performance.
PS, you must be RIM4.6 or higher

Do you know a twitter library for Windows 8 metro apps?
I haven't seen one up yet, BUT there is a sample in the Windows 8 Samples Projects that shows you how to get connected to twitter (and I think does a small task with the Auth Code using the Twitter REST API).
Generally speaking the oAuth (authentication) part is usually the hardest (this is true of Facebook, DropBox, and probably many others). Anyway the folder you want to check out is the "Web authentication broker sample" folder. That contains an example of connecting to Facebook, Twitter, and a few others.
