I’m trying to look into network data from iPhone, when I start the mitmweb or mitmproxy the YouTube app and Instagram app stop working. I tried to use tla passtrough script, returned with some errors, tried to ignore hosts (YouTube.com and Instagram.com) same thing. If I use the web version As soon as I input the domain, stop logging. There is any way I can track ignoring the app request? Or there is any way to track a specific https2 site only? Sorry for the long question, I’m not a programmer.
Bottom line I need to track the full url from a specific site.

I want to show some really simple graphics in a http-page in the local network using an iOS App as local server.
Now I heard showing some http-page over the local network is quite easy, using for example CocoaHTTPServer.
Would it also be possible to adjust the content of the page dynamically, from the iPhone side?
Meaning
user types in URL at the desktop-pc-browser of his choice
user goes to his sofa, flicking through text/images with his iPhone, looking at the remote screen
(no need to go to the browser to refresh page?)
Would this be feasible?
Of course I could also try to set up some Bluetooth-Connection, connecting between iOS/MacOS Apps, but I figured the browser version would be much more flexible :)
Stable connection? No need to support each and every browser? Then open up a websocket connection between your app and your browser. You’d then advise your browser to reload or show another picture through the websocket.
If you need to support more browsers, you might need comet / long-polling support. I’m not sure, though, whether CocoaHTTPServer supports it.
If none of these work, you could have your webapp do an Ajax request every now and then, in order to check whether something has changed.
I've got a client that wants to have a paid app providing his video instructional content on iOS, but of course we dont want people simply getting the video content directly without paying for the app.
Is there some simple way of doing this that I'm overlooking? He wants the content streamed so he can add content easily and periodically without app updates.
Perhaps using Youtube but having the videos password protected? Is there a service anyone has used with an appropriate iOS API that anyone has heard of?
I've never done this before, but you could do some kind of token exchange based on the device ID. When the app is first used, register the device ID with the content server, and use that in combination with a salted hash of some kind to identify the device when requesting the media from the server.
I'm considering two options right now.
1- Following this post (roughly) In iOS, how would you programmatically pass a username / password to a secure site and essentially doing a combination of .htaccess for password protection, leveraging robots.txt to prevent search engines from indexing the videos, and obfuscating the video names. I've got to research the password protection of the video directory and how exactly to do that... but it seems the simplest. The downside is the clear text password.
2- A slightly more sophisticated method where I use oAuth to authenticate against but really following the first path, and potentially leveraging http://maniacdev.com/2010/09/new-open-source-oauth-library-for-easy-authentication-on-ios-devices-from-google/ to help in writing the oAuth piece.
a third possibly prohibitively expensive option is to look at the HTTP live streaming in OSX server https://developer.apple.com/streaming/
How do you guys think these options sound? Are there others I'm not considering?
Assuming you built a page for each specific mobile browser (Android/iOS/BB/etc.), is it possible to have a web application capture an image and send it to the server for processing?
I'd like there to be "Nothing to install" for my application, but if I need to reach out to the hardware at all, I fear it's not possible.
There is the Video Capture API but I have no idea how widely spread addoption is at present and it is very new.
IF this api isn't avalible there isn't really much you can do other then asking users to upload it using a standard file upload and them to take the picture before hand.
This is one area that a native application would be far far better as intergeneration would be easier and more seamless for the user.
I'm pretty sure that due to the Application Sandbox, none of this is possible, but...
I am working on an application that operates on text that the user inputs. Aside from forcing the user to copy and paste from another application or type in text, what other options exist for getting text? To be more specific:
Is there any way to get the user to "pass" an email to my app? I can imagine a hacky solution where I have the user mail it to a server on the Net, and then I expose the mail from a server-side application, but I'd like something a bit more direct.
Is there any way to get to the user's mail inbox without asking them to put in their credentials?
Is there any way to plug-in to Safari, so that I can send web pages "over" to the app? I don't mean a full plugin, which I know is impossible.
I'm trying to think of creative ways to solve this problem of how to get text into my app, so any ideas would help.
From the Iphone SDK Forum: "Apps can't read each others files - but you could use a URL scheme to launch one app from another. Any parameters in the URL would be passed."
It's what my gut was telling me, but i wanted to go verify before saying..officially, no. The Sandbox isolates each program..
You can pass via URL text strings, but that's about it. I haven't seen any app which hacks around this limitation, but that just may be none of them surviving the app submission process.

We have a web application and we've built phone applications (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry) to be companions to the site. The usual workflow is that an existing user of the site gets a phone app and then plugs their existing credentials into the phone app and they are off and running, but more often now we are seeing folks who are downloading the app and then (and this should not surprise anyone) don't read the help screen that explains they need to go and get credentials at the web site and therefore cannot connect to the application which does require registration to manage their content. This is a giant usability fail condition.
So we know that we need to put user registration workflows on the phone app.
Other than the obvious solution of duplicating our registration page on the mobile, does anyone know of a better identity solution for the phone? For example, on the desktop we also use Facebook Connect as an identity server and the users love it. I'm looking for something that simple that we can implement across the major smartphone platforms.
Clarifying note:
I should add here that this registration mechanism is likely to; and it would be desirable if it did, go hand in hand with a general identity/authorization mechanism such as the Facebook mechanism mentioned below.
One other place I'm poking around is to see whether there's an openId solution that does not require a browser to pop up.
Restful service might be the e asiest way for you to achieve this, you can use it on any device that can make http requests, so you can make your own login screens and talk to the s ervice that way...
Facebook has a Connect API for the iPhone. Integrating it into your iPhone app is very smooth.

On the BlackBerry we were able to build a fairly robust REST pipeline between the client apps in the field and our servers. We primary use the framework for updates, but the device API is generic enough to be able to build almost anything you need via standard HTTP/HTTPS GET/POST calls.
On the RIM platform, look into the HttpConnection API as a starting point. There is also an example on the BlackBerry Developer's site which will help. Finally, I believe there are several examples inside the sample package that comes with every BlackBerry JDE (IDE + API download).
