This might be obvious but I'm going to ask anyway!
Are there any restrictions by apple regarding using a phone app to record and upload video to a website?
no there is not.

Hope this question is okay, and hopefully not too stupid. I am not an Apple user, so not really familiar with how iPhone users do stuff.
We run a digital download store, and we use xSendFile to deliver files to users when the click the download link. Straightforward stuff I thought.
We have been receiving an increasing number of support emails from iPhone users saying they cannot download files from our website.
A bit of research suggests that the only way that iPhone users can download a file is by jailbreaking their iPhone, and installing a 3rd party download app. Can that possibly be true? More confusing still, because you'd expect iPhone users to know whether they can or cannot usually download files? Puzzling stuff.
A lot of the iPhone file downloading apps I looked at were not useful for our needs anyway, because you need to enter a direct URL to the file. If you are serving files via PHP or something like xSend, then those apps won't work.
I am wondering if anyone with experience in needing to send files to users – some of whom might be using iPhones – are there any best practises for that? Or, anyone with experience with similar kinds of headaches?
Any pointers you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
I just recently submitted my third app to the app store - I have never been asked for a video to demonstrate the functionality of the app. Is this a new requirement? Also, would recording the app functionality on Quicktime (connected to my device) suffice to meet this requirement?
I am sure they get thousands of apps, but I even provided an intro tutorial about the app works - which would be faster than watching a full demo video. Smh
We began the review of your app but are not able to continue because
we need access to a video that demonstrates your app in use on an iOS
device.
You can use Quicktime to record your screen. In my team, we recorded app preview video with Quicktime and it is accepted. Also you can find more information here. And video is required because it gives information to user about your app and Apple says "app preview can help customers better understand your app and encourage more downloads."
What Apple team asks in the review process can be something simpler than an app preview video. They just want a video demonstrating the app, and it will not be used as an app preview in the store.
We had the same issue and after providing them the link to a demo video, the app was accepted.
The video was simple: navigating through the main views of the app, clicking the UI elements, basically presenting the app.
Anyone know if there is anything you have to do as a developer of an app to get your app to be suggested form the lock screen in iOS 8 (I'm talking about when the app isn't installed, so it takes you to the app store)? The only information I've been able to find about this is speculative at best -- most seem to conclude that this is either based off of the "apps near me" that the app store has, or direct arrangements made with Apple. Anyone know for sure?
This can be achieved using Passbook

I was wondering if its possible to write an ios app that 'disables' other apps from opening?
For example, when I press the disable button on my app, I cannot open whatsapp for the next 15 minutes.
If that's not possible, could a workaround such as blocking all HTTP requests to a certain URL be possible? or even blocking (or turning off) notifications from certain apps?
I've also been wondering whether or not a security module might disallow such code..
Any help would be much appreciated!
None of the suggestion you made in your question will work on a AppStore app. Since the app is sandboxed it can not interact on the level you want with the system.
Your only possibility is to write an app for jailbroken devices.
There might be private API present as per your need but one thing is clear if you target for Apple AppStore ,it will be rejected due to its policy as aslo said by other person. Moreover ,If you still wana develop it you should go for it and there is Cydia which is a appstore for jail broken phone so you could upload your app and try to sell it off. Hope this info is useful for you.
Do somebody of you know, where to get complete information about options/properties of native iOS safari smartbanner?
For example - For how long smartbanner is hidden when user presses close, or "View" application in iTunes?
I've just closed my during testing and now can't get it back, so i don't know if it still works or not.
Thanks in advance.
The only documentation available on this is over at the Apple Developer site, Promoting Apps with Smart App Banners
