There seems to me many tutorials on how to associate files to an application, but I cannot find any information on how to open a file from my application using the iOS registered applications of that file type.
What I want is to give the user, inside my own app, the same "open-with" menu that you can find, for example, in Apple's Mail applicaton - is there any Apple API I can use for this?
Looking at an application like Dropbox, I can see they have implemented a similar feature - so there must be a way.
Thanks!
Have a look at [1], Document interaction, Previewing and opening files. Once you have an instance of UIDocumentInteractionController (using interactionControllerWithURL: and setting your delegate) you can use that to present the open menu, for example by using presentOptionsMenuFromBarButtonItem:animated:. If you provide a delegate you can also use that to supply a view for previewing the foreign document.

I have an idea for a small project around music discovery. I'm hoping to find a service that has access to a huge collection of music (a la Spotify, Google Play, etc) but doesn't require each user to already have access to that.
Does this sort of service/api exist somewhere? My googling didn't turn up anything.
Thanks!
There are commercial options, but for your project you might consider Radio Reddit. We have a fairly large library of music mostly fun unsigned musicians.
While we haven't officially documented the API and are still under construction, the media APIs work well and are easy to understand. You can look at your tab while browsing music on the site for an example, or email me at brad#radioreddit.com.

I am going to allow user to share content to their fav services, in my iphone app.
The services I want to integrate include:
twitter
facebook
linkedin
tumblr
evernote
instapaper
etc
Any "One ring to rule them all" open source that I can adopt for this?
I know ShareKit would be a good candidate, but I noticed that it stopped updating since Nov 2010, which is one year ago.
Any suggestions for new such kind of kit?
Thanks
Sharekit is still the best option, but you need to use this version: https://github.com/ShareKit/ShareKit
It is still actively being developed.

I'm working on a new app and would love to have the following feature. If the user is in Apple's Mail, s/he can have the option to open my app.
EDIT: The comments have pointed me to this question, which is perfect for handling attachments, which I also want to do, but I also want the user to be able to copy some text, a date or an e-mail address, and then open my app with that information in tow.
Is there an API set up whereby I can do this?
Thanks!
You can create a custom URL scheme for your app, something like app://path - this is how Facebook handles things, they have URLs like fb://profile/12345.

Are there any full featured GPS applications available with source for the iPhone, preferably that use Open Street Map to get data? None of the current offerings work very well with Voiceover on the iPhone, but it'd be a lot easier to modify an existing app to work with Voiceover then write one from scratch.
The excellent route-me project is open source and uses Open Street Map (among other map providers). It includes a sample app, which I believe cannot be called full-featured but it should be pretty easy to extend it to something that matches most features of the built-in Maps app.
Sharp Map is a geospatial application framework for .Net. Not sure if anybody has tried it on the iPhone.
Might be possible to get running using mono touch
