How can I make my iPhone application retrieve logs of previous SMSs, calls, etc.. based on a user contact?
I'm pretty sure that the API doesn't allow you to do that.

I plan to generate Facebook events (Conversion API) on server side when the user completes registration process. These events will be used for advertising my solution in Facebook and tuning target audience on registration events.
I use POST request to https://graph.facebook.com/v9.0/289777498957502/events to send events. I have to pass user_data entity inside a body of this request. This user data can be email address, click id, user IP address or something else.
I don't have any of these on server side but I can get it.
The problem is that I don't understand why Facebook needs user data and what exactly it needs as data. I can send everything to Facebook but I need to understand mandatory information it requires.
Do you know what should be sent as user data?
As an option I can send internal ID in my system of each user inside user data but I'm not sure Facebook will be happy with that.
Facebook manuals are a pure joke. Literally all are outdated and no information on user data content and why it's required.
The problem is that I don't understand why Facebook needs user data
Because your conversion is (ideally) supposed to get connected to an actual user account. Facebook knows, who the user is, as long as we are on the client side, and their pixel is embedded somewhere - they can make the cross-domain requests in the background, to see who is currently logged-in to Facebook on the device. But if you send conversion data later, from your server - how would they be supposed to associate that with a specific user then, if you don’t send them any data that could identify one?
and what exactly it needs as data.
If you have anything that can uniquely identify the Facebook user, then send that.
Otherwise, send as much data as you can – to increase the posibility, that Facebook will be able to match this to a specific individual.
Check the list they provide under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/conversions-api/parameters/customer-information-parameters
If the user is logged in to your Facebook app while they are on your site, then send the fb_login_id – that is as unique and specific, as can be.
If you don’t use Facebook login on your site, or the user can also perform the action in question without being logged into your Facebook app - then send whatever you have, that identifies them on your end.
In case no unique match is possible, then send as much as possible - first & last name, phone number, date of birth - all those help to narrow down who the user might be on Facebook’s side.
The same data, or at least as much of it as is available at this time, should also be send with the pixel tracking code on the client side already. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-pixel/advanced/advanced-matching/ has details on that.
I am using the new Google Action development environment. I would like to request a user's phone number and also give the user the option to save it for future interactions. This is so I can send text messages and make phone calls for them. Is there a way for me to do this that is compliant with the T&Cs for Google Assistant actions?

My goal is to make a website, in which user could customize a photo and then provide his friends indicators like name or id. My next task is to fetch that info from database and send messages on specific date to provided users. Ex birthday wishes, greetings, and so on.
I studied facebook send api for a few days now and couldn't find solution for myself. If I want to send message, I need to have Page-scoped id of user, which is acquired when the person text you first, which is not desired, because person wouldn't know what it is.
Also I was looking into Customer matching API, also seems to require the same PSID. The next thing I checked was Send Dialog API, which seems to send messages instantly, but not on the specific date. Also I checked unofficial facebook-chat-api, which asks for user ID, whereas I can find my id, I couldn't find ids of my friends.
So I just want to know is it even possible, if yes, I'd really appreciate your help.
User to User communication is not possible (and not allowed) in an automatic way, there is no API for it except for the Send Dialog. The Messenger platform is for page to user communication only.
Do not use inofficial tools, they are not allowed and might get you banned.
I am developing the App, When i receive the call ,I am changing the contact picture of that person who has called , I am fetching his number from the server , i know i cannot access the incoming number ,so by developing this kind of application will apple approve my App ?
I am not violating any Guideline or Rules ,but i just want to know does Apple allows this changing the contact picture of person programmatically ?
You can change a contact picture, check the Address Book Programming Guide for iOS.
About that idea of doing something when you get a call, your app can't be notified when you get an incoming call, there's no API for that, so there's no way of doing this the way you are planning.
is there an option that I could retrieve from my app the latest 10 email subjects from my ipad email inbox.
I would like to display the user his last 10 subjects in my new app.
Any Ideas if this is possible and how?
best

No, it's not. Apple doesn't allow access to most user data that's handled by the built-in native software, and even then generally not without the user explicitly giving the app access (such as in an address book picker).
