Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to use the MapKit Framework to enable users to see nearby friends/users on a map? I'm working on an app that resembles the Grindr/Blendr functionality only with a completely different purpose...
There are several good tutorials on how to use the map kit framework in general.
Here's a link to something that will get you started.
If you are interested in a framework that will create the map and add the nearby users to it (which is not a built-in feature in the map kit framework. You have to get these users' locations and add them yourself), you should take a look at Scringo

I am looking for a way to track the navigation process of my users, as well as the number of clicks/user for each view, average screen time per/day/user, and so on.
I know I can do this programmatically but it doesn't seem like the ideal solution.
Is there any software that covers all of this?
Visual Studio App Center provides multiple useful tools. It offers real-time diagnostic data, tracking of usage patterns, user adoption and a lot more engagement metrics with App Center Analytics. You can even use custom events to get the exact user behaviors you are looking for.
I've been using it for a while and so far i'm satisfied.
AppCenter is the easiest to integrate with, it also allows you to export the data to ApplicationInsights on azure to do more with that data. There are some other options like Google Analytics (You have to install nugets on platform projects and implement them separately). You also have segment If you are interested.
I need a UI library with Angular components to display and edit state chart diagrams with data bindings, so the diagrams can be translated bidirectional between the visual diagram and the native statemachine model entities in my application. I have pored over pages of google search to no avail.
I must admit I am a newbie to Angular and my expertise is to the level of using standard components available from npmjs repository. So far, I have been comfortable using different ui components such as ngx-bootstrap, valour, etc. I do not have the competence or know-how to build new components using diagram libraries with JS/JQuery inside my angular project to realise the requirements. I would really appreciate if any UI Toolkit/Library available for this. Even reasonably priced commercial frameworks are acceptable for me.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have already checked out free/open-source/commercial frameworks such as Telerik Kondo, SyncFusion, Ionic, JQWidgets, etc. I have pored over their documentation published for free. However, I always end up in either (a) they do not suit my needs, or (b) it involves developing this component myself. I know how it sounds, but my need is similar to needing a car; not design & build one myself. I do not have the ability to do it.
I need support for Angular 7 or 8 to be precise.
I would like to develop a WP7 application that has a map in one portion of the display. Since it needs to be stand-alone, I need a utility that has built-in maps and does not need to surf the internet in order to operate. Is there any technique present there in wp7 to do the same. Please help me to find a solution.
Not possible, since Bing Maps doesn't work offline.
I think you might be able to use your own maps in the Bing Maps control, so you could include them in your application, see here.
the iPhone SDK provides with MapKit a simple solution for maps und reverse geocoding without any additional costs. Does anyone know if there is a similar Framework for Cocoa on OSX? I know that google maps is capable of that but as far as I know and understand I have to pay while using google maps in a commercial application?
Thanks for your answers

You won't have to pay as long as you don't use the quota.
The api documentation is here :
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/
If you plan to use it reasonably, this will remain free (no api key is required anymore by google)
we would like to write a web based application to monitor the ATM machines in the bank to have the following functionality:
Display location of each terminal
Display general status of the
terminal in color coding or simple
icon (ATM up/Down/needs attention,
low cash, etc.)
Have a facility to drill down on the
status of the machine with more
details (display counters, up time,
etc.)
Have the facility to zoom in the map
and pan the map, and to search for
locations by address or geo location
The status of the machine is available in an Oracle database, and the geolocation is to be added to the terminal definition
is there any ready open source API available to use to implement the above requirements? if there is something for Oracle it would be great
PS: we are looking for an API to support the following countries (UAE and GCC, Kazakhistan, Egypt and North Africa)
Thank you
I would suggest using Google's Maps API, it uses a UI familiar to many people online and it can be customized as you see fit.
Advantages
Easy to use.
Easy to develop.
Familiar UI.
Very customizable.
Maps updated frequently.
Disadvantages
Requires an internet connection.
At presently in the ATM industry there is no open source solution,,, and basically if you want to write an application consider multivendor specific.The possibilites which you say could be only if all ATM Machines have common interface, from vendor to Vendor it differs.
Do let me know if you have more queries
