I'm unable to figure out why there are random codes being shown in various places on this website. It doesn't happen on other websites. It also doesn't seem to happen on Android devices. It doesn't happen when connected to WiFi. On one iPhone with iOS8 it doesn't have it, but on another it does. On another iPhone with IOS7, it has it. I can't make any sense out of the codes. Any ideas?

As your comment suggests you might be seeing a tracking ID from your ISP, AT&T in this case.
Verizon uses the UIDH field which identifies someone to Ad services. It is essentially double-dipping, when the customer is also the product. Not to mention some website receives this header, combines user-provided data with the field, then selling this to someone else... Easiest data-collection strategy of their lives.

I am working on an app that needs to add a wifi network (i.e., SSID and password) to the list of known ones of the mobile phone, so that it connects to that network automatically even when seeing it for the first time.
I already did this on Android, and now I will start working on the iPhone version.
Question: On the iPhone, is it possible to have my app (when it runs for the first time) add a wifi network to the list of known ones of the device, and if so, any hints regarding how to do it?
Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately this is not possible on iOS.
Apple doesn't provide any public APIs to add network SSIDs or passwords.
The most you can do is to enable your app to manage the user's authentication for a public network, (as is done for things like Boingo and The Cloud). In this case, when the user joins a network, instead of a webpage opening to authenticate, your app can launch and provide the authentication - but that is as far as you can go.
We asked for clarification on this point to Apple in the dev forums and were told that it is definitely not possible. (I will try to dig out the link to that post for you when I get more time. Else, search your query on the dev forums and it might show up).
so it would seem that with iOS 6, there may be a way to do this. Boingo appear to allow a user to turn on "Auto Login" and it will login/authenticate against the access point without the user interacting/authenticating manually (I haven't tried it myself though). Is there new API calls in iOS 6 that now allows this? See this article.
I hope I've posted the question on the right place. Not so sure if it should be here or in ServerFault.Nonetheless thank you for those who will answer.
So we have this project where we want to get the SSIDs and/or MAC addresses of scanned WiFi Networks available via the iPhone (can't change devices now, so no do it on Android answers please). Since via iOS5 it has become completely impossible for non-jailbroken iPhones to do so (not sure) because of new security restrictions, I want to know if the opposite is possible. That is, is there any Access Point available that can record the information of the devices that did a scan, and put it in the syslog?
Or can you please suggest another way? The basic idea is that the iPhone must get a data from another device (in this case WiFi, and we're also thinking about bluetooth) and send it to a server.
EDIT:
I've read that it's possible to get the current SSID using CaptiveNetwork.h, can someone provide me information about this? Thanks.
iphone-wireless project looks like it might fit the bill. Specifically Apple80211GetInfoCopy
I've been researching for ages and still cannot find an easy solution that perfectly. So i stopped and figured i was going about this project the wrong way. All i need is an easy solution.
My project requires me to make a website that has forms (fields include images, text, urls, colors). When the user submits this form, somehow (THIS IS THE KEY QUESTION), gets sent to Xcode so that it can be used in and iPhone app.
My questions: What is an easy to use program to make a website that can do what i said? How does my website connect to Xcode (supply it with the data)? Is it possible for my app to check for newly submitted info?
Keep in mind that i don't have much coding knowledge as far as websites and i only a little about making iPhone apps (Yes, i have made some but not as advanced as this)
Thank you in advance!
It sounds like you want to build an IOS app that can retrieve user submitted data from the server.
Your form will have to post the data to the server where it is stored in your database. Images will have to be uploaded to the server as well.
You can then build a server-side api that returns data to the IOS device upon request. You can have your IOS app regularly request data from the server, receive the response and store what you need on the device.
There is a lot more to it of course, but from what I can gather from your post, this is what you're looking to do.
The workflow you describe doesn't make any sense.
It starts out easily enough: you have a website that has a form with a submit button. No problem there. Hitting submit likely does a POST to a server somewhere. Again, no problem.
Then you say the form data has to ultimately end up in Xcode. This is where things are really muddled. Xcode is a programming IDE for Mac OS X. I'm not sure how or what it has to do with handling data from a Web form. The two things are, for all intents and purposes, completely independent technologies.
Please describe in much more detail exactly why you think you need to "send data to Xcode". Otherwise, your question, as written, is unanswerable.
knowing that the review process for apps seems to be rather rigid to some extend I would like to ask if there are any special requrements for an app that is targeted to work with certain Midi interfaces only. The particular reason I ask is that this app can not really be tested when not connected to such an interface. Thanks
There is no specific rule regarding this.
App Store Review Guidelines
To be on the safe side, describe this when submitting the app, there is a text field to add a message to the reviewers.
In the meanwhile I submitted my app and it got rejected in the first phase because I did not include a demo video. So after I created one and put it on YouTube, provided Apple with the link, everything went well.
So as a definite advice not to loose time until Apple comes back after a week or two to just tell you to provide a video - include it right from the beginning....
HI,
I am developing an application for an esteemed client in Australia. They have certain copyright issues when it comes to uses outside Australia accessing the content via the app.
Is it possible to have a local and an international version of the app, both available via iTunes Store? The international version will only have permissible content. If not, please advice the best option to deal with this issue.
Thanking you in anticipation
Cheers,
Amit
Yes, you can create two versions of the application with different SKUs. The best way to do this would by by using a wildcard certificate and using a different project identifier in the application's plist file.
Using the administrative panel on iTunes Connect you can then restrict the sale of the SKUs to different territories.
These options become available when you have paid the $99 for a development certificate, and and when you upload your application to iTunes.
As others have noted, it's possible to build two versions and to use the iTunes store to restrict distribution based on the nation where the buyer is located.
However there's another issue to consider. You say that the problem is "accessing the content via the app" outside of Australia. But you're on a platform which is inherently mobile, and may not be located in the same country it was when the user got your app. What happens if someone is in Australia, gets the app legitimately, and then travels to some other country? They're no longer in Australia but they have a copy of the app that assumes they are. Would your client's copyright restrictions still permit them to access content that's supposed to be Australia-only?
If not, your problem is rather different than using app-store restrictions. But it might also mean that you get to have a better solution to the problem that doesn't require multiple versions of the app.
Think about it: the iPhone knows where it is. A 3g phone can get GPS-accurate location info, and the older phones get reasonable approximations anytime they have a phone network connection. That gives you lat/long coordinates.
What then? Since your home area is pretty well defined, it might be simple-- draw a rectangle around Australia on a map, and define "in Australia" as being in that rectangle (being a whole continent comes in handy here). If you want something more precise, feed that lat/long into a reverse-geocoding API (there are many-- Flickr has one, for example) to find out what country you're in.
And voila, you can make the app behave one way in Australia and another way outside of it, and you only need one version of the app to do it.
You can restrict which apps are sold in which country/geographical region. Your Australian app you can restrict to Australia and sell another app worldwide.
