My company want to make an application which like a bookshelf can load more books when the application finished, they want the application to be able to load more plugins without destroying the already installed code: when the app has been purchased and downloaded from the app store, the user can buy plugins in the app store and install them into the app.
Can anyone tell me how this could be achieved? Thank you very much.

You have to choose right platform for creating plugins and then you need to link installed plugins to correct app
I don't think you'll be able to check that before installing plugins the app has to be installed
Second way will be using in-app purchase and downloading plugins to program data directory
I think the second way is more usable and more valid, because in AppStore cannot be sold application which is not standalone, and depends on another app.

The task is to use different API URLs inside the Flutter application for the app installed through the Testflight and for the app installed through the App Store.
Libraries like: store_checker and detect_testflight
do not give 100% results, and I cannot be sure that they will not stop correctly detecting the installation source after the next update.
I also cannot rely on the kReleaseMode constant, since there is no way to create a build that compiled in debug mode and uploads it on a Testflight. This can only be done in release mode.
Using custom configuration files and setting up the .gitattributes file also seems like a perversion, and is not suitable because, besides the local repositories of many developers, bitbucket is used, in which I cannot add my merge driver. Also, there is no guarantee that other developers will use this driver.
Tell me a simple and concise way to implement this? Didn't Apple come up with the idea that developers would need to use different settings for builds in Testflight and in App Store?
We are developing an app with flutter framework. Want to know how can we achieve the following functionality.
Base app will have minimal features
App should list the available modules to add to the existing app.
User should be able to add these (either with in-app purchasing or free)
User should also be able to disable/uninstall these modules.
I read about packages and plugins. I felt that they are to be included at development time in pubspec.yaml. But I want to add these modules from an installed app at runtime.
What I can think off right now is to use Android AIDL to create an assistant apk. Then you can sell it on the App Store.
A short tutorial is available here.
I have an application which is already in App Store.I have to check the branch linking feature I added using Branch.io in development build.That is, when a user shares something on social networks, clicking on the shared post should open the application installed. So how do I check this functionality in development build?
Alex from Branch.io here: Branch doesn't know (or care) how the application is installed onto your device. Installing directly from Xcode and using a beta distribution system (TestFlight, Hockey, Fabric, etc.) are treated exactly the same way as going through the App Store.
Here is a flow you can use to test this:
Install a build of your app that includes the Branch SDK
Generate a link and post it somewhere like iOS Notes
Uninstall your app
Open the link and let it redirect all the way through to the App Store page
Close the App Store
Install a build of your app locally (using either Xcode or TestFlight/Fabric/etc.)
Open your app
The link data will be returned to you, exactly the same way it would be when your app is installed from the App Store by a user.
we have a ios app that provides the platform for many similar games. When you install this app. This app already contains binaries of x number of games.
Now we are having size issue. So just wanted to know is it possible to create a ios app that can get installed and after that as per user selection can download the games binaries separately and then run. Like a app that can download games as plugins or extensions.
I work on game side part so i dont know anything about ios apps. but so far my understanding is -> when you create the ios executable then while compiling you should have all the code present (app + all the games it will run).
It is not possible to download a native executable and run it -- that is not a capability provided by app extensions.
One loophole you might consider: it is perfectly permissible to download and run javascript, or anything else that runs in a UIWebView or WKWebView, which are both sandboxed from your iOS App's process, and have access to OpenGLES 2.0 in the form of WebGL. There are also apps which have been accepted in the App Store which can run code in interpreted languages like Python.
I just want to know that can i make an application which have some plugins in it, when user install that application then some plugins also get installed? for example I make a plugin which have some smilies and when i open Facebook application all that smilies get available to me in that application and in my application also.
Still what i studied is that you cannot make any thing for iphone that wants to make change or access OS level. SO this in not possible for iOS. But this is some how possible for JailBreak
