Since I'm not using any real localization technique besides having my dates generated based on the user's locale, I still wanted to have different screenshots in different countries for my app. Any way of doing this?
For reference, i know the app Moneybook is doing it, but also understand that they have localization support.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, within iTunes Connect add some localisation which allows for different text and images for languages.
If you just want different images you will need to copy your English text and keywords in.

If I make one app that is for different countries but for example is sponsored by "Lyft" in the US and "UBER" in the UK can i make changes to the app store images in each location to show Lyft in the US and UBER in the UK so i can avoid making more than one app ?
If not what is the best workaround for this?
It's possible to upload different screenshots for different localisations.
First of all you have to add additional localisations for the languages / countries you want to target in iTunes Connect.
Then go to the new Media Manager to upload different screenshots for the different localisations. (And not "just" take the ones from your primary locale)
First of all just let me say that this is my very first attempt at making an ios app so if everyone would treat me as a complete noob I would appreciate it.
After searching here and Google for 2 hours I decided to just ask, I realise that I've probably missed it somewhere so please don't bite my head off if it's located elsewhere.
So I was asked to design a gallery app for an artist where users could preview his work and then buy packages of high resolution images if they wanted. what I did was created one "main" free app with thumbnails of all the art organised into galleries. Each gallery has a purchase button which will link to a seperate app containing the high res images of that gallery. My problem is thus, I want to give users full access to the images. I.E. I don't want them to just be able to view them in app, I want them to be able to use the jpg's for whatever they want (wallpaper, websites, etc, etc).
What would the best way to do this? Add them to the iphone / ipad's gallery app? Just an external folder containing the images? And also how would one go about doing it, remember I built this entire thing using just the interface builder and have no idea how to code in objective c at all so please take this into account when responding.
Thank you in advance for any help, I'm getting desperate and the artist is getting impatient.
You are going to have to write some code (or find a programmer). It doesn't hurt (too much...)
Try looking at this question and see how far you get
I want to add local languages for the description of my app, and so I made a new version just so I could Localize the description. However, I did not change any of my app to be location-dependent (It's just english, and it's a rather simple resistance-color code calculator app without much text, and operates on the basis of color-codedness.) Will my app be rejected for failing to truly "localize", per se? Is this a stringent guideline or is it okay to just change the app store description language?
I don't know if Apple will reject you on that basis or not. But doing something like that could anger your customers, and I wouldn't blame them. I would suggest that you either localize everything, including the content, or localize nothing. Misleading your customers is not the path to long-term success.
Your app should not be rejected. I've done this. My app is mostly numbers which is universal. I've translated descriptions to 6 languages and the app is in the app store just fine.
Don't mislead your users. Your users are your greatest allies or enemies, depending on your attitude. If you don't respect them, they won't like you.
If you want to make a localization, create a support for multilinguality and you can add languages later on. Also, in my opinion your users should be able to choose the language they want to use your app in. As a default you can choose the language of the region. However, it's rude to localize by location and not letting the users to change their language. If you show respect towards your users you will have greater chance of success.
All I want to do is be able to tell whether or not a user of my app is using the 24-hour clock or not. I realize that I can't set these settings, I just want to read them.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, I want to be able to read the values a user has set in the built-in "Settings" app of the iPhone. The one with the gray gears as the icon.
I tried googling a variety of searches that might provide an answer, but that didn't work. I tried looking through the documentation that Apple provides for xcode programmers, but that didn't turn anything up, either.
If you want this information in order to display a time, you don't need to query the Settings app. NSDateFormatter will format the time according to the user's settings automatically.
I'm new to iOS, and I'm looking for a creative solution to a simple problem.
Now, if I want to send a user to the app store in order to purchase one app, I know how to do so (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/433907/how-to-link-to-apps-on-the-app-store/).
But, inside my app, I'd like to create a straightforward way to link to a collection of apps (not from the same seller). Or, better yet, I'd like to create a way for a user to download multiple apps with the fewest clicks possible.
I've contemplated some solutions, but I'm not sure which are feasible. I'm also not sure if I'm missing something obvious. The two options I've thought of thus far are (drum roll):
Create an app collection, and link to it. I know that Apple can create collections in this way (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewGrouping?id=25180&mt=8) but I'm not sure if a poor bloke like myself can do the same.
Create a bunch of links to individual apps. I don't like this solution, as the user has to toggle multiple times between my app and the app store.
Any creative or technical input would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't tried this, but try using a webview, and load the itunes web link for each app in a separate frame.
Theres no built in way to automatically download another app from within your app, except through iads, but thats not what you talking about. The only thing you can do is put multiple links. You would be able to search for all the apps by one account, except you said it’ll be from multiple accounts.
Sorry, but theres presently no built in way to do what your saying.
