I would like to know how (if?) I can put an iAd into an App created using Firemonkey. I have only been able to find one answer to this (in months of regular searching), which directed the poster to Apple's iAd documentation. I know how to use iAd in XCode, my question is how to use it with Firemonkey and FPC.
I've searched all the source code for iAd and related terms such as "bannerView" with no success. So I think my question is really how to import these classes into FPC.
See Phil Hess' page for lots of information about ios SDK and FPC:
http://web.me.com/macpgmr/ObjP/Xcode4/
part3 discusses on how to build the iPhoneAll unit for the iOS simulator which enables you to use iAd functionality according to http://web.me.com/macpgmr/ObjP/Xcode4/iOS_Parsing_Status.html

Using Branch code for universal link implemented in Xcode but no luck lingering around since long plz help.
You need to provide more details about your problem to help you, like error message, code snippet etc, is hard understanding the problem that you have with generic question.
By the way please check apple official content to understand how Universal links works and how to implement this

I'm fairly new to Xamarin, and I was handed a PCL project and asked to add the option to take a picture "within" the application (not by simply calling the camera app). For iOS, it seems the only way to do this is using the AVFoundation library. However, when I went to look into the issue, it seems that they're relying on using UIKit and UIView controls to accomplish their tasks. Is there anyway I can implement this into my PCL project? Maybe by using a DependencyService? I'm at a loss here.
I was able to figure this out by using a CustomPageRenderer in the iOS portion of the app. I borrowed a lot of code from here.
I've been reading about UI automation using instruments, and the old documentation suggested that this is done using a javascript library to access frontmost app, then access UI view hierarchy.
I see that an iOS8 device has "Enable UI automation" option in the developer menu in settings. I also see that there's some documentation on the UIAutomation framework in iOS8, which seems to me like it allows to do UIAutomation from code.
Are there examples of using iOS8 UIAutomation framework from code that I can look at to understand if this is the framework for me?
I see this screen when looking for the info on UIAutomation framework, and I think it confused me into thinking that it is available in Obj-c or Swift, because of buttons on top. Can someone confirm that this framework is NOT available in either swift or Obj-c and is still a javascript framework?
.
I believe UIAutomation is still a JavaScript only testing framework. We would have heard otherwise at WWDC or in the release notes, if any other language was supported.
Concrete evidence of this however, is that the "Automation" Instrument used when profiling an app has no language drop downs to indicate another language is possible (like say, you do when creating a new class in Xcode and there's a drop-down for Swift and Objective-C).
If you use the automatic recording functionality built into the Automation Instrument, the code you see is JavaScript. The lack of options to select another language is telling. Instruments did get a minor visual tweak with Xcode 6 too, and this fact did not change.
The UIAutomation framework, sadly doesn't seem to get a lot of love of late (not much of anything has changed since the release in 2010 with iOS4, leading some to speculate there's a major revamp in the works or it's being forgotten).
To see what JavaScript code looks like that's aimed at writing tests for iOS, check out Alex Vollmer's Tuneup JS library: http://www.tuneupjs.org. His library provides a higher level abstraction, while still in JavaScript, over Apple's UIAutomation JavaScript classes.
He has a sample project linked there that runs tests on Apple's own UICatalog example application.
Using a library like Tuneup JS is a better way to go than the more primitive JavaScript classes that Apple provides, which are really just a starting point.
You should look into Subliminal. It's a testing framework which is built on top of UIAutomation that allows you write your tests in Objective C or Swift.

We have UIAutomation working in iOS 8 using the Illuminator framework (which I wrote), and use it in our CI. It is a set of extensions to the Javascript that UIAutomation provides.
Currently, Javascript is the only language for UIAutomation that Apple supports.
Does anyone have any idea on what framework Facebook App, and Flixster App are using to create the custom detail view look that slides on the side. I have looked all over and havent found anything, but thought that it may be worth asking.
Facebook traditionally implements their own UI and releases much of it as open source code in the Three20 library. However, it does not look like Three20 has gotten an update since the new Facebook was released.
Here is another open source implementation that uses this functionality: https://github.com/mystcolor/JTRevealSidebarDemo
Given the vast amount of engineering talent Facebook has, I would be surprised if they were using some 3rd party framework for this functionality.
Facebook released their UI tools for iOS on Github. It's called three20. You can check out the source here: https://github.com/facebook/three20.
Is there any way to use WebKit for developing iOS applications in xCode? I'm pretty sure you can use WebKit for making Mac applications, but how about iOS ones?
Yes, just drag out a UIWebView from the Library. You have less control over the content but it works to display webpages and javascript. However it may or may not suit your needs, depending on what you're looking for—you haven't specified.
