I would like to use the "Featured" tabbar item image with a custom title. I have gone through the various questions on SO regarding this and looked everywhere in the SDK frameworks but could not find the PNG for this item. I am using IB to initialize the tabbar and it is a tab-based application.
Can someone please help me out, where can I get that image or if using IB, how can I use that image with a custom title.
Thanks
You can't use the featured icon (or any other supplied icon) with a custom title. Apple intends those icons to only ever be used with the title it's paired with...
Apple have been quite touchy with this topic in the past, even going as far to reject one application because it's icon for "time" was too similar to Apple's icon for "Recents/History".

If you start using Apple's icons, eg, the featured icon with a custom title that isn't "featured" then you're going to have trouble with the review process.

As the title states: is it possible to change the keyboard color to black (some call it transparent?) when working with Phonegap/Cordova? I've googled a lot but I can't seem to find anything about it. So can it be done? Either with HTML5/jquery or in XCode?
A picture of what I'm looking for:
To use a dark theme on the iOS Keyboard, you can follow this article.
You can add the Objective-C code to your PhoneGap project's AppDelegate.m
What is this control? Or is it something that has been custom made? I see it in the Twitter and several other applications. I'm referring to the two triangles, and if you've ever used them, they refresh the view below them, usually going through a list of content items.
(I'm not referring to the navigation controller with a back button)
They are UISegmentedControls with custom images and the style set to UISegmentedControlStyleBar.
Its right there in Apple's NavBar sample code. You have the entire source code for the project. Search for NavBar within the Documentation and API reference item under the Help menu of Xcode 4.
Is there a way i can create the same layout as the apple homepage screen?
I want to create a app with 50 icons, and you can scroll right to see the rest, or scroll left to get a custom search page for something.
I'm trying to find an example of how i can use Page Control and place my icons so they scroll like the apple app page.
Any assistance?
You should take a look at Facebook's Three20 library
http://three20.info/showcase/launcher
Page controls are in fact UIScrollView with pagingEnabled set to YES.
read the apple doc on UIScrolView !
Just be aware of:

I know how to configure the segmented control but I was wondering how to get the same icons ... I tried to do it with photoshop but I just can't manage to achieve the same quality !
I heard there is a possibility to use the "Apple symbols font" available on Mac (which contains these icons), could you show me how to get these symbols ?
Or if you have a link to these precise icons (for free) It would be nice too.
Thank you,

The NavBar sample code in the apple developers page contains these two images and shows you how to implement them.
I discovered somewhat by accident that if you make a UIButton in Interface Builder and type in Plus in the image field, a + image appears for the button. A similar result comes from typing Minus.
I am wondering if this is a bug, or if there is some way the poor programmers can access the built-in general GUI images from other apple apps, such as the green +, the red -, the detail disclosure chevron, the big red "Delete Contact" or similarly styled button, etc.
Has anyone else encountered this, or know where to access these things in Xcode?
It makes sense to me that they should be usable, cause the Apple HIG seems to be all about making things recognizable and intuitive, and using them the way other apps use them.
You can get the UITabBarItems and once there search for UIBarButtonItem. Scroll towards the bottom of the screens and you can see all the system images for Tab Bars and Navigation Bars.
I found an up-to-date (iOS7) list of icons for UIBarButtonSystemItem on the official iOS Developer Library, which could be helpful.
