I am going to have database into my application. and i would like to know is it possible to share the same Db for Other apps we build.
Please let me know
NO WAY because every App running in its own sandbox.
Please check the documentation here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/TheiOSEnvironment/TheiOSEnvironment.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH9-SW1
There is a way to share your Databases with multiple application,
You have a centralize dataBase and then you create webServices to access them.
Webservices will be linked with that dataBase and different Application can use the same webService to access the dataBase.
but if your App itself have a db then Shiny is correct.
You cannot share that DB with other Apps.

As the title goes, I need to connect a Xamarin built application to a SQLITE database stored inside a Amazon EC2 that is hosting a web app.
Now I agree not the most robust of set ups but i'm aware it can be done using RESTful API to build a web service and ideally host on Tomcat. But i can't find out how. Totally new to APIs.
That's all I need really. I've been down most avenues of Google and Xamarin support docs. But I really need someone to point me in the right direction as im seeing alot of broken links for Xamarin docs that revert me to Microsofts site. Or help find an example, anything would be heavily appreciated. I can only offer that if you answer my question you will make someones day and I will post a cute picture of a hamster.
Thanks!
I am new to programing iPhone applications.
I am pretty much done building the interfaces and I built a database using Visual Studio 2008.
Now I want to connect my application to that database using a SQL server as a web service (that acts as an intermediary layer between my application and database). I will reserve a server for the database later.
My question is: I have a log in a view where I ask for the username and password, how can I use the information from Xcode and send it to the database to verify it?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
From your description I am not sure if I understand, but if you need to have an app and some webservice with data you can check for example this tutorial from Ray Wenderlich:

Also, you might find useful this SO question:
iPhone app and web service
I am writing an app that allows users to create and save (locally) various visual models. A new requirement has come up to allow users to share their models.
Has anyone had an experience doing this and what is the best way of implementing this? Ideally I would like to be able to attach a file or a link to an email/tweet and then send it off and then it opens the file in the app or if you don't have the app installed it send you to the app in the app store?
Update: The MindJet iPad app does exactly what I need
i think you should make your own api on a http server so you can handle the data the users send. and when some one install your application you can check by making a function execute once the app launched if this user "also i suppose here that you have implement a registration module" have any shared data so you can download it ...
The example app you name (mindjet) seems to be using dropbox for its file service.

iPhone Apps are sandboxed.. In simple terms If you create/Install a App, a folder will be created where all your files will be stored. In your case you will have your DB inside that folder.. Your app cannot access anything outside its folder. The same way Another App cannot access your Apps files..
So the answer for your question will be NO..
No. There is no way to access files outside your applications sandbox.
As everybody saying my answer is also NO..
but you can achieve the database sharing having a common database at the server and then syncing it on the both local applications.
Can two different iPhone applications share the same settings? I'm releasing two iPhone products, one that requires the user to login to use, the other that is free and can be used without a login. However, the second free application could have some enhancements that we could give if the user were logged in. Would it be possible to let a user who has both apps installed use the same settings module for the username/password we store on the device?
I don't think this is possible. I believe that each Settings module that is related to your app ID, which will be different for each app. It would be a security risk if one application could access another's settings.
I think the best solution is to use some sort of web service to store/retrieve the settings. Or you could use a custom URL scheme to pass data between the applications if you don't want to use a web service.
Natively I dont think its possible. But interfacing with an Internet Web Service, you could do it.
