How to group iphone apps under one main iphone app? - iphone

My requirement is to click one main iphone apps and the next page shows a listing of apps that provide different services. Eg. My main apps is called Company Name apps and when user clicks it open up others app like leave application apps, claim application apps etc. How do I implement that? When send to iphone app store, I only send the main apps and when user download, all the apps like leave, claim apps are also downloaded?

Once application package works as a Single Atomic Application.
com.company.application .
You can add and combine functionality of all application as classes with in one application but like .NET or Jave you can not call other applications from with in one application.
You can further add functionality with in main application which type of user has access to which feature might be some sort of profile services on your server which saves user information.

You can launch other your applications from main if you will specify in other applications URL schemes on which applications will response. For example if you will type skype://ddhhdj in your mobile Safari, than Skype will be launched.

How to Verify User is using TWA as opposed to PWA

I'm looking to launch a single web app that works as a PWA for web users and a TWA for users wanting to download it from the Google Play Store. The app includes a yearly subscription so I'll need to implement separate payments methods for the PWA and TWA in order to comply with Google Play policies.
With this being said, is there a way to identify with JS if the user is viewing the PWA vs the TWA app from the play store? Perhaps something unique to check in the global window object?
Or, is it recommended to publish a whole new version of the app used for the TWA to a different URL that only supports the Google Play payment option.
Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

Interface to the AppStore?

I have a requirement that a client wants to be able to allow users to download apps from within an app (which I will call the main app), based on a user's score (when a user achieves a certain score, they can have an app). We would like to do this without linking to the app store directly, so that users of the main app can be granted access to another app.
So, is there a way to interface to the app store while hiding the official app store from the user? I have seen similar functionality in Passbook, but not exactly what we are looking for. Any ideas? Thanks! Viv

2) Is it possible to handle outside of sandbox environment which has been created using the application we install?
If you're asking if it is possible to actively monitor what websites a user is visiting using the safari browser and have that information to use in you're own app, it's not.
You can't access the data of another application.

How to change appstore application icon

Hi can any one suggest me it is possible or not and if possible then how?
The premise is that the user pays for the app via a website and they gets an access code to send to her guests via the website. The user downloads the free app from the iPhone store and enters the code. We're trying to figure out if we can enable each user to customize the app icon so it can appear with a different image or text on the user phone.
You can't. The application's icon (and the application's property list file) is in the application bundle, which cannot be modified.
This would also violate the iOS SDK Terms of Use and the iTunes Store Terms of Service; you cannot have a third-party receive payment to access a free iOS application.
You can customize the iOS icon of a web app clipping, and put the web site to be clipped behind your private paywall. Apple has been reported in the past to accept App store apps that generate URLs to customized clippable web apps. No idea if they currently or will continue to do so.
Icons on App store iOS apps for stock OS devices can only be changed by Apple approving an update.
Evan is right... This goes against so many terms of the iOS SDK.
One thing you could do (but I can't guarantee it will be accepted by Apple) is create a registration system on your website. Then have a login on the App as soon as it loads and check that the user has a valid account which has paid the subscription. You would have to handle all of your payment stuff on the webside though, meaning the app would be useless unless the user has already sorted that out. If you do this, on submission of your app make sure you provide Apple with a demo account username and password!
As for the icon, you can't change it once the App is submitted. It is bundled in with your app binary and there is also a logo included in iTunes connect. You can change them, but only by submitting a new binary.

How to launch Native App from Web app in iPhone?

I want to access TTS (Text-To-Speech) and STT (Speech-To-Text) functionality of iOS from web app. Since web app dont access ios device functions, is it possible to launch Native app from Web app?
e.g. When user wants to access TTS (e.g. Dragon Dictation), web page will launch Native app, take recording and send the recorded text to web app again.
Or we can access TTS/STT functionality right from web app?
The only native apps you can access from web apps are those with custom URL schemes set up, and the built-in ones e.g. SMS (sms://), phone (tel://), iTunes (itms://) and YouTube (http://youtube.com/watch?...).
If the apps you mention don't have their own custom URL schemes which you can use to get to them, there's no other way you can do this.
I can answer one part of your question - using the functionality of an IOS native app from a web-app;
Apps can be developed such that they respond to custom URL schemes - like, for example, the mail app responds to mailto:// and youtube responds to youtube://. Calling a URL with one of these schemes will start the IOS app - but it's entirely on the developer to code this into their application.
You could therefore in theory develop an app to get triggered from a web-app, perform an action then return to a web app after! Probably not something I would try and do though.
