I hope to encrypt the ipa file of a freeware for jailbreak users so that others cannot view the project details.
Is there any tool to do this?
Welcome any comment
From my knowledge, you CANNOT do anything like that ! And apple probably won't allow your app to go on the AppStore in the first place.
The way the ipa file is generated (as of now), jailbreaking does not allow the hacker to view the classes or the underlying code/algorithm used ( I think he can view the images used via iExplorer or may a simple ssh would suffice). Encrypting that further is not really a great solution considering you want the app to be uploaded on the AppStore.
All developers strictly abide by Apple's rules, and its their domain. The only thing developers will have to worried about is Paid apps being available for free on the web.. With respect to that, may be we can expect a solution from Apple to prevent Piracy later this year (Hopefully)

I am unable to save a file to a different folder(outside app) since i have to retrieve the data from it after the application uninstalled.I have to get the data from that file after installing application.The file is getting deleted with the application.please help me solve this issue..
Not possible. iOS apps are sandboxed. You cannot write anything outside your app sandbox.
For security reasons, iOS places each app (including its preferences and data) in a sandbox at install time. A sandbox is a set of fine-grained controls that limit the app’s access to files, preferences, network resources, hardware, and so on. As part of the sandboxing process, the system installs each app in its own sandbox directory, which acts as the home for the app and its data.

I'm a beginner of iOS app development,
I'm working on a very small project to show useful info of another app
i simply want it to check the out/ingoing packets through my device and find a specific packet where its string contains a specific word, if found then show the whole packet content,
is it possible to be done and does apple allow tracking packets ? thanks in advance
Regardless of it being possible or not (I'm guessing the answer is no, since you probably need root access and more low level APIs that aren't available by default), you want to track other applications. More specifically the network activity of these applications. This imposes several 'difficulties';
Given their policies, Apple will not allow this.
Your application will need to be active on the foreground, while background activity of applications is limited. The number of packets you will be able to 'sniff' will be very minimal and if you chose to put your application in the background instead your time will be limited to about 10 minutes of execution time.
My advice? Don't. Unless you are interested in the jailbreak 'market'.

I'm planning to do my first facebook-app.
The core of the app would be to choose certain photos from your profile and show them to others users (of the same app). My background is more on the C++ side and low-level programming.
I want to know your suggestions for the following:
1- Which hosting do you suggest? I have read about google-app-engine and Heroku, however I am not sure which one fits best for a free plan until it grows to a significant number of users.
Heroku seems great for a beginner since they give you a sample code, but I am not sure about their databases and their scalability while being free. From here I understand that I have only 5 mb of databases for free which seems too little... right?.
And one more thing: I'm assuming is possible to show photos from others users directly from facebook without hosting it
2- Which framework and language do you suggest given the core of my app? It is not a sophisticated app, so I want to do it as fast as I can without many technical troubles.
Thanks in advance
I think Heroku is good choice for you. http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/facebook

I'm interested in learning about what additional features and APIs an app has access to when an iPhone is jailbroken. Can someone provide me with some basic resources to learn about this? I would be most interested in:
documentation on the private APIs
filesystem layout
app configuration, e.g. how did WinterBoard replace SpringBoard? Apps that replace the lockscreen?
tools needed
Suggestions appreciated.
Very good question. I've personally spend quite a bit of time on trying to find documentation on the private APIs, and even though I'm pretty sure I've come across it some time ago, right now I can't really find it anymore. However, I do have some answers to your questions. Let me share what I have so far:
Filesystem layout
An old, but still mostly true guide on filesystem layout.
"Replacing" apps
I think most of the "hijacking" of original iPhone apps is based on catching and re-implementing objective-c messages through posing and comparable techniques. A good guide on this is available here. I'm note entirely sure that this is the mechanism at work though.
Tools
A toolchain for iphone dev is available on google code. See this guide for info on how to install it.
See this guide for info on how to use the default apple Xcode environment for development on a jailbroken phone.
This is the best thing I'v found on the subject so far :
Jailbroken Development : Starter Pack

Anyone have any suggestions for good iPhone development related podcasts?
Only one I've run across is http://www.mobileorchard.com/ and was looking for some others.
Just came across a reference to a new podcast, Build and Analyse.
Late Night Cocoa and other shows on the Mac Developer Network feature iPhone topics every now and then.
CocoaCast also has iPhone episodes, which tend to be a bit more practical.
The Pragmatic Programmer has some video casts, but they are $5 each. There is a two-part series on using Xcode, and five-part series on writing your first iPhone application.
NSBrief is new and is a bit more technical, though not overly so.

I realize this thread might be a little old and has a marked answer. However it was one of the top results when I googled "iphone podcast" which is the reason for my reply.
Stanford has a class on Iphone Development and you can view it by subscribing to it on Itunes. I've been watching these classes and they are good to get started on Iphone Dev
More info about this can be found on podcastingnews.com or at the Stanford on the itunes website
