I am curious to know how does Clock and Calendar icon on iOS shows the real time and date respectively? Can I make such Icons for my app?
Thanks
Calendar shows the date, but Clock only shows the time starting in iOS7.
You can't do those things in your own app, that's an Apple thing. Maybe in the future Apple will provide an API for this, but not right now.

Is it possible to have dynamic App icon in Android? For example let's say I have clock App. Can I update the App icon showing current time or is the only way to implement a widgets?
You may use <activity-alias> to display different app icons in the launcher, just like the example I created here
But I don't think it is a good decision to update the app icon per minute, the solution may only applicable to calendar app.
While developing an app I managed to get around the virtual keyboard covering up the control being edited just nicely by using the appropriate events. However specifically on an iPhone opening up a calendar will cause the same problem as the virtual keyboard, with the difference that no proper event is fired. At that time there is no possibility to get the bounds of the date picker, so the date edit will potentially get covered up by the date picker and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. Again this is an iPhone issue, as the tablets open up a small panel near the date edit, and everyone is happy.
To clarify here is a comparison of the same app on an iPhone 6 and on an iPad.
How do I find the bounds of the calendar, in order to move other controls away from it?
I am badly stuck in this. I want to have a control in iOS 4 (either slider or page control) to look exactly like the one in Reminders App of iOS 5 (at the bottom of the Date Tab). If anybody knows how to customize this in iOS 4 to look like reminders app, then please help me.
the app I'm working on supports iOS multi-task feature by default, and I want to stick with this.
Upon app launch, a splash movie clip is played (code is in AppDelegate), after user hits the home button, and re-launches the app, I want to the same splash movie be played before showing the last view where use was.
I know by switching off the multi-task support, I can achieve this, but in the meanwhile, I'm losing the multi-task support feature, and I need to write code to save/resume user states. So, is there any workaround for this? thanks!
You could try the app delegate's applicationDidBecomeActive: method but quite frankly I'd consider this to be user hostile behaviour. Who wants to see a movie every time they switch between apps? The point of multitasking on the iPhone is to quickly change between apps and this violates that.
My users was to select their times using the 24 HR clock instead of the AM/PM 12 hour clock in my iPhone app. Presently, as far as I can tell, the only way to put the UIDatePicker into 24 HR time mode is from the device's settings. My users only want 24 HR mode for this app, not their entire device.
Does anyone know a way to put the UIDatePicker into 24 HR clock mode for my app only?
Thank you.
P.S. Would it be possible when my app starts it would put the device into 24 HR mode and then when the app goes to the background or closes it sets the device settings back to the way it was? I wonder if the app can control the device settings while it's used?
It can't be done, hopefully this will be available in the future. I created my own date/time input to make this possible via a UITextField.
