Apps that use non-public APIs will be rejected

Hi guys
Just reading the iOS guidelines before I get too deep into making the native version of a web app.
I was wondering what:
Apps that use non-public APIs will be rejected
means when submitting an app made in AIR - does it mean you can't use your own custom classes?
Cheers

If you mean custom AS3 classes, yes you can use those. What you can't do is create an ANE that calls into the private frameworks of iOS itself.

  • App rejected due to non-public api's

    Hi,
              My App rejected due to non-public api's.
    Apple's Comments: 
    2.5: Apps that use non-public
                                      "We found that your app uses one or more non-public APIs, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. The use of non-public APIs is not permissible because it can lead to a poor user experience should these APIs change.
    We found the following non-public API/s in your app:
    _updateView (I have the method name like "_updateView" in my source, can I change the name of the method. Is it works ? )
    If you have defined methods in your source code with the same names as the above-mentioned APIs, we suggest altering your method names so that they no longer collide with Apple's private APIs to avoid your application being flagged in future submissions.
    Additionally, one or more of the above-mentioned APIs may reside in a static library included with your application. If you do not have access to the library's source, you may be able to search the compiled binary using "strings" or "otool" command line tools. The "strings" tool can output a list of the methods that the library calls and "otool -ov" will output the Objective-C class structures and their defined methods. These techniques can help you narrow down where the problematic code resides."
                                    And in my application, I am using the FBConnect, SDWebImage library,  and Twitter+oAuth api's. These are non-public api's ? Now, can I integrate Jira (Crash Reporter) to my application? Can anybody solve my issue......
    Thanks & Regards,

    We appreciate that you may have made the precautions in your code for using non-public APIs, however, there is no way to accurately or completely predict how an API may be modified and what effects those modifications may have. For this reason, we do not permit the use of non-public APIs in App Store apps.
    If there are no alternatives for providing the functionality your app requires, we encourage you to file an enhancement request. Or, try working with the Apple Developer Technical Support team to explore alternative solutions. 
    On occasion, there may be apps on the App Store that don't appear to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines. We work hard to ensure that the apps on the App Store are in compliance and we try to identify any apps currently on the App Store that may not be. It takes time to identify these occurrences but another app being out of compliance is not a reason for your app to be.
    For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. Please be sure to:
    - include the complete details of your rejection issues
    - prepare any symbolicated crash logs, screenshots, and steps to reproduce the issues for when the DTS engineer follows up.
    For information on how to symbolicate and read a crash log, please see Tech Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing iPhone OS Application Crash Reports.

  • Using non public callable API

    Hello All,
    I had a post before about using work incident API but nobody responded to me. Here is the link:
    https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=10458788#10458788
    Any way, I found out how should I find the incident reference . Actually, the incident reference is getting generated from the system and how the system does generate that is, it calls a non public callable api. Now for my procedure I want to try to call that non public api, and here is just the test code but I get this error:
    Error(5,2): PLS-00221: 'GET_OSHA_CASE_NUMBER' is not a procedure or is undefined
    my code is:
    create or replace
    PROCEDURE INCIDENT_REFERENCE
    AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
    begin
    APPS_APPLMGR.per_inc_bus.get_osha_case_number (to_date('01-OCT-03 22:39:04'), 0);
    end;
    Could you please advise me how I can call this api? Or is there any code that I need to use before calling it.
    Thanks,

    a) you are calling a function as a procedure
    b) you are calling a procedure that does not exist
    From the code unit's name, it would seem that this is a function - not a procedure. The get in the name implies a getter code unit (as oppose to a setter). Getters are typically functions.
    E.g.:
    create or replace procedure FooProc authid current user is
    caseNumber  number;
    begin
      caseNumber := APPS_APPLMGR.per_inc_bus.get_osha_case_number ( sysdate, 0 );
      .. do something with number..
    end;

  • Oh no! "Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs."

    Tried to submit an app to the Mac App store and I received this now:
    "Deprecated API Usage - Apple no longer accepts submissions of apps that use QuickTime APIs."
    Looks like a fix is in for Adobe Air (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3680732), but I'm not sure if the same is being performed on Director.
    I'm not using any Xtras or anything, I think this is just embed within the Director builds.
    Looks like submitting anything to any Apple App store is going to be on hold for everyone until this gets fixed.

    Hi,
    Looks like this issue has been fixed in April 8th, 2014 release of AIR SDK. So the latest release 13.0.0.111 on May 13th, 2014 will have this issue fixed.

    Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
    Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
    Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.

  • Can I cluster a web app that uses Spring and iBATIS?

    I have a web app that uses Spring and iBATIS. It runs great on a single server. I am now trying to get it to run in a cluster. I went through the code and made all the classes serializable. Also, I added the distributable tag to the web.xml. I then deployed it to two clustered app servers.
    When I logon and use the web app, everything goes well. Then, as a test, I determine which app server is being used and stop the web app on it. As I try to continue my session, the following exceptions are generated from the other node:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No SqlMapClient specified.
    The exception is being thrown from the Spring code. Is there something else I need to do to get Spring and iBatis to work in a clustered environment.
    Also, I see a lot of references to Terracotta as a clustering solution. Will Terracotta work with Oracle App Server?

    Thanks for the response.
    I think my session information is being shared. I've configured the default application in my OC4J configured for peer-to-peer clustering. Before I did this, if I shut down the instance I was using, it would fail-over to the other application server but my session would be gone and I would be forced to logon again. But once I was logged on, everything ran smoothly.

  • Hiss noise from iPad2 speakers when launching an app that uses the speakers

    A couple of months ago I bought an iPad2 Wi-Fi. It was working fine until yesterday that it started making a hiss noise every time an app that uses the speakers was launched, for example when the keyboard clicks sound is enabled it will make noise while typing (this is somehow annoying). Is this a known issue?
    Is this a hardware defect or can it be fixed with a software upgrade?
    Thanks.

    i have the same problem: ipad2 makes noise every time when plays sound (music, video, games, typing)
    i'm sure that problem is hardware..
    the noise exists only with speaker: if i connect headphones noise disappears

  • My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

    My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

    If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
    You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds                              

  • I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build.  The same call works fine when running on the device

    I have a production mobile Flex app that uses RemoteObject calls for all data access, and it's working well, except for a new remote call I just added that only fails when running with a release build. The same call works fine when running on the device (iPhone) using debug build. When running with a release build, the result handler is never called (nor is the fault handler called). Viewing the BlazeDS logs in debug mode, the call is received and send back with data. I've narrowed it down to what seems to be a data size issue.
    I have targeted one specific data call that returns in the String value a string length of 44kb, which fails in the release build (result or fault handler never called), but the result handler is called as expected in debug build. When I do not populate the String value (in server side Java code) on the object (just set it empty string), the result handler is then called, and the object is returned (release build).
    The custom object being returned in the call is a very a simple object, with getters/setters for simple types boolean, int, String, and one org.23c.dom.Document type. This same object type is used on other other RemoteObject calls (different data) and works fine (release and debug builds). I originally was returning as a Document, but, just to make sure this wasn't the problem, changed the value to be returned to a String, just to rule out XML/Dom issues in serialization.
    I don't understand 1) why the release build vs. debug build behavior is different for a RemoteObject call, 2) why the calls work in debug build when sending over a somewhat large (but, not unreasonable) amount of data in a String object, but not in release build.
    I have't tried to find out exactly where the failure point in size is, but, not sure that's even relevant, since 44kb isn't an unreasonable size to expect.
    By turning on the Debug mode in BlazeDS, I can see the object and it's attributes being serialized and everything looks good there. The calls are received and processed appropriately in BlazeDS for both debug and release build testing.
    Anyone have an idea on other things to try to debug/resolve this?
    Platform testing is BlazeDS 4, Flashbuilder 4.7, Websphere 8 server, iPhone (iOS 7.1.2). Tried using multiple Flex SDK's 4.12 to the latest 4.13, with no change in behavior.
    Thanks!

    After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
    The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList.  Changing it to List resolved the problem.
    I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid.  And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger.  Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

  • 3g drops every time i access an app that uses internet

    I have a verizon iphone 4, every time i access e-mail, safari browser, twitter, pretty much any app that uses internet 3g seems to just cut out. It comes back pretty much as soon as i quit whatever app i try to use but i cant get anything requireing internet to work unless i connect to wifi, any help would be much appreciated.

    sorry, I misunderstood your question somehow. I thought you were asking about the confirmation screen (not requiring a password) that you get when you first run an application that you got off internet.
    You can't get rid of the password prompts when you install things that require system changes. and that's a very good thing IMO. But you should be able to install most apps without a password if you are using an admin account. only apps that use installers and change some system files require passwords. apps installed by a drag and drop into /Applications don't.

  • Just updated to i0s 5 on my ipad2. Some of the apps that use to be on the ipad are nolonger there. If i go into itunes on my desktop compter they appear there. How do I get them to transferr to my i pad 2?

    just upgraded to ios5 on my ipad2. Some of the apps that use to be on the ipad no longer apperar there. They do appear in i tunes on my desktop computer. How to I transferr them back to my ipad2.

    IOS5 upgrade wipes your iPad disk.  When you re-sync to your computer, you should get all of the apps that are checked under the Apps page in iTunes.

  • Apps that  use SDK

    I'm thinking of buying an iPod Touch and have a few questions.
    A few years ago SDK showed a lot of promise for WiFi only devices.  Do almost all apps that use location use SDK today?
    Is there an app that lets one use the iPod as a navigator (like a Garmin NUVI) using SDK?

    SDK is Software Developer Kit. The iOS SDK shows/developers how to uses stock features/libraries in order to develop apps. It is not confined to location. See:
    https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action
    There are apps that allow using the iPod for navigation. However, since the iPod relies on the location of nearby wifi router that the iPod can see/show in Settings>Wifi, it is not useful unless you are near wifi routers.
