I'm developing an App for iPhone and we are using the Tapjoy framework. All works fine except two points that I can't solve. If somebody can point me for a solution will be apreciated.
First one:
The tapjoy implements a notification that is called when a new virtual good is downloaded. We saw that when we download a virtual good the download process never finishes and remains in 100% completed. In consequence the notification never is called. This happens randomly for some packages that we uploaded to Tapjoy. To solve that we used a trick, and is that we were looking for the tapjoy code and we saw a notification that is called when the file download reaches the 100%, and we used this one instead the official. This works ok, but in the download screen appears the download process like this: Downloading 100% comleted, instead of Download complete.
Second one:
When the user pushes in the purchase button of tapjoy, we use the following call in order to load the purchase screen:
[TapjoyConnect showVirtualGoodsWithViewController:self];
Randomly this screen appears properly in full screen, but sometimes appears moved up.
Someone had the same problems?
Thanks in advance!
We'll be releasing a new version of the SDK that will fix the notification issue soon, hopefully in a week or two.
Can you give more details about your second issue? What do you mean by the purchase button of tapjoy?
The showVirtualGoodsWithViewController method should only ever be called when you want to display the store view. When purchasing a virtual good, all other subviews are handled by the SDK so you don't need to call that method again.

I am developing an extension of an iPhone App for Apple Watch (written in Swift running WatchOS2.2, Xcode 7.3, testing on a physical device)
I am running into an issue where I expect no prompt/confirmation on the Apple Watch when calling the tel schema for the following function:
WKExtension.sharedExtension().openSystemURL(NSURL(string:"tel:1231231234"))
I am not calling the telprompt function as my understanding is that this is not supported directly by Apple however it seems to be behaving as if it is telprompt. Interestingly enough, telprompt doesn't work.
I am expecting this to directly call the phone number without the prompt on the Apple Watch, however it is first prompting the user displaying a Cancel button on the top left, the number in the middle of the screen, and a Call button at the bottom. This also doesn't appear to be picking up the localization on the system (french for example) so it is always displaying Cancel and Call in English.
Image of Cancel, Number, and Call being prompted when French in the system language
Has anyone else encountered this issue? I haven't found much talk about it on the web. Or is this a known issues? Again, I don't see any bugs reported for it.
Fix Found for the Localization - See Below
Interestingly enough I was able to get the localization working.
The fix for it was that my Target for my Watch and WatchExtension needed to be checked off for my Launch Images (or splash screen images, or commonly left as "default.png"). Previously my Launch Images were for the app Target only.
I have no idea why the localization seemed to be require my launch images be added to the Watch and WatchExtension targets.
This did not resolve the prompting as it still took place - however since it was at least presenting the correct language this was good for us.
I'm trying to create a REST app, but when I go to My Apps and click on the Create App button, I get a spinner and a "We'll be right with you message" and it just stays like that. I went away, returned 10 minutes later and it was still showing the animation. Has anyone had any similar issues? How long does it take for the system to create the app? Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Sorry that you didn't get an answer on this: but if you see this spinner at anytime it's because PayPal is either updating the developer portal or they're having issues with it and fixing it. Next time you experience that check here as it may help you.
Trying to set up mopub for my game.
Still on their site and doing basic setup, but even that is so far going terribly. It does not seem that I am able to upload an app image. (Of course I did send them a message but I can't find any way to contact actual human support.) Every time I try, the loading image just spins and spins for what seems like forever. Is there a trick to it, is it borked, what?
Got a reply -- looks like a mopub bug that they are working on...
I'm making a turn-based game, using the Game Center Turn-Based Gaming functionality. I'm using the simulator and my iPhone to test notifications of turn events. The results are very inconsistent. About 75% of the time when I make a move on the simulator and pass the turn I don't get any notifications on my iPhone. It seems that this function doesn't get called:
handleTurnEventForMatch:didBecomeActive:
I set the GKEventHandlerDelegate in the code that authenticates the local user and it seems to be set correctly. The fact that I get notifications once in a while suggests that this isn't where the problem lies.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem here? Could this be a problem with the Sandbox Game Center Server? Do they limit the amount of notifications you can send in a short amount of time or something like that?
Edit: I just found some posts of people experiencing the same problem, but no solution. No very recent posts though. Any updates?
Edit2: I also find that after a move, when I open the GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController on the other device it still says that it's the turn of the other player. When I close and reopen it the information is correct. Also, when I open the game GKTurnBasedMatchmakerViewController when it's still showing incorrect information, it does gives me the correct match object with the updated information. Could this be related in any way?
I thought I would share my solution with you, in the hopes that it is the same problem you are experiencing. As you can see from my comment to your question, I was having the same issue as you. It turned out that my settings in iTunes Connect were the culprit, unbeknownst to me. What you should check for is that you still have Game Center enabled in BOTH places that iTunes Connect requires. First, after going into "Manage my Apps" in iTunes Connect, select your app and on the right menu, and click "Manage Game Center". Make sure this is currently enabled. I would even recommend disabling it, and re-enabling it again for good measure.
In addition (and this is what I was missing), you must enable it in one more place. Go back to the previous screen when you first select the app. The top right is where you can select Manage Game Center, but we are looking on the bottom in the "Versions" section. Click the View Details button for your app, and make sure the Game Center button is enabled near the bottom. Again, I would disable and re-enable it here as well. Give it about 10 minutes, clear all your open turns and matches from the Game Center app (this might be an optional step), and build & run again. Hopefully, you will receive turn notifications properly again.
I got the same problem. However when i tested it on multiple devices it was working fine... May be some problem with the simulator
In the home page of my iphone app, there is a button added. When that button is clicked some other iphone app needs to be opened in a new viewcontroller (with out closing the parent app).There will be a back button on this view controller. When the back button is clicked, the new viewcontroller which is showing the another app needs to be closed and our parent app's home page needs to be shown.
Please give me some ideas on how to do this. I googled for this i didnt get any solutions.
Thanks,
Raja.
-- the following applies to iOS versions previous than 4.0 :)
Actually, there can be only one iPhone application running at once (with exceptions of Safari, Phone and some other system applications). The iPhone Human Interface Guidelines say so:
Only one iPhone application can run at a time, and third-party applications never run in the background. This means that when users switch to another application, answer the phone, or check their email, the application they were using quits.
However, if you only need to e.g. show a webpage, you can do it using UIWebView
Also, if you need to open another application, you should use URLs as pointed by Steve Harrison. This will, however, close your application. The recommended behavior in this case is to remember your application state and restore it when the application is run again, as Nithin writes.
According to apples documentation, they are not allowing any applications to be run in the background, except system generated ones. So you will be unable to do the thing you are going to implement. However, there is one thing that can make the same result.
You told that you are calling other application to run on a button click. Before initiating that application, save the current state of your application, may be using sqlite3 or core-data, and then open the other one. While returning back, load the pre-saved data from the database or wherever you have stored it. Every time you start the application, you check for the persisted data, if exists, load it or otherwise load your basic view
I don't think that you can run other iPhone apps within your own one. It doesn't make sense. You can open another iPhone app via a URL (see here and here), but this will close your app.
Like it has been stated: running two apps is not allowed by apple. You can however implement this apps features into you're app and have both get and save data to the same server...
Or like Nithin said: this functionality is available on JB iphones. Look into "backgrounder" for implementing one solution for normal users and one for thouse that has jailbroken.
