I'm looking for a reference guide or list of all the new iOS 5 APIs. Apple's website isn't the most user friendly.
You mean something like this?
iOS 4.3 to iOS 5.0 API Differences
or

What is the best way to tweet from an iPhone app?
I know there are some libraries to integrate twitter in an iPhone app like MGTwitterEngine, do I really need it just to sent a tweet?
And what is OAuth? is MGTwitterEngine already include OAuth??
Can someone tell me what are the steps I need to do from start?
The app is for ios 4, so using the new twitter framework in ios 5 is not good for me..
If you are using iOS 5 there is a whole Twitter Framework built in. Otherwise you will have to use a third party library to do this.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Twitter/Reference/TwitterFrameworkReference/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011014
UPDATE
Please also do note that Apple will no longer accept anything that can not run on iPhone 5, so you will have to be use iOS 6 SDK or later anyway
I am not getting any good code for integrating text with image upload on twitter using iphone sdk. I found that with release of iOS 5 a framework named Twitter.Framework is also released. Will this framework be supported on older iOS?
No, Twitter integration got introduced in iOS 5. You'll need to find a third party library for older versions of iOS.
How to develop a twitter app that post images, message and link into twitter? The twitter app can run on iOS 5, iOS 4 and older. Thanks!
I guess you want to take the shortest possible route here. If I would you I would check the iOS SDK for addthis.
Its very easy to add and use. I think it supports even iOS 3.x series.
Is it possible to make use of google Maps street view in iOS 5 ipad programming With annotations and other features of mapkit
Click on What's New in iOS » iOS 5 » MapKit.
If there is no mention of a new API for that feature, or if the framework is not even listed, then it hasn't been added. This answers all questions about new features in any framework of any iOS version.
You should try apple developer forums as iOS 5 is currently under NDA.
It's available in Maps, but wether it's accessible as an API which I think you're asking, I don't know, expect an answer from someone who has downloaded the beta SDK.
Good luck !
I'm developping an ios (3.1.3) application to manage contacts, tasks, activities, etc. These models are managed by core data and it works very well. Now I want to make all these items searchable in the spotlight search bar in iOS.
Is that possible?
And if so, how to code it? I found the "Core Data Spotlight Integration Programming Guide" but it's not suitable for iOS and I don't find any document or tutorial related to what I want.
Any ideas, suggestions? or full solution! :D
Thanks in advance!
This will be possible from iOS 9 onwards.
Apple just released a CoreSpotlight framework at WWDC 2015, and with integration its possible to search contents within third party apps and much more.
Documentation
You cannot integrate your application with Spotlight in iOS for now, there's no API to do it.
You can file a radar and wish an new Spotlight API in iOS 5?
Global search spanning all apps was a core feature of PalmOS going way back to PalmOS version 2.0, if I recall correctly. Yet even today, Apple's iOS Spotlight Search still only supports the built in apps provided by Apple.
It is shameful that Apple hasn't opened this up to developers yet - it would make Spotlight so much more useful on the iPhone and iPad.
You can now do it with iOS9 Search.
