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 have several iPhone/iPad apps on the App Store. I would like to add snippets of code in my apps that will identify user behavior. For example what features in the app are used the most or the least. Does anybody have a good idea on how to implement this kind of features in my app.
Integrate http://www.flurry.com into your app and set custom events for all of the parts of the app you want to know about. The report will give you a usage amount per session and you can directly identify what is being used.
Use event tracking in Google Analytics.
For each user event you want to track, you would do something like this:
[tracker trackEventWithCategory:#"uiAction"
withAction:#"buttonPress"
withLabel:buttonName
withValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:100]];
That way you can generate reports in analytics to see what is being used. See their event tracking docs for more details
I use Flurry for all my apps and it works wonderfully. All kinds of helpful (for the right person) data. You can submit Events, like "User won level 608", and attach data in the form of a dictionary to them.
End result: I recommend Flurry.

For iOS6, what are some of the new features that developers can take advantage of?
Specifically, I'm interested in the user location services.
For instance, in iO6 demo it says when a user rejects a phone call, they can select to get notified when they get to work.
Does this mean that GPS services is always on in iOS6? In iOS5, when an app (such as highlight) requests full-time access to location services (even when they exit), GPS remains on, but it drains the battery a lot.
You'll need to part with $99 and become a registered developer if you want to see for yourself or ask us over on the Apple Discussion boards because we're not allowed to talk about it outside of there and with people who are not registered developers.
Read the iOS6 API Differences. This is under NDA(Non Disclosure Agreement) so we're in no position to discuss this publicly.
Head over to the Apple Developer forums and post your questions there.

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'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 am working on an iPhone app for which I built a web service using PHP/MySQL. The app has potential for scaling, though it might also not so popular, but I want to be ready in case it scales. I want to make sure that my server can support if numbers of users exceeds let's say 100.000. The data will be mostly text, maybe some small to medium images.
Does anyone have recommendations for something that's optimum in price, and allows you to increase bandwith/storage as you need to by charging more? Since I don't know if the app will grow I don't want to make a big investment upfront, and would rather pay more as the bandwidth and storage needs increase.
Maybe Amazon server would be a good choice: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/
Amazon and GoDaddy are both really good fit from my experience.
I use Bluehost. They have a great plan and we are running multiple apps APNS (push notifications) from the 1 account.
