Can a (jailbroken OR not) smart phone app access your private info, contacts, sms and sends back to collector?

On a stock Android phone, an application can request permission to access all of those items.
On a stock iPhone, an application can access contacts, but not SMS etc.
On a jailbroken iPhone, an application can do whatever it wants.

On android an app can steal your information and send them back but when you install them from market you can see which things the app wants access to.
I don't know about the iPhone.

Is this possible? I would like to create a service that would make it easy for people to create Newsstand Magazines.
So in other words, they'd put in the content for the magazine in my service and I'd release it for them in the app store. Would this be possible, or would Apple say no to this? What do you think?
You'd have to release an app for each person that signs up. There is no way to automate this process and add apps to Newsstand (you would have to submit each app manually). The only possibility is to create a Newsstand app that downloads magazine info from your site, and then displays the various magazines to the user. However, Apple could reject the app since it mimics core system functionality, and it is a very unprofessional way for the magazines to reach their audience.

I wonder, what do I need to have my xCode app on iPhone device?
For example, I built CoolGuitarTuner app which I want to use myself and maybe share it with a couple of friends.
Can I just somehow copy it on my iPhone for my own private use without any registrations or payments?
Thanks!
You still need a $99 developer account. That should be all you need, regardless of whether or not you list any apps for sale. Or you could jailbreak.
You can go through iPhone Test Application
And This Blog gives your detailed information about how to deploy application on your device
Hope this will help you out.

If we remove one of our apps from the iPhone app store what is the effect on all the people who have previously purchased the app. In other words if they change devices, or lose their phone and sign in with the same account used to buy our app, will they still be able to download it from the store? Or is it completely eliminated from Apple's servers?
They should still be able to download it even if they switch devices after you pull it from the store.

When users download iPhone apps, can developers gain access to user identifiable information (e.g., full name, email address, iTunes account)?
How about Android app downloads?
We believe the answer is no, but just wanted to verify the privacy policies on the respective platforms.
So developers just see random IDs representing unique users?
Thanks!
The answer is no. This is not possible. For good reason.
With purchased apps from the Android Market, you have access to the name and shipping address, along with a #checkout.google.com email address to contact the purchased.

There are a lot of useful apps already available in the app store and I don't want to reinvent them just because i think they'd be useful to be part of my app. So I'm wondering whether it is possible to sell them from within my app, whereby the user can purchase them without leaving the comfy confines of my app. Any idea about this? Or will the user always have to head over to the App Store to get their hands on them?
On a side note, it would be nice if i could get some commission for selling them within my app (can't imagine Apple would allow that though).
No this is not possible. Best you can do is redirect the user to the app store app from within your app to the app the user wants more info on.
That's a question for Apple. You might check out Apple's In App Purchase Programming Guide.
