iPhone iOS Dropbox how to pre-authenticate (link) an account for an app? - iphone

I would like to try out an idea of using 1 centralized dropbox account to store data for one of my apps. This would be the kind of a "public" collaborative storage space.
To do so, I need to pre-authenticate the user to use a particular dropbox account. Is there a way for me to link a particular app to a dropbox account, and then include some kind of "pre-authenticated/authorized" tokens within the app to allow the user to interact with my dropbox account without the need to login?
Thank you!

Itune Application sharing blocking

IOS paid application sharing we need to block.
Planning to submit paid application in Apple store. Suppose a user brought application and download to Itunes account, then i sync to my mobile device, able to use that.
1.From itunes can we share application ipa to any other user?
2.is there any way to identify which apple id used for downloading?
3.any option for blocking user without downloading from apple store?
Apps bought/downloaded from the app store are linked to the account that download the app. You can there for not just share the IPA.
On a jailbroke device you might be able to remove the security measures that restrict this. But what you are proposing is not possible with official App Store apps.
You cant code to UDID anymore since the update to the iTunes ToS. They are all account bound. In the cases I have tried to share the .ipa file the app data inside that app specific to me did not migrate to the new user

Interface to the AppStore?

I have a requirement that a client wants to be able to allow users to download apps from within an app (which I will call the main app), based on a user's score (when a user achieves a certain score, they can have an app). We would like to do this without linking to the app store directly, so that users of the main app can be granted access to another app.
So, is there a way to interface to the app store while hiding the official app store from the user? I have seen similar functionality in Passbook, but not exactly what we are looking for. Any ideas? Thanks! Viv

No, the Dropbox API does not currently offer a call for account creation. Users can create accounts via the Web site or official app if necessary.

If my iphone app use Dropbox SDK , must be a user has an account in Dropbox

I develop iphone app use Dropbox SDK to load image from my Dropbox account,
I want to know must be a user has an account in Dropbox for use my app
When the Dropbox SDK takes the user to either the Dropbox app or the browser for login purposes, then it also shows the user a 'sign up' link/button to take care of case in which user does not have an account already.
Regardless, it depends on whether your app is just a Dropbox client and can be useful without user logging into Dropbox.
No, they don't need an account, set it up in a public location on dropbox;

How can we use GEOLOQI for iphone sdk?

The following URL https://developers.geoloqi.com/account/applications/new
asks
Name,Description,image,Redirect URI etc.
P12 Certificate,P12 Password ,APNS Mode.
Can anyone explain why should we give Name,Description,image etc?
What p12 certificate,-12 Password,APNS Mode I have to give?
The name, description and image are used internally so we know what apps are using the API. They will also be used to potentially feature apps on a "gallery" page of apps using our API.
The redirect URI is only needed if you are making an app that will be used by users of our Geoloqi app, where the users will need to use OAuth to authorize your application to their account.
The P12 certificate and password are needed if you are making an iPhone app and wish to use Geoloqi to send push notifications through your app.
