iPhone newbie: is possible to use NFC on iPhone? - iphone

I'm looking to start to develop an iPhone app, and I'm looking for if I can have access to the NFC chip. I've read when the iPhone 6 was released that the NFC was not able for the developers
Thanks

For what I've seen.. looks like still is being available just for apple pay.

CoreNFC is introduced in iOS 11 SDK for reading NFC Tags
Apple Documentation of CoreNFC

Is it possible to use NFC on the iPad?

everybody,
I am currently developing an iOS application. This application should make it possible to read NFC tags with an iPad. The NFC has already been successfully tested on an iPhone 7 / 8.
As soon as I test this function on an iPad (2017), the NFC dialog will not open and it is not possible to read NFC tags.
The implementation was carried out under Swift with the CoreNFC.
Development environment:
xCode 9.4.1
iOS 11.x.x
Signing debug certificate available
Do you have any ideas?
Near Field Communication is not supported on any iPad models at the moment.
CoreNFC on iOS is supported on iPhones from iPhone 7 onward.
An NFC accessory reader such as the FloBLE Plus can enable NFC functionality on the iPad.
Disclaimer: I work for Flomio, an NFC, BLE, and RFID company that specializes in helping developers integrate these technologies in their apps.
No iPad models feature NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.

Ibeacon app developing

Just started reading about this ibeacon that apple is selling out to retailers. If I wanted to created an app that connects to these beacons.. how can I do so? Cant seem to find any apis or any help for doing this, it is a relatively new technology. Also, can Android devices also utilize this technology?
Apple has an app called AirLocate that they released at WWDC this year. If you search on "AirLocate" you can find it online.
It is an app that lets you turn your BLE-capable iOS device (iPhone 4S or later, iPad mini/ iPad 3 or later, or 4" iPod) into either a beacon or a beacon detector.
With that source it's quite easy to figure out the basics of iBeacon programming.
As the other poster said, the newest Androids are able to detect beacons, but so far the firmware does not support sending as a beacon.
Yes, Android devices can interact with iBeacons using Radius Networks' Android iBeacon Library.
You can find a table that compares the APIs for both Android and iOS on this page. You may also want to Google for a tutorial.

TV out an iphone application

I would like to display my application running on iphone on a big screem, either TV or using a projector. After a long search I heard about the undocumented API MPTVOutWindow which fullfill's my requirement. But i think this is not approved by apple. Is there any other options available in latest SDK to TV out an application
The class you want to look at is UIScreen it has support for external displays using the iPad VGA connector in iOS 3.2 (iPad) and iOS 4 (iPhone).
This blog post has a good example on how to use it: mattgemmell.com: iPad VGA Output

iPhone: Ovi maps

I want to use Ovi map in my iPhone application. I searched for Ovi map on google but presently it is not open.Basically I want to know following things
OVi map service is from Nokia. So can i use Ovi Map in my iPhone application.
If answer of 1 point is Yes, then where I found support info(code sample/classes/framework) for iPhone.
Please advice
Ovi Maps developer beta is currently closed, but you can register to be notified when it goes public here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/Ovi/Develop_with_Ovi.xhtml
If you want to use the HERE maps service (formerly Ovi Maps) on iOS, a native iOS SDK is not currently available. To use HERE maps, your best bet (at the moment) would be to use the Mobile HTML5 Framework which can be used for cross-platform mobile HTML5 development
According to the support matrix the following OSes are supported:
iOS 4.3+
Android 2.2+
Meego
Blackberry Touch devices OS6, OS7 (experimental)
Windows Phone 8.0 (experimental)
It is not possible to use their SDK on the Iphone. They use the Ovi Maps service to promote their mobile phones just like google offers free navigation to android devices.
Therefore I think that they won't open up their API for not Nokia developers in the near future.

In App SMS in iPhone SDK 4.0

Does any one know how to implement In App SMS functionality in iPhone SDK 4.0

In order to not violate NDA, I direct you to read about this class, and ask about it in Apple's Developer Forums.
