I'm desperately trying to find this info and have been searching for several days. I use wifi + skype on my iphone with no plan. All I want to do is when I click on a number in a web page, or in the contacts, is have that number open with another program like skype or google voice.
Is this possible or is there just no way around opening a number with the default dialer? I figured somewhere there's a value that determines which program is called to dial a number.
You would need to jailbreak your phone first, and then you can try to figure out this, not other way

I was wondering if it possible to create an application that will send my 9 year old's iPhone location let's say each 30 minutes, even when the iPhone is not active.
If not, then is it possible to send it each time he uses his phone?
Why not using an existing solution?

See find my friends - it has also parental restrictions. This is excatly what you want.
You're probably looking for startMonitoringForReigion:desiredAccuracy:. This function will allow you to set the iPhone to notify your app anytime a defined boundary is crossed. When you receive this notification, I believe you can send that info to a server or wherever.
That said, if monitoring your child's location is what you want, you'll have great luck with the Find My Friends app from Apple.
Can you send your currently location through the iPhone SDK to another iPhone and have them open up your location in Google Maps?
The only way I can think of is through text message, but I'm not even sure that would work.
Any ideas?
It'd be easy to set up a webserver to relay the message.
User 1's iPhone sends the phone's location to the server, which stores it in a database. User 2's iPhone periodically polls the server for the latest location of User 1 and displays it on screen.
You'd have to work out a good system of limiting which users can access whose data and so on, but otherwise it's a pretty straightforward project.
For example I call on the specific phone number and automaticly connect to some kind of server(?) which is able to handle all my actions while I'm connected. I want to try myself in coding this server, but I have no idea how to start =) Please give me some links to read about this or maybe some keywords to google it. Thanks a lot!
Actionscript3 will handle either web applications or desktop applications. Since you're talking about using a cellphone , I doubt you can achieve what you're looking for with AS3.
You could consider a web application whereas a user would connect to the internet via her phone and interact with your application but as far as calling a number and get some form of server response, you may have to look at using another language than AS3.
Background I am making a web app where the users input their phone numbers and it will randomly match two of them and exchange numbers (similar to chatroulette).
Problem Currently they are just given a number and have to manually enter it. It would be nice if I can automatically get the numbers to "call each other". Google Voice has a similar functionality because you can pick your phone and it will dial you and the other side and connect the call. Is there a service that allows me to do this easily?
Have a look at http://www.phono.com/. It's a jquery phone addin.
Hope it helps.
I am new to iphone stuff. After deploying an application in iTunes is there a way to find out the number of iphone/ipod touch which has installed / uninstalled this application ?
During uninstall the user is asked to rate the application, how to get that information with a developer license credentials ?
Apple tells you the number of sales (and the number of upgrades) in iTunes Connect. What they don't tell you is how many people have uninstalled your application or, more importantly, how many people are still using it n days after installing it.
You may be able to get this information (and more) using one of the third party analytic tools such as Flurry, although Apple has recently started to object to service like them. Another option would be to gather the same kind of information on your own server.
It would be really nice if Apple provided better information but, unfortunately, they don't at the moment.
All this data is provided through Apples iTunes connect site
https://itunesconnect.apple.com
Additionally you could subscribe to one of the support sites like
http://www.appfigures.com
which will give you nice graphs on sales etc
You should also take a look at Flurry Analytic's. Not only will it tell you how many unique devices it has been installed on, but you can add events as well. So lets say your app has a "Featured Listings" area or something like that. Flurry will log how many times people enter into the "Featured" area. It will help track conversion rates...
Also shows you the navigation path the user took. So they click on , "search", then they click on "homes", then they clicked on "featured"... yada yada yada... it provides excellent information.
If your app uses Core Location you can even see a dot on a map as to where the user was when they did all of this.

The information provided by iTunes Connect is the number of downloads of your app. The ratings and reviews are actually not provided via iTunes Connect, but you can find it indirectly on the app store.
There are some services that aggregate all this information for you. A new one is www.appannie.com which shows you both downloads and ratings.
For number of installed Apple just updated https://itunesconnect.apple.com site you can adjust the date range in the middle of screen (using the slider) or by adjusting the dates on top left corner after navigating to sale and trends screen to see how many downloads you have had.
