How to show an alert that will take user (if clicked Yes) to the settings app to change airplane mode settings.
From what i have researched one cannot activate/Deactivate airplane mode programmatically but is there a way to show an alert for user to activate airplane mode?(like the ones that show if there are UIDeviceCapabilities keys in info.plist)
there is no way to show any alert for AirPlane mode..
There is no apple approved way of launching the settings app at your will. However, if you include the key RequiresPersistentWifi in your info.plist and the network connection is unavailable, iOS will itself display a dialog for you which contains a button to launch Settings.
There is no way you can use selenium network connection API on iOS.

In my app, when it runs for the first time, it shows a UIViewAlert and offers you to see the preferences for the app - and the user has 2 choices - yes or no. If the user hits no the alert fades away and the application continues running. I want to set it in such a way, that if the user hits yes, my app will go to the background, the settings tab of the app will be opened (I added a settings bundle to the app). Is it possible to do such a thing? Thanks!
No, this is not possible. But you can create a settings view in you app and show it instead of trying to open the settings app.
Normally, you do want to encourage users to use your app as long as possible, and making them quit your app yourself is not the best way to achieve that.
No, this isn't possible.
But you could use InAppSettingsKit and modally show a view controller with the settings inside the app.

I'm trying to integrate the [CLLocationManager authorizationStatus] but ever since the pop up showed once on my app, I tried everything to make it show it again. I deleted the app from the phone, changed the name of the app, change the bundle id, name and app name. It keeps remembering it.
Anyone got an idea?
On the phone, open Settings, goto General, scroll to the bottom, tap Reset, tap "Reset Location Warnings". It's the phone that remembers the settings, not the app.
I am developing an iPhone app which uses Settings.bundle to let the user choose some options.
I have two questions regarding this:
How can I completely remove/hide some setting? (for instance if the app is running on iPhone 3G I want to hide settings regarding the compass)
How can I disable (fade) a setting? (for instance, I have two Toggle Switches and if the first is set to OFF the second one has no meaning and should be disabled)
You can't. Your app cannot dynamically influence what is shown in the Settings app.
In my appname-Info.plist
I have 'Application does not run in background' box checked.(it is ticked)
But when i press the button under the screen to close the app, and then double press the button it shows the list of apps and my app is there among the list of currently running apps. Does this mean that my app is running in the background?
If so is there a fix for this? I'd like to make sure my app is completely dead when user quits it.
Thanks
-Code
Your app is not running in the background after you close it.
Even if you see it in the switcher app list.
Application has different states
Active
InActive
Running in Background
Your application become in-active, not running in background.
Aplications are allaowd to run in the background only for:
Playing music.
Navigation needs.
VOIP (as Skype).
And you should explicitly ask the permission and set the appropriate code for doing that and not only check the 'Application does run in background' in the info.plist
The list you get when you double tap the home button is not a running applications list. That's a common misconception. It's actually a list of recently launched applications. Therefore it makes sense for your app to be in it even if it doesn't multitask.
User launches the app, quits, relaunches and the app shows up in the exact previous state, as if the app didn't quit at all. I have no custom save state support, so this is really baffling. It happens on one of the user's 3GS, but not on my 3G. Which seems to indicate that this is OS4's multitasking at work, because 3G isn't supported. If this is true, is there a way to turn off this behavior?
So, if your app isn’t supposed to use multitasking at all or if you simply wish to disable it during development or debugging, all you’ve to do is to edit your project’s info.plist and depending on how you’re editing it:
* Raw text editor
Add a property named “UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend” and set it’s value to ‘Yes’
* The XCode GUI plist editor
Add a new row and select “Application does not run in background” (or type “UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend”) and then toggle the checkbox
