Is it possible to have a cross promotion page on your app that looks like the app store using LunarAds?
Here is an image of what I am talking about:

You can create a web view with a list of the apps. Customize the html to look like an iOS table view with a html/css framework such as UIUIKit.

I am stuck somewhere. My client wants me to develop an application that has a dedicated icon over other applications as well. For example – If I have an ecommerce application opened in my iPhone, there should be an icon over that application through which I can take screenshot and add the image to my application. I know this is possible in android, but is it possible in iOS as well, if yes then how?? Also refer the image attached for more clarification.
Share data between two applications
Historically, the iPhone has tried to prevent data sharing between apps. The idea was that if you couldn't get at another app's data, you couldn't do anything bad to that app.
In recent releases of IOS, they've loosened that up a bit. For example, the iOS programming guide now has a section on passing data between apps by having one app claim a certain URL prefix, and then having other apps reference that URL. So, perhaps you set your event app to answer "event://" URLs the same way that a webserver answers for "http://" URLs.
Have a peek under "Implementing Custom URL Schemes".
Is it possible to use the Markup feature from the Photos app/extension in my own app? I'd like to use this exact screen, if possible:

I have to build an iOS mobile app which has a web based admin panel.
Can you give me some tips on where to start?
I know OOP programming and the fundamentals of Swift (I have to use this language.)
The app I would like to build is kind of a reporting app. Users can log in to their dashboards and can send reports to the "office" which means they fill out a specific form. In the office managers can check the reports in a custom made web based admin panel (such as www.domain.com/reports-admin) where they can log in and view,filter,delete,save these reports.
Can I do something like this with Parse.com or I have to build my own backend from scratch?
Thanks for the help.
According to the backend, it doesn't matter if you are delivering the content to an iOS app or a Web interface. So yes your users can access it from the web or their iOS device. Parse.com can be easily used for the backend as they support many languages. The parse.com documentation is a good place to start.
In android apps, it's very easy to show a tooltip (they call that a Toast). But I can't find an easy way to do the same in iOS apps.
I saw several things about this question, but my goal is to publish my app on the app store, so I want to use a proper way to do these tooltips...
Then, is there any way to do a tooltip according to Apple philosophy ?
There is no Android Toast equivalent built in. Many people use MBProgressHUD.
Hoping someone can help me out. If I'm developing a Rails 3 app, but later would like have a mobile version later down the line, whether is iphone/bberry or anything else. Does this mean that the mobile apps will be developed from scratch or will they utilize the existing infrastructure somehow?
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thank you!
It depends on what type of mobile app you're talking about. You can create either:
A phone friendly version of your web app
A native app on the platform of your choice (iphone, bberry, etc)
If you go with #1 all you need to do is create phone friendly versions of your views. But your users will need to use the web browser on their phone to view your site. An example of this is www.engadget.com versus m.engadget.com. The latter is just the engadget website optimized for viewing on your phone.
If you go with #2, at the very least you'll need to create a native client app on the platform you select. However, if you design things right you can leverage much of the functionality that's already in your website.
Take twitter as an example. You can use the twitter website to use features of twitter or you can use a native iphone app like twitterific. The iphone app (probably) uses some twitter API to access functionality that's the same as when you use their website.
You will just need new views for mobile version.
You will need to probably output the data in the form of json or xmls if it is a native app so you will need to modify your active controllers. If it is web app or web page then you will need to modify your views to make them mobile browser friendly.
