I have an IPhone app.And I would like to purchase items like clothes..... through app.So tell me which one is best way?
1.can I redirect to that website using webview ? or
2.Is there any other ways to purchase it?
If I redirect to that particular website then is it taking care of the transactions security?
Any help is greatful
So you are purchasing an item from a web store through a windows application? If so, the web view would be the way to go because it will handle the ssl hopefully implemented from the website, and it should be a breeze to implement.
If this does not answer your question, please reword it in a clear manner.
Is the "store" you are purchasing from yours? while a UIWebView would do the trick just fine (using SSL of course), you would want to make sure the content is sized correctly for the iPhone's screen. IMHO, I would grab the raw data from the site and display it with native UI elements or else why just not visit the store in Mobile-Safari??
you should just use apple inAppPurchase... it was born just for your purpose and works with the same iTune-iStore user account... and apple manage it...

I've been researching for ages and still cannot find an easy solution that perfectly. So i stopped and figured i was going about this project the wrong way. All i need is an easy solution.
My project requires me to make a website that has forms (fields include images, text, urls, colors). When the user submits this form, somehow (THIS IS THE KEY QUESTION), gets sent to Xcode so that it can be used in and iPhone app.
My questions: What is an easy to use program to make a website that can do what i said? How does my website connect to Xcode (supply it with the data)? Is it possible for my app to check for newly submitted info?
Keep in mind that i don't have much coding knowledge as far as websites and i only a little about making iPhone apps (Yes, i have made some but not as advanced as this)
Thank you in advance!
It sounds like you want to build an IOS app that can retrieve user submitted data from the server.
Your form will have to post the data to the server where it is stored in your database. Images will have to be uploaded to the server as well.
You can then build a server-side api that returns data to the IOS device upon request. You can have your IOS app regularly request data from the server, receive the response and store what you need on the device.
There is a lot more to it of course, but from what I can gather from your post, this is what you're looking to do.
The workflow you describe doesn't make any sense.
It starts out easily enough: you have a website that has a form with a submit button. No problem there. Hitting submit likely does a POST to a server somewhere. Again, no problem.
Then you say the form data has to ultimately end up in Xcode. This is where things are really muddled. Xcode is a programming IDE for Mac OS X. I'm not sure how or what it has to do with handling data from a Web form. The two things are, for all intents and purposes, completely independent technologies.
Please describe in much more detail exactly why you think you need to "send data to Xcode". Otherwise, your question, as written, is unanswerable.
I'm trying to block all the PC, laptops and send them to a blank page or any page that I set it up for a PCs site.
I just have a mobile version website and I only want to allow iOS such as iPad, iPod and iPhone to visit my website and block the rest for my security purpose
I'm trying to search in here and google I think I'm using some kind of wrong term or maybe something that I don't know exactly but I see many website does that.
Thanks
I would just scan the user-agent. Find the ones that you will accept and then redirect the rest to a non-blank sorry page. A blank page would not be very nice, so a simple sorry would do. I say this because maybe the user has a mobile device to use, but happens to be on a pc. A blank page would make them think that the site is junk or doesn't work and you might lose their mobile traffic also.
block the rest for my security purpose
How secure does this need to be? You shouldn't trust the client to always tell you the truth about what they are.
I suggest you use some other mechanism to ensure security, for example username/password.
I used MobileESP to detect when someone using a smartphone connects to my website. This uses PHP, and has some functions to make it pretty simple. I'm sure you can accomplish it with the above methods, but in case this would be of some help...

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.
So I have searched for this but not finding anything about it and if I missed it sorry about that. What I am trying to do is see how to go about adding some code to my iphone app that will connect to a php script (if connection available) and update a counter so that I can let my clients know that their app is constantly being used? Also, would apple allow that? Or would my app be denied for doing such a thing? Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
There's a bit of network plumbing to implement this. It's not hard, but a much easier route would be to integrate something like Flurry analytics into your app. They you can make one function call, and have it track and upload the information to Flurry's servers. You can view those stats and get an idea of how people are using your app.
Note: I don't work for Flurry, but I use (and like) their service.
I am wondering if there is some way to make an iPhone application where when a user clicks a UIButton, it to display an alert box about the item and then gives the user an option to purchase it. I see a lot of documentation on Apple's site regarding creating a view to store all of the choices of what to buy, but I don't really want to create my application this way. In addition, do I need to have my app in the app store before I can add in-app-purchasing, or can I do it before?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: I am attempting to make the purchase "Non-Consumable", if it makes any difference in how the button would be set up.
The way a user makes the purchase is irrelevant and can be anything you want. The real challenge is getting the in-app purchasing up and running.
