Is there a way to enable the new "Global HTTP Proxy" on a non-supervised iPhone running iOS 6?
Thanks!
I recall it correcly, it's only possoble via WiFi: Go to the Settings app, tap Wi-Fi, find the network you are connected to and then tap the blue disclosure arrow to configure the network. Scroll down to the HTTP Proxy setting, tap Manual.

Is it possible to enable Bluetooth (with Discoverability on), using a button on macOS? Or enable it when an application opens? I've looked around online for a solution but everything directs towards iPhone and iOS Development rather than anything on the Mac side. Everything that is geared towards iOS also states that it is not possible on the mobile devices, but it is possible to display an alert notifying the user to turn on their Bluetooth to use their accessories. Is any alert type possible?
Edit: The closest I could get to this was opening the Bluetooth pane of the System Preferences programmatically.
It's a private API.
Add the following to your bridging header:
void IOBluetoothPreferenceSetControllerPowerState(int);
And call it with 1 to enable or 0 to disable:
func setBluetooth(on: Bool) {
IOBluetoothPreferenceSetControllerPowerState(on ? 1 : 0)
}
setBluetooth(on: true)
Don't forget to import IOBluetooth in your Swift file.
To get the current status use int IOBluetoothPreferenceGetControllerPowerState();
In my app, when it runs for the first time, it shows a UIViewAlert and offers you to see the preferences for the app - and the user has 2 choices - yes or no. If the user hits no the alert fades away and the application continues running. I want to set it in such a way, that if the user hits yes, my app will go to the background, the settings tab of the app will be opened (I added a settings bundle to the app). Is it possible to do such a thing? Thanks!
No, this is not possible. But you can create a settings view in you app and show it instead of trying to open the settings app.
Normally, you do want to encourage users to use your app as long as possible, and making them quit your app yourself is not the best way to achieve that.
No, this isn't possible.
But you could use InAppSettingsKit and modally show a view controller with the settings inside the app.

How to show an alert that will take user (if clicked Yes) to the settings app to change airplane mode settings.
From what i have researched one cannot activate/Deactivate airplane mode programmatically but is there a way to show an alert for user to activate airplane mode?(like the ones that show if there are UIDeviceCapabilities keys in info.plist)
there is no way to show any alert for AirPlane mode..
There is no apple approved way of launching the settings app at your will. However, if you include the key RequiresPersistentWifi in your info.plist and the network connection is unavailable, iOS will itself display a dialog for you which contains a button to launch Settings.
There is no way you can use selenium network connection API on iOS.

I am developing an iPhone app which uses Settings.bundle to let the user choose some options.
I have two questions regarding this:
How can I completely remove/hide some setting? (for instance if the app is running on iPhone 3G I want to hide settings regarding the compass)
How can I disable (fade) a setting? (for instance, I have two Toggle Switches and if the first is set to OFF the second one has no meaning and should be disabled)
You can't. Your app cannot dynamically influence what is shown in the Settings app.
Is it possible to Launch Safari without having the app close? Just like the in-app email compose window.
I'm aware of how to display a webpage in UIWebView. I'd like to use a full web browser, i.e. Safari.
You can use a UIWebView to display web content in your app.
You can create a UIWebView with the URL to display. It will follow any links that the user touches, but that won't give you the address bar, search, navigation buttons, bookmarks or the page (tab) control. Those you'll have to add yourself, but odds are you don't want all of that. (Do you really need Google searches in your app?)
Creating a controller to manage a UIWebView and as much or as little navigation as you need is pretty easy. With a little planning, your custom controller class will also a good thing to keep in your library for the next app.
No you can not make use of the full Safari from within your own application. Your application must terminate for Safari to open.
In iPhone OS 2.0 you also had to terminate in order to send e-mails, so some chance exists that Apple couls open up Safari in the same way for iPhone OS 4.0. Make sure to request it at http://bugreport.apple.com if you are eager.
The second best option currently available is to roll your own "Browser view controller" using UIWebView. Let it have back, forward, stop/reload buttons, and an extra button for opening in Safari if the user is not content. This is how many of the greatest apps our there, like Tweetie, does it.
