I am programming WatchKit, I would like to know how to make a phone call in watch kit extension? If it is impossible, how can I make the phone make a phone call by itself.
Apple advises to use Handoff instead.
The openParantApplication method + openURL will not work if the device is locked or the app is in background.

ASP.NET Form. If running a form in a browser on a small (Android) device with a barcode scanner, will the scanned barcode go into the ASP.NET textbox? Or I need to add something to the application?
Well, it going to depend on which of the 150+ barcode scanners you decide to grab from google play.
However, the answer is yes, or no. It will depend on the kind of scanner.
If you download just a scanning application (software based - not built in scanner).
The reason is Android (and even iOS) don't allow one application to set focus, get/grab/take data from other applications. Nor is the reverse allowed. If that was possible, then the app could also get/grab/take values from when you are say running your on-line banking application.
I don't think Android thus supports focus to another application during scan that has focus. Now if this is factory supplied software on the phone? Then yes, this works like a desktop keyboard "wedge". That means the program does not know if you are typing from keyboard, or input is from the scanner (hence the name keyboard wedge). These will work with a web form.
However, we now seeing the rise of software based keyboard wedges. That means the software scanner is installed on android as a custom keyboard. And this in case, then once again, it will work in a web form.
So, for devices with a built in scanner? yes, that will work in all applications. For a software only (uses built in camera), then again, this is possible if the software in question works as a keyboard/wedge scanner.
If you going to adopt android scanning? then use a purpose built Android scanner.
And another possible if you want to use a software scanner? Write a small android application and have it talk to your web site. This I think is the best solution, but of course means you have to adopt some Android dev tools.
So how this works will depend on if the android device has a built in scanner, or it is a software + camera based scanner. However, it would seem that even now installable software based scanners in theory can be made to work for any application since the application is running and behaving as a user installed keyboard.
So, you have to check the particular device. The answer is not in all cases, and the answer depends on if you using a Android device with a built in scanner, or you looking to use any Android phone as that scanner.
google tv used anymote protocol for remote control but the case with android tv does not looks the same. No official docs clearify if they still use the same.
I want to develop an app just like the app by google but with some changes and additions mostly on gamepad part. Additionally if anyone knew how apps like cetus play and droid mote for android tv work?
almost similar questions have been asked before as well but never properly answered. Any information and suggestions will be helpul
I am struggling to find a way so that i can capture keyboard events in adone air even when application is in background mode and sitting in system tray on windows.
Basically i want to make it so that if a user presses a certain combination of keys then adobe air detects it and performs a task. This all happens when the air desktop application is in background and focus is not on air app.
I found extension to capture native mouse movements but was not able to find any extension for capturing keyboard evenets.
Please suggest.
Thanks
As the answers to this question state, you'll need to write your own native extension (or external app, invoked with NativeProcess) to globally capture keyboard events.
Does Apple have a way to find out that an application already is in the Cydia store when I try to submit it to the AppStore?
For Example, if I change the name and icon for an application that appears already in Cydia and try to submit it to AppStore? Can Apple find out?
Is it possible that Apple collects statistics about jailbroken phones and their applications and has this data in its db (by sending it in some background process)?
First of all, I'm assuming that the existing app on Cydia is your app. I certainly don't condone stealing some other developer's intellectual property, just because they released a Cydia store app.
To answer your questions:
Yes, of course. They can just use Cydia themselves and search for your app's name. They could certainly also just use a desktop browser and search for your app's name, to see if there is any obvious copyright infringement. While I don't think Apple feels obligated to do this, I have had apps rejected (before ever being released) because Apple believed my client was violating some other 3rd-party's intellectual property. This kind of search could also turn up a listing in a Cydia store repository. So, it is possible.
I very much doubt Apple would find out about this. Simply renaming the app seems likely to avoid any problems.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if iOS checks to see if the device it's running on has been jailbroken, and if so, reports that status back to Apple? I don't know, but millions of users run jailbroken phones, and I haven't seen Apple try to disable their functionality.
I have had clients release apps on the Cydia store first, and then try to release them on the iTunes App store. Although none of those have been approved by Apple, they have been rejected for private API usage, or violation of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, not because they already existed on Cydia.
I suppose that if an app was released on Cydia, because it used private APIs, and then iOS later added that capability in public APIs, then you could try to submit it to Apple.
I don't work for Apple, so these are only my guesses based on personal experience.
It depends on the repo you put it on. If you put it on a personal repo im sure you will get away with it. It depends on what your app does, it shouldn't really matter to apple as long if it doesn't mod, exploit, change, or use a private API or do any illegal acts/violate copyright it should go right past apple's appstore. They monitor and last time I heard check code manualy.
My web app is written in Java with front-end in JS. I want to port to tablet and other touch mobile devices. Developing a native API is ofcourse an option but I would prefer making the old app work on tablet.
I know I would need to make some changes in UI for the touch interface and I am willing to do it.
So My question is: A*re there tablet Simulators available on which I can try my app and see where it breaks on such device.*
What would be the best approach to proceed on this?
thanks in advance!
Tablets use various OS's and, thus, different API's, supported features, etc... For iPad, for imstance, XCode provides a simulator. I read somewhere that the BB tablet coming out will have a simulator for dev as well.
