I want to get all tweets of user time line in ios 4 with time, username, user image and user location latitude and longitude and post tweets on particular user wall with user current location latitude and longitude. How can i perform this.
Please provide me detailed information/link/url by which i can get all fields(i.e. username, time etc.).
You are asking two different questions. First, you want to look at the Twitter developers api to retrieve the data in a json format. Then, you want to find out how to parse the json data in iOS and display it.
You can read up on the Twitter API here: Twitter Developers.
Also, any reason for using iOS 4? The majority of users are now on iOS 5 or 6.

I'm building an Ionic application in which I'd like to access not a user's current location, but their location history. In specific, I'd like to access their location history between two given datetimes.
Has anyone built something like this before with Ionic?
Thanks in advance!
You can't get historical user location, you need to save current user location every 5 or x minutes in database (Maybe Firebase) and then retrieve the data.

I'm trying to integrate Stormpath to an iOS app (Swift), and would like to be able to show one user's data to another user.
In other words, can I show 1 user another user's information by searching my userlist for certain factors (such as age or geographic location) like I would be able to with mySQL?
Is this possible? I haven't been able to find documentation for this.
To do this, you would implement an API endpoint in your backend application that exposes whatever information you need (for example, another user's data), and then have your iOS app make a request to your API to retrieve that information and display it on the device.
Stormpath is really flexible and will allow you to do pretty much whatever you want with your user data, so as long as you can write an API call on your backend to retrieve the data, your iOS app can show whatever you want =)

Is it possible to extract data from an existing Facebook game such as Total Domination.
I want to get data such as how many troops I have etc into a spreadsheet automatically.
If it is possible, how can I do it, or where should I find out?
No, game information is not part of Facebook. It is stored on the game own server. The content of an app is private. Only the developer of the game decides how the data is displayed or shared.
The Facebook API only furnishes information about the app properties like name, description, icon, url, developers, etc.
Adding the "foursquare check-in" ability to an existing app has raised some questions. Mainly, "what to show after the user has checked in?". Within the native foursquare client, after a checkin is completed, it will display a screen showing any badges, specials and points you earned with that checkin.
Since checking-in isn't the primary function of our app, we wanted a way to give the user an option to see this information on demand. We can get all of this information from the API's checkin response, but we didn't want to reinvent the wheel.
We tried using the custom URL for displaying the native application as described here (Client API) but that just displays the checkin information, not the results from it:foursquare://checkins/CHECKIN_ID
Is there a client URL that is undocumented that we can call to display this information, or will it need to be displayed in our app?
There is no custom URL / intent for showing post check-in information. For now you'll need to reconstruct your version of the post check-in screen.
I've been wondering, what list does facebook places use? Is it foursquare's one?
And if so, how does it work? Can I connect to foursquare's API and get nearby places with coordinates or something like that?
Thanks a lot!
Here is simple way to find out places near by given LAT and LONG as well as with specific word like-- Hotel,Bar etc:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sll=LATANDLONG&radius=500&q=SEARCHWORD&output=kml
It returns KML file ,and user can parse just like XML parsing.
Here's a link to FourSquare's documentation. Scroll down and look for "Venue methods." You supply the API the users longitude and latitude and Foursquare will return a list of nearby places.

Also, here's a link to some sample code on how to implement the Foursquare API into your iOS app.

I believe facebook and the like foursquare built up their places mostly by user input.
In other words they might have started by buying a commercial dataset in a particular location. That's the seed data. Thereafter, users can add more places as they go. This way their database grew and now they have their own proprietary data about places.
If you go to either apps, you can search for a place, and if not found you get the option to add that place with address, category etc.
I am curious to know if Facebook uses any third party API for its Places feature.
For how it works, you can use Facebook Graph API which provides search.
