Making An Emoji Enabeling App
I'm wanting to be educated on how to create an emoji type app with the code. But i can't seem to find a tutorial for it. So I thought I would ask on here if anyone will help me. I've got Xcode and a $99 license too for testing it out on my device.
Thanks

Emoji chars are simply Unicode chars, just with more limited support as you progress backwards through iOS history. To enter emoji using the keyboard, iOS 5 and 6 provide the system standard Emoji keyboard (settings>general>international>keyboards>emoji). In code, any standard text rendering object will show most escaped chars you pass to them:
UITextView *example = [[UITextView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,460)];
[example setText:#"\U0001F604"];
[self.view addSubview: example];
Simple as that.
Note that prior to iOS 5, text rendered and sent as Emojis utilizes the iOS private Unicode space, which means anybody not on an iOS device will get a whole lot of ? And [] instead of characters. See here for the hack that enables the emoji keyboard in most of those emoji apps on the store.

Changing a color depending on iPhone colour [duplicate]

Detecting Color of iPhone/iPad/iPod touch?
(6 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I've been working a lot on my new project's colour scheme and concluded that one scheme is the best for use on the white iPhone while a different set should be used on the black one.
How can I specify different picture files to be used on the device depending on its colour?
Unless you can get access to the SN of the phone along with the apple database dicating the color of each phone this won't be possible.
I would recommend instead giving the user an option so that they can pick to change the color scheme of your app.

How to Enable New Emojis keyboard in iOS 5.1?

iOS 5.0 and above come with a standard Emoji keyboard. But there are some apps on app store that enable a new and different set of Emojis in iOS 5.1.

I have searched a lot, might be some key can be added in the PList, like it could be added in pre iOS 5.0, but I could not find one.

Can I get the iPhone number pad in an iPad app? [duplicate]

UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad on iPad
I want to give users the option of only inputting numbers. The number pad for iPad pops up with other symbols etc. Is it possible to get the iPhone version of the number pad in an iPad app?
Unfortunately, this is not possible. You can only use the UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad to get the numbers on an iPad, and the letters and symbols are not locked out. If you really need this, I would recommend looking up tutorials about making custom keyboards and using NSMutableStrings. This way, you can create your own keyboard and experience, and still have the same number pad as the iPhone.

Install Smiley font for iOS

I Need to use my own smiley icons (like emoji) in my textfield and all around the project. Is there any way to install the fonts in iOS. Please suggest me for the right way...
I got that there is no solution for the installation. I created manual keyboard using scrollview and buttons.
Should be easy, as long as you know which glyphe is which smiley:
Have a look at Custom Fonts in iOS 4 at beefyapps.com.
EDIT
The Emoji Icons are a stored in the private use area of unicode. They won't look any good on a different device than an iPhone/iPad, this is Apple specific.
The app is just to enable the keyboard. You can do it yourself: Making An Emoji Enabeling App.
Have a look at The truth about iPhone Emoji, which sheds some light on the whole topic.
