Is it possible to track any iOS devices using PhoneNumber or UDID or IMEI number to show the device in google map. please help me.
Install "Find my iPhone" and use iCloud. My wife uses this to see where I am when I'm out on my bike. And I use it to ping the iPhone when I lose it around the house.
I am sure you can't get the iPhone's IMEI without using a private framework and if you do so you will be automatically rejected.
Usually, when mobile developpers wants some unique ids, the solution is to ask the user's email address. If you really want to differentiate users devices, you can create some random UDID that you save in the app preferences.

I'm currently using a pin view in one of my app and am running into an issue where the user has to first unlock phone, then navigate to the app and then unlock the app with a pin code. I know it works, but I would like the security (let the user in/lock out of the app) to be resolved faster.
I know that android uses a swipe gesture across dots, which seems to work faster than iPhone's pin screen.
My question is: what (faster) alternatives to the in-app pin screen are there to secure an iPhone app?
If you like the android style lock, you could look at this code and modify it for your needs: https://github.com/GrioSF/Android-Pattern-Lock-on-iOS

I am new to IOS Programming..
For IOS Device. I am trying to build an app in which, by sending SMS command Wifi can turn ON/OFF remotely..
please suggest me.
THANKS in Advance..
No, on a non-jailbroken phone, you cannot get any data on SMS messages or phone calls. They are entirely walled off from your application.
If your device is jailbroken, then you could monitor the sqllite database located on your phone at:
/var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db

I want to create an app to the iPad Mini that connects to iPhone using Bluetooth 4.0, and access its messages, to show on screen when I receive a E-mail, SMS or iMessage.
I think that I could use the Message Access Profile (MAP) but I didn't find a way to do that.
Can someone tell me from where I begin?
My first try was get the SMS notification using CoreTelephony, but since the iOS 5 (as I know) the message didn't came with the notification, and as my iPhone isn't jailbroken, I couldn't access the SMS.db to read it, neither using the private framework ChatKit.
I won't publish this app on appstore, it is for personal using and testing.

For iOS6, what are some of the new features that developers can take advantage of?
Specifically, I'm interested in the user location services.
For instance, in iO6 demo it says when a user rejects a phone call, they can select to get notified when they get to work.
Does this mean that GPS services is always on in iOS6? In iOS5, when an app (such as highlight) requests full-time access to location services (even when they exit), GPS remains on, but it drains the battery a lot.
You'll need to part with $99 and become a registered developer if you want to see for yourself or ask us over on the Apple Discussion boards because we're not allowed to talk about it outside of there and with people who are not registered developers.
Read the iOS6 API Differences. This is under NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement) so we're in no position to discuss this publicly.
Head over to the Apple Developer forums and post your questions there.

I'm a beginner of iOS app development,
I'm working on a very small project to show useful info of another app
i simply want it to check the out/ingoing packets through my device and find a specific packet where its string contains a specific word, if found then show the whole packet content,
is it possible to be done and does apple allow tracking packets ? thanks in advance
Regardless of it being possible or not (I'm guessing the answer is no, since you probably need root access and more low level APIs that aren't available by default), you want to track other applications. More specifically the network activity of these applications. This imposes several 'difficulties';
Given their policies, Apple will not allow this.
Your application will need to be active on the foreground, while background activity of applications is limited. The number of packets you will be able to 'sniff' will be very minimal and if you chose to put your application in the background instead your time will be limited to about 10 minutes of execution time.
My advice? Don't. Unless you are interested in the jailbreak 'market'.
