Is there a way to submit an app to the App Store where the age will be 18+? The App Store currently says 12+ but we would only like 18+ using the app.
Where do I configure this?
Over at https://appstoreconnect.apple.com you will need to fill out the age rating survey. Based on your answers the age rating will get calculated.
As far as I know the highest possible rating is 17+, e.g.:
Your selected app ratings is Ages 17+.
You can achieve this by selecting "unrestricted web access".

If all I want to pull is the current riders either first name last initial or first initial and last name is that possible without having to have a customer login to either my app or to give access to my app through UBER? I am trying to construct a simple lighting app where the riders name can be displayed on a screen or led light for better recognition of who a driver is picking up. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
I'm trying to integrate Stormpath to an iOS app (Swift), and would like to be able to show one user's data to another user.
In other words, can I show 1 user another user's information by searching my userlist for certain factors (such as age or geographic location) like I would be able to with mySQL?
Is this possible? I haven't been able to find documentation for this.
To do this, you would implement an API endpoint in your backend application that exposes whatever information you need (for example, another user's data), and then have your iOS app make a request to your API to retrieve that information and display it on the device.
Stormpath is really flexible and will allow you to do pretty much whatever you want with your user data, so as long as you can write an API call on your backend to retrieve the data, your iOS app can show whatever you want =)

I have submitted our facebook app for App center review, but it has been in pending status for 10 days, according to facebook App center guideline http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appcenter/guidelines/ "Once it has enough positive ratings and engagement, we will automatically review your app detail page and contact you if any changes are needed before it appears in a category."
Could anyone please tell me after a facebook app submitted for review, how to get enough positive ratings and engagement? What is exact rating/engagement amount? Where can I see the progress? Any facebook app center contact email?
Any help is appreciated.
Not to disappoint you, but we had our app being reviewed for 4 months and 11 days before our patience ran out. We had 50K users and 400 5* ratings out of 450 total ratings. It is insane how irresponsible FB is regarding reviewing content. We resubmitted the app for review and it took several days before the app was live in App Center.
Positive ratings is when users that installed your app rate it from 1 to 5 stars. Engagement is basically how many users installed your app in total and how many did not remove it within short period of time (the more the better). There is no exact amount, but for example 10K new installs in first week is better than 10K installs in first year, yet the number is the same. Same goes for the progress bar - Facebook has its internal metrics. Good luck with review.
We are unable to submit the application page / details for review in the App Center, because
"Your app does not have high enough ratings and user engagement to be reviewed for the App Center at this time".
I asked some questions about this:
1) How can we improve ratings without being listed in the Facebook App Center?
2) Our user engagement is about the same level as other apps in the same category, which are published in the App Center. What is a critical mass to be eligible for review? Which numbers are relevant?
The response I got from a Facebook developer:
1) We randomly ask users that uses your app to rate it.
2) There are no specific number. Our algorithm takes in as much data as possible and try to figure out if it is a high quality app. But in general if you get bad review you need more active users, And if you have good reviews you need less.
Update:
In our case, we had to disable the web and mobile web implementation in the App details section, because they had too few users (so only Android/iOS was still enabled - our main applications). After that we got approved.
The process for submission app is very tough. We need to strictly follow the guidelines. We need to sure what type of App we are developing and list of permissions are needed. Due to spamming by many Facebook App developers, Facebook app center required exact reason to get approve the required permission.
Here is an example of submission guidelines.
Tags
There may be scenarios where your app's users want to tag a friend. This tagging capability comes in two forms. One scenario is if the user takes an action with the friend (i.e. cooks a pizza with someone), and the other scenario is when the user simply wants to mention a friend (i.e. "Hey John Smith, let's make a pizza next time"). If you choose to choose to support both action and mention tags, clearly distinguish the two different use cases in your submission.
Action tagging appends "- with Friend" to the story.
Mention tagging allows your app's users to tag friends names within their user messages.

Please go through the submission guidelines as well. I hope this will help anyone.
I could upload two of my apps to App Center but now as though I don't have the correct gaming type option to be able to upload one
i have an app that i want to submit so i will be able to use in a client page/business profile. i need 5 total users and for some reason that people that open the app didn't count in for the total users.... is there something needed to be done in order for them to count.
second question is... if i will have an app for a specific page, is it possible (and how?) to have that same page do different thing with a variable in the query for each client tab we will have in the feature?
Update:
I don't want users - i want to use the app in the page tabs!
by "that people that open the app didnot count in for total users" i mean that the total user count is not going up
Is there any way to do this? There are a few users who continuously write bad reviews for all my apps immediately after every update. They're always pointing out competitor apps in an aggressive way. And they come from the countries where those competitors live. I am sure they ARE the competitors or hired by the competitors.
My app has built in twitter, facebook and please-rate-it-on-the-app-store buttons. I want to add them to a blacklist so when they get my next update, they won't be asked to do this bad things. I don't want to help them doing it, at least.
Maybe there's a way to programmatically get the iTunes account name which is stored on the device. Of course only if it can be done with public API. I just want to string-compare this at runtime against my blacklist and then simply not show those buttons for them.
First, you should not do this! I'm quite certain if this piece of code is detected you won't pass the review or your app will be pulled from the AppStore.
Second, you cannot access the users app store name in your app.
Third, just "Report a concern" and provide a reasonable explanation.
