I'm new to Google scripts, so I'm sure this is a simple question. I have a script that is linked to a button. It works fine on my PC, but when I push the button on my iPhone, it just selects the button but does not push it. What am I missing? If this is a limitation, what would be the best workaround, given that the script just verifies that all cells in the form are complete and adds it to a database?
google apps script interface elements inside sheets do not work from mobile browsers, as of 2016-09. look into building a mobile add-on, which google recently enabled.

We've been having trouble keeping Wonder available on Google Assistant and Home. We keep resubmitting and then find out there's some bug that gets us taken down.
One thing that has made it hard is that we cannot test Wonder in the simulator in the Actions Console. Here is what a session looks like: Wonder test session
When I expand the last message I see the following error: Cannot use standard Google Assistant features in the Simulator
Is there any way you could help us get this fixed?
The Google Assistant available in the simulator has a subset of the features of the assistant available in your phone or Google Home device. If you want to use the entire set of voice interactions, please use the assistant on your physical devices. If you want to test your smart home action, you can use Test Suite.
Also note that Google Home projects do not support dialogflow anymore. I see you have the dialogflow-es-fulfillment tag in your project. If your project is set up as a dialogflow project, you might need to set up a new Smart Home project on the actions on google console.
I'm messing around with creating a user interface for a Google Apps Script project using an HTML Service, and I've had a request to include drag and drop functionality in this project. I know that there are limitations on these HTML services (I have scoured this document, and it looks like it's saying that native HTML5 drag and drop isn't supported: Google Apps Script HTML Service Restrictions). Even though the new HTML5 API's aren't officially supported, is there a way I can get drag and drop to work? If not through native HTML5, through an external javascript Library? Or will Caja break the functionality?
My first few attempts haven't worked, so I figured I'd jump on here and see if anyone has any success getting drag and drop to work though some method or another in Google Apps Script.
Thanks!
Does work correctly in gas. What have you tried? Draggable etc work just fine using jquery with htmlServices without any special code.
I'm building a simple web app for iOS that will not be published to the AppStore.
For infrastructure limits (and my boss!) , I can't use xCode anyway to build the app in a native way.
The only NATIVE functionality required by the web app should be a simple "Add to contacts".
I've tried to implement it with phonegap , but it works only compiled under xCode.
Is there any way to "add to contacts" without building an app (using only a web-app )?
Thanks in advance
Andrea
I don't think there's a way for you to add a contact directly, using only a web app.
PhoneGap was made for this sort of thing, allowing you to access a device's features (like Contacts, Camera, GPS, etc). But if your company's project specifications don't allow for an app... I don't know that there's a way to do this directly, via the web.
If you're building a web app... while you may be targeting iPhones, you're still making it available to anyone with a browser. I'm not 100% on this, but having some way for a web page to directly manipulate a (Mac) user's contacts seems like a security issue.
As a test, I tried placing a vCard on a page, and accessing it via my iPhone. Changing the extension from .vcf to .vcard didn't yield anything (and for some weird reason it prompted me to open the file via Dropbox).
What did work was emailing myself the vcard as an attachment. I was able to view the attachment, which then gave me the option to add the info as a new contact.
Sorry for the long explanation. Thanks in advance to all who are taking their time.
I am an Ubuntu user who has set up Titanium Developer on a MacMini in order to build an app for the iPhone (and ultimately some other platforms).
Rather than having any local code built in, the app simply points to my website. To do that, all I needed to do was change Titanium's tiapp.xml file to include my website URL. I wrote no other code, nor did I need to include any other files. It simply compiled and ran in the emulator without a hitch.
I've got just one problem: I need to upload files to my website and Apple, as most of you know, has disabled the input field type=file. I've got it working in all other browsers. The action simply calls a php file and passes the file info.
If I didn't have an app, and someone was just manually navigating to my site with the iPhone's Safari browser, I could get around the problem by using CliqCliq, which is a very cool iPhone app. Basically, I use JavaScript window.open() to launch CliqCliq's QuickPic browser in a second Safari window. The user chooses a file; QuickPic uploads it; and the user is returned to the second Safari window that I launched with window.open(). The user closes the window and Safari returns them to the first window (i.e., my website).
The problem is that my website is being shown in my app. (By the way, I don't have my developer license yet, even though I signed up a few weeks ago, and I can't test this in the emulator because I can't install QuickPic into it, I assume.) I wanted to repeat the same steps, described in the previous paragraph, using an iFrame but that didn't seem to work (i.e., the iFrame was blank despite my designating a src). I also tried having a hidden window by using old-fashioned frames and setting the col-width to 0. That also did not work (i.e., Safari, if I recall correctly, opened a separate window).
I'm working a little blind, since I can't test anything on the iPhone, but I figure I have two options: I can either find a way to launch a QuickPic in an iFrame -or- I can find some way to incorporate the Apple toolkit file chooser into the Titanium app.
The problem with the first option -- but again, I don't know until I can try this on the iPhone -- is that I assume both apps (mine and CliqCliq's) could not run at the same time. Even if I had a hidden window, invisible iFrame, etc., the moment it launches QuickPic, I assume my app would quit(?).
The problem with the second option is that I don't have clue as to how to incorporate a file picker into my app by using Titanium (keeping in mind, everyone, that I know very little). Brian at CliqCliq has even offered to give me some code if I can't make Apple's file picker work but again, I'm not sure what to do next.
What do you folks think? What's the best method? And, what's the easiest thing for a simpleton to do?
Thanks.
<input type="file"> is not supported on the iPhone. You'll need to use Titanium's APIs, specifically the Media one (openPhotoGallery or showCamera).
As a side note, Apple reportedly rejects apps that are just a webview displaying a website. You may want to consider putting most of the app code in local storage and using AJAX to fetch content.
My planned iphone application will work a remote https web service quite hard so until a user decides to upgrade from the free to pro version of my app I need to generate a trickle of click revenue per free user.
I would like to embed a single line adsense widget within a native cocoa-touch iPhone application. The UI control I have in mind might not exist but would work something like this. The control would occupy a fixed portion of my application's default view and would be initialized by my code and provided with key words determined by my application. The control would then periodically ping Google's adsense system and display a single clickable advert link.
If the user was interested in a link a click would result in an exit of my application followed by the opening of the advertiser's link in Safari.
Has anything like this been done before?
You have to use a UIWebView with a Adsense unit inside it. I think when you are setting up a ad unit you can enter keywords.
This is most probably a violation of their terms, though. It may be a better idea to try using something else like http://www.admob.com/.
Since AdSense requires the content of the page it's on to serve up relevant ads, you're likely to get nothing but PSA ads, since Google can't crawl your app.
And like Isaac says, I'm sure it's against the AdSense terms.
Google's Mobile Adsense is on the run:
