I need to add an extra condition to the standard EULA. Am I allowed to copy and add to the existing EULA? Or is this a copyright violation?
You can't modify the EULA for the app store. You either accept it or don't get to publish.
You shouldn't copy someone else EULA. You should just write your own. The Apple EULA is going to have a copyright on it the same way that any code you write you automatically have a copyright on it even if you don't put a copyright notice on it.

I got handed a USB-stick with a Filemaker (.fmp12) file. There was also a bunch of images, xml-files and corresponding ._-files. It is supposed to be an browsable image-archive with image meta-data. I'm expected to extract the information and incorporate it into another site. But I have no experience or licence for filemaker so I do not know howto.
Is it possible to get hold of the content somehow, or is my only option to purchase a licence of Filemaker just to export the data to some friendlier format?
Try downloading the free, trial version of FileMaker Pro Advanced 17.
You may need 'full access' privileges or at least login credentials that allow exporting. There may not be a login required, however.
I am using code first api for UI Automation.
I want to check whether file is downloaded or not on button click.
I am able to find the button and click is working fine .
i dont know how to check the file is downloaded or not.
I am new to this technology. sorry if it is a basic question.
Thanks in advance.
Coded UI does not have any built-in facility for checking that a download completed and actually downloaded a file. However, Coded UI tests can use the full facilities of the language they are written in plus the .Net libraries.
In the Coded UI test method, at the place where you expect the download to have been completed, add some code to check the properties of the file that should have been created. For example: its existence, its creation and/or modification date and time, its size. Use the normal file IO operations to perform the checks. Microsoft provide details on How to do basic file I/O in Visual C#.
After performing the checks it may be beneficial to delete the file, to reduce wasted disc space.
I have to solve the following task for our university homepage:
Whenever a pdf is requested the user has to accept a license, which pops up.
On Agree the download starts. If not, no download is possible.
I searched through the extensions but did not find any extension doing the job. Maybe you know one...
So I tried to implement my own extension. Taking the strengths of securelinks (Allows access control to files from a configurable directory ... presents a license acceptation prior to download) and naw_securedl ("Secure Download": Apply TYPO3 access rights to ALL file assets (PDFs, TGZs or JPGs etc. - configurable) - protect them from direct access.) I wanted to combine both extensions to have one that:
whenever a pdf file is requested (naw_securedl)
a license is shown and in case of ACCEPT a redirect to the file happens (securelinks).
This task sounds very easy, since I only have to combine both tasks. Anyway, I failed.
How do you solve this problem?
Do you know some extension doing the job?
Is anyone interested in a cooperation in which we try to create an extension thats doing the job?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Assuming that all donwloads are stored in one folder, I'd recommend writing your own little extension that replaces every link with a link to an intermediate site, like this:
www.mydomain.com/acceptlicense.html?downloadfile=myhighqualitycontent.pdf.
On the accept license page, users need to check the accept license checkbox, then click a submit button, which leads them to the download page, still carrying the GET parameter:
www.mydomain.com/download.html?downloadfile=myhighqualitycontent.pdf.
If not all files are in the same folder, you can replace slashes in the file path with other characters (they need to work in the URL). Or you might need a database table that indexes the files, so you can use IDs for the download files:
www.mydomain.com/acceptlicense.html?downloadfileID=99
If you don't know at all how to write TYPO3 extensions, consider using individual php/html files out of the TYPO3 context.
Our applications set the "do not back-up" flag as per Apple's requirements. Or at least we thought so. A recent submission has been rejected because the reviewer found a file without the flag set. We tested, re-tested and tested again and see that all of our files are created with the "do not back-up" flag. Hmmm!
This is not our first application using the same code base. We've had many others pass through with no issues even some quite recently.
So could it be a sequencing problem? We are copying a database file out of the download bundle that is used as the application's starting content; this content is then updated as the user gets more data. The initial database file can be large - as big as 2MB - depending on the application. We open a new file in the Documents folder, copy the database contents to the new file, close it, and then set the "do not back-up" flag.
Instead should we create an empty file and then immediately set the "do not back-up" flag, prior to opening it to overwrite the empty file with the database contents from the bundle?
I've asked the Apple reviewers this question but have not received an answer yet. I could simply try the different sequence and see what happens in the re-review, but I'd prefer to know what I should be doing and do it, rather than guess what the problem is and shoot in the dark.
So does anyone know of a sure-fire "Apple approved" way to copy out a (database) file from the bundle into the Documents directory and set the "do not back-up" flag? Can anyone shed light on any similar rejections and what they did to please the reviewers?
Having earned the Tumbleweed badge (= its a boring question) here is some information to answer it....
The way to set the "do not back-up" flag has changed between 5.0.1 and 5.1. The release notes for iOS 5.1 SDK has the following entry under "Backup"
iOS 5.1 introduces a new API to mark files or directories that should not be backed up. For NSURL objects, add the NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute to prevent the corresponding file from being backed up. For CFURLRef objects, use the corresponding kCFURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey attribute.
Apps running on iOS 5.1 and later must use the newer attributes and not add the com.apple.MobileBackup extended attribute directly, as previously documented. The com.apple.MobileBackup extended attribute is deprecated and support for it may be removed in a future release.
Note that iCloud was introduced in iOS 5.01, and this change was introduced in 5.1, which means that the app must adapt to the iOS specific version running on the device. One of our developers found the following Gist for code that handles pre- and post- iOS 5.1 devices.
I'm looking to create a script for my 80-year old grandmother that downloads the books she needs, and converts them using the command-line version of Calibre, to kindle format so she can read them on her kindle. She gets a lot of her books from a service in the form of Adobe .epub books. AFAIK, none of these books have DRM on them prior to being converted, so let me be clear - I'm not asking how to strip DRM from an ebook.
What I am asking is whether there is a way to programmatically (from the command line is fine if Adobe Digital Editions supports CL args) use the ticket file to request a book from the library, and download it, in .epub form, to the local hard drive. I simply don't want my grandmother to have to go through all of the unneeded screens in Adobe Digital Editions' interface - she gets confused easily, and the interface tends to be overwhelming for her. I simply want to write a function (it can be a system() call to a command... that's fine) that will allow her to take a file received from the library or digital service and automatically retrieve the proper .epub file.
I have all of the other steps ready to go... I just can't find any way to retrieve the book from the service without using the DE interface.
Any suggestions?
