Ok so I am curious if you can add a function to you iphones messages app? If you open the messages app in the top right corner you can hit edit, which then allows you to delete and forward the selected messages. Is there a way to add another function to that? Or even a way you can access these messages through another app (like a program that then has messages running through it).
I am basically trying to have an app where a user can sent someone else messages by selecting which ones they want the other user to see. It would basically be like taking a screen shot of the phone but taking a screen shot then sending it is too complicated and can include a message you don't want the other user to see.
I am 100% sure there is no way to change the behavior of the built-in Messages app on an iOS devices without jailbreaking.
I am 99% sure that Apple does not provide any hooks for getting information from a users Messages app.

This is a question little bit similar to this post.
While using iPhone, browsing Meteor web application, loading(networking) icon on the status bar is animating all the time because of XHR request to the server by sockjs.
Users usually think it is still loading something, keep waiting another one appears, or may consider it is very networking-heavy site, wasting power of battery.
Hide whole of status bar may be one of the solutions. Anybody know how to solve this problem?

Well, this shouldn't be considered as a problem actually.
The loading icon you are seeing is because of the hanging request made by client to the server for a new data. The server will then send the new data if there is a new new data, and if it doesn't have, it doesn't responds. This does not take up much bandwidth, so there may not much use of battery power.
This request are used to implement reactivity and live page updates of meteor app.
And if you want to manipulate the status bar, there are many threads here like this one.

I'm trying to think of a way (if exists) that each user who uses the device will enter his ID so only authenticated users could use the device.
Why?
I have a few iOS devices in my department and I want to be able to monitor who was last to use the device, so if it was lost within the people in my department it will be easier to track it.
any ideas?
is there a way to write a proper app to do that?
thanks in advance!
No way to do that without jailbreaking and doing some really custom app development. The OS does not give you an option for intercepting user credentials.
You could write an application to simply authenticate a person against a web-service and store authentication information there. Then just make it a policy to always fire up that application and log in before using the device for anything else.
I have a couple of enterprise applications that do something similar. Each user logs in at the beginning of their shift and then logs out at the end.

I need to know if it is possible to develop an application to read and reply to SMS and email. If so, how could this be done (what library/class needs to be used). I've searched all apps there isn't an app that does this. There's only an app that requires you to set your email and constantly checks for new message however SMS I'm not sure if there's an app that does this thereby I'm not sure if it could be done. Thanks,

Without a jailbroken iPhone, no. You can't interact with the other native applications beyond what the APIs provide (i.e. accessing the photos and media library). Like the other e-mail application, you could fake the e-mail situation by requiring them to provide you their servers and credentials. However, you really can't access the SMS history nor respond to them.

I would like to track (run some code - or invoke function) when the user get an incoming call.
for example: for every call the user receive I want to save the number, and check something during or before the call is answered (with a background process..)
Until now without the background processing I couldn't find a way to do this. But I'm still not sure it is possible.
Anyone with information about the new sdk 4 can help me?
You can register for notifications using CTTelephony and your app will NOT terminate while the call is in progress. Control is returned to the app at the conclusion of the call and then you can get the phone number.
All of this is useless for apps to be published in the App Store until Apple approves use of the CTTelephony API.
There is nothing in the published material that would suggest that there's any change. The seven types of multitasking listed were:
Background Audio
Voice Over IP
Location Services
Push Notifications
Local Notifications
Task Completion
Fast App Switching
Intercepting normal cell calls doesn't really fit into any of those categories.

I want to create a chat sort of application on the iphone. I know how I would go about implementing a poll model, where the iphone would poll the server to see if any messages have arrived and if they have it can retrieve them and show them to the user. However im more intersted in a push model, where the server pushes new messages to the iphone and it displays it to the user. The part im having a hard time figuring out is how to go about opening some permanent connection on the phone that will listen for incoming messages...Any suggestions or comments would be appriciated..
Thanks
Daniel
The iPhone 3 SDK has push support built in. Basically, all messages that need to be pushed (from all apps) go to Apple's server, which maintains a persistent connection to the user's iphone. The upside is that you dont have to worry about it and your app can get updates even when its not running (so like, from the home screen). The downside is that your data has to go through Apple's server.
