I would like to allow the users to share a content from within my app to others social app such as whatsup, facebook, sms, etc...
I heard about the uiactivityviewcontroller, but not shure this is the right way to accomplish that.
There's a sample extension with code https://docs.xamarin.com/samples/monotouch/ios8/Share/ does that help any? It doesn't do much, but it shows the structure, you'd need your own code to do the actual sharing

I see that there are all these analytics apps for FB, Instagram, Twitter, etc.. that track your top followers/who unfollowed you etc.... and I was wondering how can you make something like this. How do you get access to Instagram. All the apps out there charge people a ton of money and being an David instagram user, I hate it. I want to make my ow app that is a 1 time fee of $1 and I don't want to rope people's arms for cash. I am a programmer so I was hoping to make the app in Xcode. I just need to know how to import follower/likes etc.. into my app from individual instagram accounts.
Thanks!
Using the various app's api's. You can google each of the app's apis where you want to pull data from and use the data in your app.
I'm looking for a way to get a list of all the users apps (that is apps published by the user NOT apps downloaded by the user).
Which API should I be looking at? I'm also interested in getting data about the apps uploaded.
Something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Goodgame+Studios
But as a api call.
As far as I know there is no official API to do that.
You may look for some third-party APIs like http://www.playstoreapi.com but I don't know if it is enough for you.
I noticed the other day that when I took a photo on Windows Phone 7.5 I got the option to share it to lots of places, including Evernote and Flickr.
As far as I know these are not standard sharing destinations and have probably been added as sharing options by their respective Apps after I downloaded them.
I have found the API to share a link to some of these services.
What I can't seem to find any info on is how I can share photos and other stuff to ALL of the services that seem to be available to the photo app.
I could do it by using the Evernote/Flickr/etc.. APIs myself, but this would require another OAuth signin for the user for each service, something that would not be required if I could leverage the system sharing options.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to do this?
Thanks,
Andi
You cannot, as far as I know.
Apps can share to the targets you know - SMS, Email, Social/Link.
The built in photo app, specifically, is extendible in such a way that you can register your app to allow photos to be shared to it.
So, in other words, the only options you have (w/o coding them yourself) are:
Your App -> Email, SMS, Social
Photo -> Your app
I might be missing something but I'm trying to implement a contacts retrieval mechanism akin to the one that is offered by Google for Yahoo and Hotmail. Both APIs seem to require the user to actually go to their sites to log in. The documentation is really convoluted for both. I was hoping someone has done this and can point me to a simple way (if there is one) to allow the user to log in directly in my app and then for me to go and fetch their contacts for them (preferably in XML, but JSON would also do nicely).
I currently have a Perl script that goes and gets the gmail stuff and works very nicely. I was (maybe wildly optimistically) hoping that Yahoo and Microsoft would have similarly useful mechanisms.
Check out Open Inviter: http://openinviter.com. It has Yahoo, Hotmail, and many more :)
Seems http://openinviter.com domain is no more. There are few other providers available in market out of which I liked https://socialinviter.com, give it a try.
When you go to edit your favorite music or movies on Facebook, you will notice an autocomplete suggest list that is basically a list of "everything" (brand names, music artists, movies, etc.) How can someone consume that list in their own code? Is it part of the Facebook API?
They wrap some of the functionality in their FBML fields, but their developer wiki shows how they do what they do. If you want to consume their data though, you're going to have to play with an HTTP proxy and figure out what parameters to send to their server. There are also a couple parameters that seem to be session based, so I don't know how well you're going to be able to integrate this into your own application.
This was working for awhile, but now they require the session cookie, so we'll have to hope they add support for this to the graph api, unless you want to fight w/ the proxy.
