When building an app using iOS and AWS, would you recommended using SSL to shuttle data back and forth from user to server?

Sure, why not? Given how more and more countries (and even ISPs acting independently) are heading in that direction it's more important than ever to secure communications from prying eyes.
Granted, encryption does consume more CPU power but for short transfers it shouldn't make a difference. How much data (in bytes) were you thinking of transferring between your iOS device and AWS?
Remember to check the certificate itself to ensure it's still valid and is a genuine Amazon cert and not an imposter.

I already have a fair bit of experience making rails applications, but I have never really tried to make an application with the use of a microphone. I don’t need to have video call, only voice, but I would want to control how many people could connect to a single call. Also I would like it to not have to do with actual phone numbers, but have a completely separate service like skype. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
This is not a trivial rails app, but just from googling I found Adhearsion
Check it out: http://www.adhearsion.com/
Adhearsion is a full-featured framework for the development of
applications which interact with or control voice communications.

My app has to integrate uploading image to set it as profile picture. The thing is all the images has to be stored in web services.
As web service has not been yet created. what is the best way to store images for temporary purpose so that i can integrate it easily when i have been provided with the backend.Sample tutorials can be helpful
My best idea is to use FTWCache (https://github.com/FTW/FTWCache) and cache it localy. Later, using webservice, you can still use your already written cache mechanism to implement NSURLConnection with caching. Profit! ;-)

I am going to need to have encrypted messages between my app and my server.
I was going through apple's documentation to find something about that issue.
(basically I need to encrypt the way the communication is going on so that no other app can imitate that and use my server)
Does anyone know if this can pose a problem with Apple?
No apple has no problem with this, but....
If you are using strong encryption you will have to get a licence, look at this site for more details. The documents they provide when get the licence you will have to upload to apple when you publish your app.
I also found this SO which points to this blog which details how to obtain permission.

If you were building a service like Instagram, when you need
-a web app
-android app
-ios app
How do you make the architecture for this to give enough flexibility to add another mobile system and keep the code as DRY possible? Do you have books to recommend about it?
In order to allow the server to support a wide range of client plattforms, I would make all client apps communicate with the server with the same protocol, so that the plattform the client runs on doesn't matter for the server. In an ideal case this would allow to add a new plattform without changing anything on the server-side
XmlHttpRequest is a good common denominator.

I want to block the particular website from access to user. Is there is any API to block the website on blackberry.
Or is there is any way by which i can get the notification that which website is opened.
thanks in advance
This is possible if you are device is using BES. I'm sure that it would have to be controlled by an IT Policy in the BES. A single, standalone application should not be able to simply take control such access controls.
I don't know much about how BES works, but my understanding is that if you have administrative access to the BES infrastructure, you can institute "IT Policies" that can control pretty much everything about the devices that operate with your infrastructure.
