From google drive, I would like users to be able to open files using my new app maker app. In app scripts, you can click register in the chrome web store. Is this possible with app maker? It would also be awesome for users to be able to simply click the icon from the apps section of their gmail, etc. Thank you in advance!
It's ambiguous as to what you're looking to achieve from your question.
You might either be looking for how to use the Drive Picker widget
Or you might be looking to release an App Maker app in the Chrome Web Store, which is not at all possible.

I am using Maximo anywhere 7.6.3 and wanted to know if we need an apple account to customize (i.e add new fields) to existing application. The customization guide of 7.6.2 says it is needed for building iphone applications, but then not sure if it is required for the latest version. The modifications that i made in dev. work as expected though.
in order to compile to IOS, you don't need a developer account, just XCODE and a MAC. In order to distribute the app via the app store, you would need a developer account.
IBM publishes out of the box Anywhere applications to both the Google Play and Apple app stores, so you can point them at your Anywhere server and deploy a lot of changes that way without the need for an Apple account.
If you want to make changes to the iOS apps like custom app icons, custom app names or baking in the server url and then distribute the app either publicly or within your organisation, then you will need an Apple developer/enterprise account.
I currently have a scenario where I have app A and a sister app called app B. I would like to have app A and app B respond to a Firebase dynamic link and be able to either app A or app B opened depending on which app the user has on their phone.
Is it possible to achieve this in Firebase. So if I have www.mydomain.com/data/myData. If person A has app A on their phone, the when person A presses www.mydomain.com/data/myData, the app A opens. But if person B who has app B installed on their phone press www.mydomain.com/data/myData then app B opens. Is this possible at all on FireBase?
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is have two apps be able to acquire information from say a URL like, www.mydomain.com/data/myData and use myData as needed in each separate app.
Think of it as two apps "sharing" data between each other.
From an iOS perspective, based on this tutorial and this response from branch on SO, clearly this is possible but does Firebase cater for an app being able to respond to two custom URLs.
Disclaimer: I haven't actually tested this all the way through.
This should be possible with Dynamic Links. When you visit the Overview section of the Firebase console, you have the option to add multiple apps to a Firebase single project. Both apps are correctly inserted into the apple-app-site-association file, which means every Dynamic Link in that Firebase project will be a Universal Link that should correctly triggers either app.
There are a couple caveats to be aware of:
Behavior if both apps are installed on a device is undefined.
For obvious reasons, you have to pick just one of the App Store pages as the app-not-installed fallback location. A workaround for this could be sending the user to a non-store page.
So Firebase has these Dynamic links, which if you click in your Android / iPhone you get redirected to your app instead of the website. So when you want to invite your friends to join you in the app (game, group chat or whatever) you just share this link with them.
I was wondering if this was achievable with UWP. I watched a video about project Rome where they talk about AppUriHandlers which seem to do the job. HOWEVER they require you to have a json file at your web server root which would identify your app, saying "yea, this app is allowed and me are associated, open this app when someone launches this link".
The problem with that is that the Firebase dynamic link points to a google endpoint, e.g. https://aaxy2.app.goo.gl/?link=redirect_here and naturely there is going to be no json file just sitting there.
Is there some other way how to have users redirected to my app just via a link (it needs to be an http link because that's what the Android and iOS versions of the app will be using).
It's not going to be possible; for this exact reason. To ensure that web links aren't hijacked by third parties (for potentially malicious reasons), only the owner of a domain (or more accurately: the person/people with access to the storage where the domains points) can "approve" an app.
Update:
After actually doing my job and properly reading your question, I can give you a correct answer; sorry :/
Linking to UWP apps will work similarly to how it's described for iOS apps in the first section here:
You can do the iOS 8 way and support a uri scheme as described in the Windows docs here.
With the Anniversary Update you can also support AppUriHandlers by directing your users to a web link that will launch your app instead (as described in the Dynamic Links docs for iOS 9).
It looks like, however, that you need to register an iOS or Android app to get going, so that might give you some trouble.
I have a mobile apps that i applied my google analytics track IDs but when i create the google analytics app profiles i initially choose web app instead of mobile app. while exploring around the settings, I could not find a switch to convert it into mobile app. I have more than 10 app with different google analytics track id, so i don't think creating new profile is great solution, there might be switch to change it to mobile app.
Someone out there might have encounter this situation. please help.
Solution:
What i did to solved this was create a new App, same name with the web one, then set it to mobile and then delete the web app.
The accepted answer is actually the incorrect. Specially if you have a existing web profile which as lots of historical data. Here is how to solve this by keeping your existing web property.
You add a profile view on your existing Web Property which can be a Mobile Ap Profile. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1009714?hl=en
The big clue came from this Upgrade to Universal Analytics post https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade/reference/mobile-sdk
"To get access to new app reports and features, you will need to upgrade to v2.x or higher of the SDK and create at least one app view (profile) in your reports to view the data. Any new data sent from your app will only be available in this new app view (profile), while your old data will continue to be available in the original web view (profile). Learn more about the latest version of the SDK for Android or iOS."
There is currently no way to change the type of tracking after the profile is created. You will have to create new profile IDs and update the apps.
My Client wants a native iPhone App that displays their mobile site optimized for iPhone developed using asp.net and ComponentOnes Studio for iPhone. i was planning to use a PhoneGap app which calls an external URL using JavaScript and do it after showing the splash screen. but according to phoneGap FAQ its most likely to apple to reject an app that loads external URL ? just need somebody to clear me on the whole process. isnt it possible to create an app like that ? i've seen various iPhone apps that do this (eg: cydia).
else what care should i take if i'm to develop such an application.
I think you have answered your own question, while it is completly possible to create such an app with Phonegap, Apple isn't going to approve an app that doesn't have functionality when running unconnected (though how much functionality with Apple is never clear). In fact, there have been at least one report on the Phonegap google groups list of app's being rejected because it was just a "web clip", meaning that the app could have just been done as a website, apparently you have to add some functionality, my guess being services exposed by Phonegap, that you wouldn't be able to do on just a website..
And it is more to the point that the app that you chose to use as an example of a "web app", is only available on jailbroken phones.
