Is there any mechanism available in ios to get a notification or event of iphone is switch on (ios system has finished booting) like "ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED" intent available in android?
I want to start my application on phone boot up (iphone is switched on) if some flags for auto start functionality is on in my application.
Is it possible ? Can we receive notification of iphone is switch on i.e. system has finished booting in ios?
Unfortunately iOS doesn't support any such broadcast receivers as in Android. Atleast upto iOS 6.

I have a IOS application with a companion WatchOS application. I am wondering if there is a way I can communicate with the IOS application in real time while it not running as a foreground application.
The best example I can think of is how your are able to use the Spotify watch app to change songs, like songs or even change the volume of the phone while the phone is locked.
How could I implement something like this for an application that could possibly send data frequently from the watch to the phone while the phone is locked.
Watch apps can launch their companion iOS apps by messaging them:. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchconnectivity/wcsession/1615687-sendmessage
That won’t work if the iOS device requires unlock because it’s just booted up.
I just started WatchOS development and needed to send a message to the watch app - if it's available I use sendMessage. If the watch app is backgrounded, I use transferUserInfo. Link to code snippets. I check isReachable and isPaired (on the phone, isPaired does not exist in WatchOS).
Is there an option to test a phonegap app on an iPhone device for SMS messaging without actually owning an iPhone device (e.g. emulator, online service..)?
No, SMS needs a simcard with work. The simulator is not acceptable alternative for a device.
Before releasing any app you should have tested it on a real device.
Also be aware that you can only send a SMS with the official iOS SDK and you should can wether the device is capable of sending SMS messages.
Recent iPads are having provision to insert sim card in that. So with latest iOS SDK, is it possible to call from my application. I know that in-app call is possible from iPhone. But how about iPad? is any api for that? or any app already in market? any tutorials or links .
thanks
The 3G ipad doesn't support native phone calls. The 3G is just for data transfer. However there's nothing stopping you from creating an app similar to the way Skype and other voice over ip apps work, that allow you to make phone calls from the ipad. Line2 is an example of such an app.
It's not possible. The iPad was not created to make phone calls, and there is no native Phone app (like what the iPhone has).
The SIM card slot is to allow internet use via 3G.
I am new to iphone. now i am doing one baby monitoring project. My part is controlling sound like if the baby was crying that automatically call to that baby's mom mobile number.
So here i did all works, but if baby was crying that will call automatically from application to baby's mom mobile number.
But after reach the mobile number the application was end. so how can i rectify this problem. that means if suppose she stop the call it will goes to the application.
Iphone did not allow multitasking before version 4.x of the iOS. This means that when the phone app launches your application is closed. So it will not be possible pre iOS 4.x. For iOS 4.x You can keep your application running but there is still no way to bring your application to the foreground automatically. What you can do (in any version) is present the user with a notification to take you back to your app but the user has to opt in and touch the notification.
I am contracting a company to develop an iPhone APP.
Here is the issue: part of the APP will deal with signatures that are sent via text message from user to user.
I have been told that the native iphone OS is closed and that can't be modified so the only solution to is to build a completely new SMS APP using tools such as phonegap, or appcellerator, etc.
Is there any way to develop the app that works with the exisitng iPhone SMS program or is it true I need to build a whole new application? The problem with building a whole new application is the iPhone will have to use an external SMS gateway and charge fees for that.
Also, are there any recommended iPhone developers ?
Thanks
iPhone OS 4 will support In-App SMS:
In-App SMS Compose SMS messages from
within apps, similar to the Mail
compose sheet added in iPhone SDK 3.0.
If you don't want to use a third-party SMS system, you'll have to wait for iPhone OS 4.
Both PhoneGap and AppAccellerator may be banned from future store submissions- wait until the shakeout from Apple's change in development contract finish up, to see what other possibilites exist if you do not want to use Objective-C to build a custom SMS beforehand...
But I'd wait for 4.0 and implement the features using the system calls there, you can start building today as the beta SDK and iPhone images are out.
