I want to show particular note about incoming number on call screen of an iPhone.
E.g. I have Jane as a contact saved in my Contacts on an iPhone. I also have a note associated with that Jane's contact, let's say that note is "Dentist".
Now If I get call from Jane I should be able to see "Dentist" on call screen.
I am currently using PhoneGap framework.
I have been searching for it but had no luck.
This is not possible on non-jailbroken iPhone. But you can achieve it in some other way like how the sticky notes apps are working,
Ask the user to create a note
Generate a image from the user designed note(using code)
Finally ask the user to assign the image to the contact.
No, you have no way influence how contact is displayed in phone call at not jailbroken iPhone. Information is taken from address book only.

I checked the documentation but could not find anywhere regarding assigning ringtone to a group of contacts programmatically. I was wondering is it even possible without using Private API and app store safe ?
My question is the duplicate of this and this but I checked this application, and it does what I was looking for so may be I am overlooking the documentation ?
Any insight on this would be great.
Its not possible to assign contact or group of contact pragmatically for App Store app but you can quietly do for jaibreak app.
Have a look on this.. Is it possible to set the ringtone file(name) for a phone number in a contact using codes?
Old post but still valid In short --
Apple will not allow any Application in app store which modifies user preferences..
Theoretically this is not allowed as per Apple guidelines because you are not allowed to change user preferences through a separate program. That's simply it is. This is specially true for groups since user doesn't have a way to revert the changes done through your program without his permission.
However, the program you have specified here might be using Address Book API methods to retrieve the group they want to change and modifying the ringtone information through a system command by allowing the current user to be root or admin. Just a thought if it can be done.
I am a beginner iOS developer and I am trying to build an app which tracks the users SMS (Number) and Call data (Minutes/day) only but have no clue which framework to use. CoreTelephony is of no use as per my knowledge. Any help would be appreciated!
Call Statistics and SMS Statistics are handled by the cell carrier, but are also recorded by the phone and are visible in the settings application. However, there is no way for your app to access this information (as far as i know). It would be a privacy concern and probably won't ever be available. Im sure there is a way to do it on a jailbroken device, but it sounds like thats not what you want. What exactly does your app do?
I am developing an apps where i am getting some information regarding contacts example
Name:xyz
Phone number:1234556677
So how do i store this information directly into addressBook of an iphone.
NOTE:I dont want the page to navigate to address book and add manually.What i need is i have already have information available like name and phone number. i have a button, click on button directly it should be stored into address book.
i am stuck in this from past couple of days can anyone help me in solving this.
I have gone though many links but all those take me to add contact.What i really need is to store the information which is already available to me into addressbook.
iPhone : Insert Contact to Address book without any User Interface
This is another user having the same problem.. found this within 1 minute (third link if you google for "iOS add contact")
Here is a tutorial which might be helpful to you.

I was wondering if it possible to create an application that will send my 9 year old's iPhone location let's say each 30 minutes, even when the iPhone is not active.
If not, then is it possible to send it each time he uses his phone?
Why not using an existing solution?

See find my friends - it has also parental restrictions. This is excatly what you want.
You're probably looking for startMonitoringForReigion:desiredAccuracy:. This function will allow you to set the iPhone to notify your app anytime a defined boundary is crossed. When you receive this notification, I believe you can send that info to a server or wherever.
That said, if monitoring your child's location is what you want, you'll have great luck with the Find My Friends app from Apple.
This is in regard to Objective-C in an iPhone app...
I have figured out how to get a list of all contacts on my iPhone, but is it possible to send out a mass text? I know I can make a message composer which has an array of recipients, but that will end up sending the text as a group text, not as an individual text to each person.
Also, is there a way to send a text message in iOS without using a message composer?
Most likely no, at least not without jailbreaking. This is the sort of thing that Apple wouldn't allow developers access to just to prevent any possible abuse by the same (especially when it might cost a user a small chunk of change if a mass-text got sent out).
MFMessageComposeViewController is your best bet. You'll be able to specify an array of phone numbers to send SMS to. As for group messaging, I would assume it would default to the users settings. (This is an option in Settings.app) It's simple enough to test but the documentation doesn't mention it.
