Hi i have been approached to create an app which allows users to upload images either daily or weekly etc. with a description and title and add these images to a calendar. The images could then be viewed in sequence or via the calendar.
I am quite new to app development and so far have only done basic apps.
How difficult is it to create an app of this scale?
Can anyone recommend any tutorials that might help?
Also what kind of time frame would i be looking at?
any feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks
The answer is You Can't . iOS Calendar events cannot attach images. You have to write your calendar apps.

I've designed the User Interface of an iPhone app and I wish to show an online demo of that consisting for the moment of a series of static images representing the main steps of the app.
According to you what is the best way to do this simulation?
You know, something like a series of single webpage, optimized for mobile, containing a single image linking to the next step, but I was wondering if exists a much elegant and sophisticated solution, with a transition effect for example or other features.
I hope I was clear enough :)
Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your attention.
This sounds like a good use for Briefs Briefs App Website. This pretty much allows you to create an interface and step through it as if it were an application. I believe you'll need to have a developer account to run the app that will read the brief on your phone (since it wasn't able to be released in the app store).
An alternative to static images would be to make a video. I use the iShowU video screen capture tool and set it to record the iPhone/iPad simulator window. I then run through the screens, type inputs, etc. In addition to recording the video, the program records my voice as I narrate the app's features.
As to transition effects, the video will capture whatever transition animations are in your program.
In the end you have a video that you could give your user, put on YouTube, or whatever.
You can do this easily and for free on AppDemoStore. You just have to upload the app screenshots and then add hotspots which are used for the navigation through the demo.
AppDemoStore offers also the sophisticated features you are asking for:
iPhone specific transition effects such as slide up/down/left/right, fade and flip
gestures icons for the hotspots
text boxes and callouts
multiple hotspots on a screen in order to create a simulation of the app (and not just a linear demo)
Here's a sample demo: http://www.appdemostore.com/demo?id=1699008
Moreover, the demos created on AppDemoStore run in any browser and mobile device and can be embedded in your webpage or blog (like you do it with a YouTube video). With the FREE account, you can create up to 10 demos with unlimited screenshots and all the features specified above.

I'm working on an iPhone App that's HTML5/JS displayed in a single UI Webview. I'd like to add photo upload capabilities, and I'm wondering what the best approach would be to extend the iPhone app with the necessary classes to pick a photo and upload via an API. I'd also like to trigger the display of the photo picker via JS if that's possible.
I know it's possible to use a framework like PhoneGap to do this, but I don't want to migrate the whole app to a new framework yet. Also, sorry for the "how to" type question - I normally ask about specific problems after I've exhausted my efforts, but I'm pretty new to Objective C, so I'd appreciate some guidance, even if it's just a simple design explanation.
the image picker (UIImagePicker) is fairly straightforward to work with: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIImagePickerController_Class/UIImagePickerController/UIImagePickerController.html
and for an API, are you sending it to an existing system? or creating your own. You just need to craft an NSMutableURLRequest with POSTED data in a multi-part format, and then handle the image portion appropriately in your server.

Just a quick question on the iphone technology within this business card reader
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8z6pcxdrPo
as we can see this video allows users to take a photo of a business card, i have an idea where i would take a photo of some text , and that photo could then be turned into text on the iphone. how would i be able to implement this using the iOS API ?
cheers guys
The camera stuff is all standard-- use the UIImagePickerController for this.
Text recognition (OCR) is not a built in part of the iOS API, though, so that part really isn't trivial. There are multiple open-source projects that can handle this sort of thing if you want to go after them.
Tesseract is an older but possibly viable one. Check out this post which has info on cross compiling it for iOS.
Other users here might have more current recommendations.
I want to retrieve uploaded videos from a certain youtube channel and I want to display the list in a UITableView. Then when user clicks on a row the video will play. Is this possible to do with youtube API?
Im new to iPhone app development and I need to get this done asap. Can some one provide some code samples or point me in the right direction. I cant find much useful stuff on the net
Please Help
Maybe a good start is
Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library
or

I need to develop a very simple iPad application that takes RSS feed of images that will be updated constantly and will display them and you can slide through them. As simple as that.
Is there a way to get basic help on doing this, I am very new to iPhone/iPad development and would like help.
To make the question clearer, I would appreciate code samples (other than the ones displayed on Apple's developers site, tutorials, and guidelines.
Thank you :)
First things first, you need to go through some Cocoa Touch tutorials and learn how all the pieces fit together. ;-)
