I actually create an app where the access to content should be restricted by the WiFi-network the user is connected to.
So is it possible to automatically login to a secured WiFi via App? I don't want to force the user to do it manually. It should be as simple as possible for the user.
Maybe there is a way to install a network profile for the device or something like that?
Any ideas about this?

You may be able to do this with the functions from the CaptiveNetwork framework...
Also you can create a network profile in Apple Configurator and then export them to a website. Then all your users need to do is click a link to that file that you can email them or put on your site or wherever...

I have a requirement that a client wants to be able to allow users to download apps from within an app (which I will call the main app), based on a user's score (when a user achieves a certain score, they can have an app). We would like to do this without linking to the app store directly, so that users of the main app can be granted access to another app.
So, is there a way to interface to the app store while hiding the official app store from the user? I have seen similar functionality in Passbook, but not exactly what we are looking for. Any ideas? Thanks! Viv

How to link to apps on the app store
If your app is in Apple appstore, you can use itms:// service to install apps directly. Check the above link that tells awesome stuff about the apple app store itms services.
Is there a way using which i can access attachments downloaded though the iOS Mail app? I need to access photos or other documents in my app.
No You cannot access the Mail App Data in any way. It is against the Privacy concerns of the iOS device user. However, the images in the user's iPhone Gallery can be accessed and used in the app according to your needs.
If you register your app to handle various file types, then you could select open with yourapp from within the mail application. So you could send a file from the mail application to your app. For more information see https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/DocumentInteraction_TopicsForIOS/Articles/RegisteringtheFileTypesYourAppSupports.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010411-SW1
No, You are not authorized to take any device data without user interaction that too limited access. You can create your customized mailing data with you have sent mails.
I am new to iphone development .I am in to project where application iTunes should be able to share on Facebook,twitter.I want to know how to obtain the iTunes link of the application.
Thanks in advance
No you can't. You should give the link manually to the app or you should program the app to get the link from your own web server using web service. Here also you should update the link in you web server
The iTunes link needs your app id from iTunes connect. There is no way for your application to actually know that number. However the app does not need to be released already to get the link, only to be created in iTunes Connect. That way you can still implement sharing functionality within your app using the link, and only then upload your binary.
As everyone suggested, you need to create your app within iTunes Connect to get the App ID.
Once you have this, you can hardcode it into your app. An alternate way is to query your own server and have this information ready at the time the app is launched.
I would really suggest going for the hardcode method since the App ID doesn't ever change once it is assigned to your app.
Here's an example of how I usually embed the URL for my apps with its App ID: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=APP_ID&mt=8&partnerId=30
We provide advertising capabilities to iPhone app customers, where they can advertise apps to millions of users on social network, and stand out among large number of apps in app store.
Now, to prove the ROI, we also want to provide statistics of how many users actually installed the app using our advertisements on social network.
My question is:
How do I verify whether user installed an app (when user clicks on advertisement and we take user to App Store (on mobile device) or itunes page (on PC/Mac) )
Is there a way to integrate with developer's interface to get this information?
Thanks in advance.
This is a broad question and there are some simple solutions which may require some work. Apple provides you no feedback for when an app is installed. Assuming you are storing the click of the ad on a server you will need to match to that click with something you send up when the app is opened for the first time.
(if the ad is shown in a native app on the phone) You can send up a unique key when the click happens and also send that same unique key when the app opens for the first time and match them on the server. This key can be a hashed mac address or something you save to the UIPasteboard. This requires integration on the side of your clients app because they will need to send a http request to you when the app launches.
If the social network is web based then your best bet is to match on IP address which isn't perfect but can give you a high percentage of accuracy.
I guess I'm assuming you are hosting the ads though. If you are not then you will have to rely on what the ad networks give you and many of them can provide some form of install tracking.
Well, you can always look at that persons phone and check if your app is present there :P
Just kidding.
You have some ways to get information such as these.
If you have registration in your app, you can monitor the userInfo, along with the UDID.
You can setup some webservice calls on applicationDidFinishLaunching for the first time events (using NSUserDefaults key to save the first time info) and use that.
Check out FLURRY for data analytics in your app. This is an awesome service, and allows you to track your users and how they interact with your app. I would recommend this !
Most ad networks have conversion tracking capabilities, but once you click an ad from the web and go to iTunes, all hope is lost tracking a conversion.
I guess you'd be able to track a conversion if you require the user to provide information (like an email address) before directing them to the appstore then requiring them to input that same email once the app is opened.
I am creating an iphone application that requires the users to have an account at my website.
But if i have to distribute it through apple store, how should I make the users of this Iphone Application first create an account with my website. There could be a few options like :
1) Ask the user to create an account when he/she tries to run the application on iphone.
2) Provide a 'Sign-Up' page in the Iphone application itself.
My question is "Is there any mechanism provided by Apple Store to make the user sign-up to my website before he/she can download the application".
Kindly give in your suggestions for the same. Which would be the best approach for solving my problem.
Thanks,
LG
There's no way to do this through the app store.
Yes: your two options are to create a sign in / sign up screen with cocoa, or to display your login webpage with a NSWebview.
I'd recommend the native control route...
No, you can't do that through Apples App Store.
You could provide the user with aviability to register to your site when opening your app, throug, say a NSWebView.
There are many ways to solve this, just not the one you might like.
