Is default language app preview used in all localizations in AppStoreConnect? - app-store

If I only upload app preview video for default language, will it display in other stores/languages, if there's no app preview uploaded there in AppStoreConnect?
Didn't find info in official guides, and don't want to manually upload 4x12 videos :(

When You add a new language, by default it will take the preview video and screenshots of the Primary Language unless you press edit and put a localized version

To anyone who's interested - app preview is not used, if you have localized screenshots uploaded in certain localization. If you're only localizing texts, than you add a new language and clearly see what #Jabbar posted above.
But if you have localized screenshots but app preview is uploaded only in default language - than you'll have to upload app preview to each of those localized languages as well.
Strangely, if you don't do this app preview will play in app store search screen, but not in the app page.
Thank you Apple for being so clear about this!

Importing PDF files to app

I am trying to import a PDF file from other applications, such as mail, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for. I want my user to be able to tap on the share button in a PDF and my app to be listed there as a place that can accept them, such as "Copy to iBooks"
Any good tutorials? Or suggestions as to what I should look for?
Preferably in Swift
Thanks!
You may use Action Extension for making PDF available in your app
Below i have linked Some Tutorials for Action Extension which is not perfect for your requirement but you check the concept and basic implementation for it

You can tell your app which types of documents it will support in the info.plist. A good place to start is Registering the File Types Your App Supports
in the iOS documentation.

Can we use apple photo gallery image in our application?

For example (Above Image) the photo gallery image icon.
Can i use this image in my application ?
If i use this image then will my be rejected from the app store ?
If you use Apple's Photos App icon to do anything other than refer to or open Apple's Photos App or Photos Stream, then your app will likely be rejected.
Even then, it's not a good idea to use the icon since the Photos App icon may change:
Instead, use the system provided icons for referring to the image picker, etc.
No it may not be rejected by apple . Please go through the following link :-
Does Apple reject apps that use images used in Apple's apps?
"Reusing toolbar / button icons is fine and Apple probably appreciates
UI consistency. Many many apps make use of the Apple icons not
included in the core set which are in the app store. Using 'larger'
art will be frowned upon though, like splash arts / stock images."
Please check with the Apple forums. You can use the images but you can't use that image as an icon of the app.
Hope this helps.
If your application get rejected for using their icon, just resubmit with your own icon.
No, you can't use Photo Gallery icon in Your iphone Application,if you use then apple will reject your application.

How to localize App Store meta data for Phonegap app on iPhone

i'm currently wondering how to add more localizations to my PhoneGap App on the App Store. So it is already deployed, and in App Store it shows under Languages, right under the Icon "English, Spanish" but I never changed any configs or so to acheive this. I found in my xCode-project /App_NAME/Resources a en.lproj and es.lproj folder with Localisation.strings.
The standard way I found so far would be to do this.
But for some Reason those folder I create never appear in xCode. What am I doing wrong, and why can't I add more of these ominous XX.lproj-folders?
I'm totally stuck.
I can do javascript localisations for the app itsself but without this app-store languages I can't get my meta-data translated...
Any experience highly appreciated!
the best way is to do it from javascript since you're using PhoneGap.
retrieve the device/userAgent language (or locale, or simply ask the user for a preferred language) and then edit the content accordingly.
If you want to localize app store meta data, your app, or your marketing content there are tools out there now to speed the process such as TraductoPro, which also has built-in human translation ordering services. It even automates or 'macronizes' your code, making the xcode strings localizable. It's a Mac app, simple to use.

How to Edit MSWord documents in an iPad application

There appears to be iPad applications that can edit MSWord documents such as "Pages". My question is how can this be accomplished programmatically? Are these apps using OpenXML to do this or is there another way to do it. An API or something? Thanks in advance.
These applications such as Pages use private code to read documents and edit it. At this time there is no OpenXML library for the iPhone SDK. The iOS provides a way to display documents (doc, ppt, xls, pdf) by using the UIWebView but no other API.
Developing a word editor is a real challenge, we did a small rich text editor and it was a very interesting project.
Good luck!
You can now show a button which will allow the user to press it and send the document to another app for editing, the list of apps the file can be sent to is managed by Apple code, so you don't have to do much. Google "ios document controller"
