I'm looking for some app that will be a separated app, where I can keep my contacts, which are not needed in my typical Contacts list. I believe you know, what I mean... if I have some phone number and would like to write it down, I don't want to place it in my Contacts list and makes there a mess.
Noting in Notes is a bit silly and not native. I want something like "Contacts" as a separate app, which doesn't connect with my typical contacts list.
Do you know anything like that? I couldn't find or cannot search :P
You can create separate address books and groups to organize your contacts. But, everything will be exposed through Contacts app.

I'm looking to use Google CardDAV to push a set of Contacts tied to a specific Google account out to a bunch of iPhone devices using our MDM software. So far everything works - i pointed the software to https://google.com/carddav/v1/principals/mygoogleaccount and the contacts all populate down to the iPhones. But - any change that any user makes to the contact list will be reflected back to the Google account, meaning it will affect all users. Is there a way to make this functionality read only? Maybe create another account that only has read access to the list and push that to the devices instead of using the main credentials? I could probably disable the ability to edit the contacts on the device level, but I don't want to do this, as employees may wish to add their own personal contacts to their individual devices. I just want the master CardDAV list we are pushing out to stay consistent.
Does anyone have experience or any idea how I would accomplish this?
The above pretty much states it all. Looking to deploy a Contact list to a group of iPhones thru an MDM via Google CardDAV, but need the list to remain read-only at the device level. The Internet does not seem to have any information on how to do this.
I have a great app idea but im a not too experienced developer so i have no idea if it this is possible, I was thinking about a app were everyone has a unique username linked to their iCloud account (a easy way to find friends like snapchat) and every user can create a mission were they have to specify the objective, the reward and the usernames that they want to challenge.
How do i start with this? is it possible? Damn i have so many questions
I already have a small client but im not sure if it will be cloud kit compatible
Thank you
Well, If you want to start a social app that is based on CloudKit, then maybe you could try a quick start with: https://github.com/evermeer/EVCloudKitDao
The user list is based on your address book contacts that also have installed the app and the chat functionality is already fully functional. Maybe you could play around with it and then come back to stack overflow with more specific questions.
can I set up a seperated addressbook from the deafult one for iPhone ?
I need this because for the app I am developing I need to add contact information for some special events; also I need to add contact information from work. I don't want to mix these contacts with the default addressbook(and I have other way to sync them). So is there a way to do it ?
Thanks!
there are two approaches by which the process could be done in your case first- there is no way that if you create a contact and when you sync it with the address book it will be saved in the address book data base and the contact will be there nothing the way that you add a contact in your app and the contact only highlight in your app only because the addressbook having only one database and adding and deleting contacts will effect the global database of the addresbook.Second thing you can maintain the your app database by which you can make the UI and the other part of the app like addressbook of iphone and just save those contacts in your database not in the addresbook database.Only these ways you have.
Inside the iphone contacts, when you edit the contact's address a list of country names shows up in a modal view controller. Is there a way to access this plist of country names from my app?
Probably not. The Contacts app and it's bundled data such as this is accessible only to it, just like every app you might have on an iPhone. Each app is limited to accessing its own data. (There are certainly exceptions to this rule, reserved for Apple's use only. For regular developers, your data is your data and no one can touch it.)
You will likely have to find or build your own table of countries to include in your app. Luckily, the list of valid countries doesn't change too often (although with world events these days, who knows!).
I'm new to iOS, and I'm looking for a creative solution to a simple problem.
Now, if I want to send a user to the app store in order to purchase one app, I know how to do so (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/433907/how-to-link-to-apps-on-the-app-store/).
But, inside my app, I'd like to create a straightforward way to link to a collection of apps (not from the same seller). Or, better yet, I'd like to create a way for a user to download multiple apps with the fewest clicks possible.
I've contemplated some solutions, but I'm not sure which are feasible. I'm also not sure if I'm missing something obvious. The two options I've thought of thus far are (drum roll):
Create an app collection, and link to it. I know that Apple can create collections in this way (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGrouping?id=25180&mt=8) but I'm not sure if a poor bloke like myself can do the same.
Create a bunch of links to individual apps. I don't like this solution, as the user has to toggle multiple times between my app and the app store.
Any creative or technical input would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't tried this, but try using a webview, and load the itunes web link for each app in a separate frame.
Theres no built in way to automatically download another app from within your app, except through iads, but thats not what you talking about. The only thing you can do is put multiple links. You would be able to search for all the apps by one account, except you said it’ll be from multiple accounts.
Sorry, but theres presently no built in way to do what your saying.
