How to extract the gmail and yahoo contacts to my iphone application - iphone

I started with the new project where i have to fetch the gmail and yahoo contacts to my iphone Application, I googled a lot but didn't find any solution apart from GData, any tutorials or solutions would be very helpful.
Thanks in Advance

i have made demo using GDATA for gmail contact, you can download it from here
Also for yahho i have tried my best but i didn't succeed so my advice to you that don't work for yahoo it's very hard to import yahoo contacts in application then also if you want to try and get success then please inform me.
Let me know your review on this demo. one more thing you are able to run this demo only on iphone device, if you want to run it on simulator then you need to do some setting in project setting.
Also don't forgot to add you gmail id and password here
#define gmailID ""
#define gmailpass ""
Wish you best of luck.

Facebook developer Account kit settings not displaying

Im trying to configure account kit. but the settings are not displayed, why is that ?, I have tried to log from 2 devices but still same screen.
That was a temporary issue and should be fixed now :)
Same is happening here. I've already tried to access it with different facebook accounts and with different projects, and nothing happened.
I'm also receiving errors in my recent registered apps, when tying to send the SMS. But it still works with the old ones.

How do I import facebook friends from the another website

I am looking for a way to connect to facebook by allowing the user to enter in their username and password and have our app connect to their account and get their contacts so that they can invite them to join their group on our site. I have written a facebook app before, but this is not an app as much as it is a connector so that they can invite all their friends or just some to the site we are working on.
I have seen several other sites do this and also connect to Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail contacts. I dont think they are using Facebook Connect to do this since it is so new, but they may be.
Any solution in any language is fine as I can port whatever example to use C#. I cannot find anything specifically on Google or Facebook to address this specific problem. Any help is appreciated.
I saw a first answer get removed that had suggested i might need to scrape the friends page. The more I look around, this might be what i need to do. Any other way i think will require the person to add it as an app. I am wondering how a answer can get removed, maybe that user deleted it.
Try This
Not sure if its possible explicitly but there are indirect ways to do it!!!
Here is another article that seems to cover what you want to do http://facebook-developer.net/2008/02/20/allow-your-users-to-invite-their-friends/

What you want is the documentation for the MFMailComposeViewController
A very cool, and easy way to gain this and other share features is to add ShareKit. It take 5 minutes to setup and lets you add Twitter, Facebook and others.

How can I add a link to an iPhone native app from website IF POSSIBLE

I have a link to a Facebook page from a website. I know I can use the URL scheme href="fb://" to open up the Facebook application from within an iPhone, but if the iPhone user does not have the native application installed, an ugly error message pops up. I would rather just send this user to the Facebook website.
There's gotta be a way to do this, but everything I've tried has had some short-coming:
Can't make a HEAD request to a different server
Can't run a try catch javascript function since the event leaves the client page
Can't seem to access information about the user's applications... or can I? I've read a bit about a cookie called "appInstalled" but can't find any real documentation about it.
Any ideas out there? Thanks a ton in advance.

Can a website determine if a device [iPhone] has certain applications installed ? I'm pretty sure that's a big NO because of privacy and security concerns.
Not a really technical answer, but you could change the user interface to give the user an option. For example, having:
Click here if you have the facebook application installed on your iPhone.
If you do not, click here to go through to the site.
Sorry that I cannot offer a "proper" solution, I'm not really that familiar with iPhone development.

iphone app userid

I have an app where we want users to be able to send us email/info. This would be a standard template which will open up on a button click within the app.
I am struggling at the moment to find a legit way to do it. The problem is there are 2 things I need.
1) A way to let users send email to me
2) A way of knowing the person sending me mail is actually someone who has downloaded my app.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? Does apple give us information/user id's or email id's of poeple who have downloaded the app?
Many thanks in advance for any help with this..

Here's a good example on how to send email.
As for identifying if they send it from your app, you might have to create some login feature on your own. I haven't heard of Apple providing IDs of users who have bought your app.
