Would anyone one know if Apple has restrictions on providing a user feedback/bug report form within an app? I've searched around but haven't found anything very clear. Might seem a dumb question but I don't want to waste time on it if it is not allowed.
Also, assuming it is allowed - I guess I would do it through a server-based php script, rather than trying to wire it up through the user's email. I am not trying to capture the user's email or anything like that - just feedback/bug responses.
Cheers!
I believe companies like Uservoice and GetSatisfaction have mobile sdks for submitting feedback about apps.
Uservoice lets people submit anonymously, GetSatisfaction requires an account.
You can do this however you would like, lots of apps support emailing feedback but if you prefer to put in the work you could also do custom fields and have it simply send the response back through your own server.
Yes, it's allowed, and there's nothing to stop you doing it through email either - what is the difference between emailing a bug report using MFMailComposeViewController and emailing anything else?

I’m currently developing an iOS application (with Swift 3). In order to improve the user experience for the sharing, I would like to integrate What’s App.
Indeed, after some actions, the user can, if he wants, share a PDF file with UIActivityViewController.
To assure the best user experience possible, it would be amazing if the user could share directly to a phone number with What's App (without the creation of a conversation before as it's currently possible).
Do you have any ideas ?
I didn’t find anything yet, or is it something impossible ?
Thanks for the informations.
Regards
According to their own documentation, it doesn't seem to be possible. You can read up on the possibilities here:
https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/iphone/23559013
But you can't pass a phone number or any contact information with your URL request unfortunately.
I am developing an app that will have a feedback form in it.
I am planning to do the form using HTML/CSS will not upload it to the web.
Will it work even if it is not published online?
What i'll be doing is to make a form using HTML/CSS and just call its index.html in the app using UIWebView. But of course the user will need internet connection to send the email.
Or you can give me suggestions on how will I able to do a feedback form in other ways.
You can use other 3rd party tools for managing feedback.
Instabug (http://instabug.com) is a good one, it isn't only text feedback but it can also be visual feedback with screenshot that the user can draw on, all done in-app.
It also sends an report with the device, OS, user location, connectivity, etc with each feedback sent.
Above all, it's free!
PS. I work # Instabug, let me know if you need any help.
I'm working on an iOS app that allows the user to like a Facebook page within the app. I've implemented this using FacebookLikeView. During the course of testing this functionality, I've liked and unliked the same page multiple times. Unfortunately, this seems to have triggered Facebook's spam detection. Now, when trying to like a page using the like button displayed by FacebookLikeView, the following error is presented: "URL could not be liked because it has been blocked".
Based on reports of the same problem found by searching the web, I've filled out this form to request that Facebook remove the block. However, I've received no response from them. I'm not sure how to proceed. Has anyone else run into this issue and successfully solved it?
With billions of pieces of content being shared on Facebook every month and bad actors constantly targeting the people who use Facebook, preventing spam isn't easy. Just as a community relies on its citizens to report crime, we rely on you to let us know when you encounter spam, which can be anything from a friend request sent by someone you don't know to a message that includes a link to a malicious website.
From : Explaining Facebook Spam Detection
This is no answer and what Donn Lee said is maybe the best answer.
My best guess at this is to send them lot information regarding you testing the app rather than abusing the system. You could try screenshots, contact info and explain what you are testing it for.
Try : Facebook Help Center
Developer Help : Rate Limits, Restrictions and Disables
Try filing a bug on the Facebook Developers Bugreporter.
If it's been a week and the site is still blocked, submit your site on this form.
if it comes down to no other option, there is also unrelated contact info on Facebook Newsroom, including the e-mail address press#fb.com.
Is support url necessary for app submission in the Appstore? I am registered as an individual developer and i don't have a web page for support url. What can i do?
The support url is now required. You can make a free account at a site like:
http://www.wordpress.com/
or similar.
I would create a free page at github pages. Simple and straight forward. If you need something simple it is the perfect choice.
Apple provides a bit more info in their help docs:
The support website you plan to provide for users who have questions
regarding the app. The support URL must lead to actual contact
information so that users can reach you regarding app issues, general
feedback, and feature enhancement requests. Specify entire URL,
including the protocol, as in http://support.example.com.
Only customers who purchase the app can see the Support URL on the App
Store.
This property is required and can be localized.

I think you will be fine, I had the same problem like this. I have submitted the app without the link and it got accepted and after that i have edited the URL.
I need a script that will add my phone with Twitter for All latest notification.
I found this page Twitter but i need to create script for my own application.
I goggled but i didn't get any solution For this.Please Help me to find this answer.
Thanks a lot in advance.
First Edit
This is a twitter's new feature Send notification to Phone. Actually I want to create an app that will allow users to register there phone with twitter via my application. Ie I need a script to implement send notification to phone.
The question that others are asking you Pankaj is what platform is your application being written for. You keep saying you want a "script" to do this, but what kind of script?
Giving us more insight to what your application is (a console application written in C#, or an ASP.NET web application) would lend more detail and raise the chances of someone being able to help you. :)
Regardless of your app's platform though, you're probably going to need to look into the Twitter API for setting this up. This is the normal method to interact with Twitter from 3rd party applications. So all the suggestions above, specifically the list of API's available, is probably what you're looking for.
Hey, can you give some more information? What kind of Phone are you developing for?
Maybe that helps solving your Problem.
If you are just searching for a way connecting your Phone to Twitter, here is the Twitter FAQ for Phone connecting:
http://support.twitter.com/articles/14014-twitter-phone-faqs
Maybe it helps, or give you more keywords for your search.
I don't believe there's a way to get or set the notification phone number using the API, however if a phone is already setup on the profile you want to configure, you can do the following to get notification from all user friends.
The user will need to authorize your application to access her account. This flow uses OAuth, and begins here:
http://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
Once the user has granted your app access, and your application has all the required OAuth credentials, turn on notifications using account/update_delivery_device:
http://api.twitter.com/1/account/update_delivery_device.json?device=sms
Next, fetch all the IDs for your user's friends using the friends/ids API call. Be sure to study the documentation; this call uses cursors, so you will have to manage those if the user has over 5,000 friends. Store these IDs for use in the next step. Here's an example call:
http://api.twitter.com/1/friends/ids.json?cursor=-1
Once you have all of the friend IDs, you can call notifications/follow repeatedly to enable notifications on your mobile device whenever your friend makes an update:
http://api.twitter.com/1/notifications/follow.xml?user_id=12345
This approach will burn one API call for each user that you enable notifications for; there's no way currently to manage notifications en masse.
