Recent iPads are having provision to insert sim card in that. So with latest iOS SDK, is it possible to call from my application. I know that in-app call is possible from iPhone. But how about iPad? is any api for that? or any app already in market? any tutorials or links .
thanks
The 3G ipad doesn't support native phone calls. The 3G is just for data transfer. However there's nothing stopping you from creating an app similar to the way Skype and other voice over ip apps work, that allow you to make phone calls from the ipad. Line2 is an example of such an app.
It's not possible. The iPad was not created to make phone calls, and there is no native Phone app (like what the iPhone has).
The SIM card slot is to allow internet use via 3G.

My app that I submitted yesterday to the App Store had to be compatible only for iPhones because that is how I already set it to like this.
Now I saw that on iTunes on my app it says that is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod and it really should be only iPhone.
I tried to solve the problem with adding the element telephony to the array Required device capabilities in info.plist like this.
Will that make in iTunes to say Compatible with iPhone only and not allow installs on iPads and iPods ? If not how can I solve the problem ?
Yes, that should do it according to this other stack overflow post:
How to Restrict the iOS app only for iPhone excluding iPad?
Essentially there's no way to restrict apps by device unless the device doesn't have a feature you need, in this case, the ability to make calls (telephony).
I want an iOS app which communicates to another app in PC/MAC via USB.,Is there any way to do it without jailbreaking the iOS device and without applying to Apple's MFI Program ?
I don't intend to submit the application to Appstore.
Thanks for any help in advance.
You need to use the External Accessory Framework
Is it possible to switch between WiFi networks in an iPhone App programmatically? At time of app execution if one network goes down but that is still connected and I want to switch to another wi-fi network. Is this possible?
Your iPhone app shouldn't manage wifi networks. If it does, it won't get approved by Apple to be put in the App Store. The iPhone itself manages wifi connections, not a third-party app.
If you are developing for a jailbroken iphone, you can develop a MobileSubstrate extension/ Tweak with Theos and hook into the SpringBoard Application. The SBWiFiManager interface is part of SpringBoard app and has a lot of useful methods that should help you with controlling WiFi.
There is no iOS API for this, but there can be some possible solutions, like make it available on Cydia for jailbroken devices. AirServer just did this.
I have an app that I want to release for iPhone and iPad. There is a feature in the app that allows data transfers via gamekit between other people who have the app. I don't want to make the app universal. I want an iPhone version and an iPad HD version. The iPhone version will be free and the iPad version will be paid. My question is, will my iPhone app be able to "speak" to my iPad app if they are two separate apps? The code base is the same for both iPhone and iPad as far as data transmission goes.
Thoughts?
Yes, the two app's can speak using either GameKit over bluetooth or via Bonjour wifi. When you setup a GameKit session, you define the the session with a string identifier. This identifier is the key, as any app that includes the same identifier in it's code will be able to speak to other apps that use the same identifier regardless of what device or app bundle the user is running with.
Is it possible to make an App for the Iphone that apply changes to the Original Iphone SMS app?
for instance add a new button or play an animation when an sms is sent?
Not in any way that's supported by Apple. It's likely to be possible if your phone is jailbroken, but other than that you're out of luck.
No, apps are sandboxed so they can't access other apps on the phone unless there is support in the SDK for it (like accessing the camera roll or calendar). You can do it with a jailbroken device though.
