Can an iPhone app be made to contain another app?

I am not talking about the URL scheme method or the iTunes AppStore linking method. I mean is there a way to enclose an app inside another app and switch between them at will?

Your app can download data. It cannot download another app.
The App Store Review Guidelines specifically forbid downloading executable code.

  • Can iPad/iPhone apps be used on an iMac?

    There is an excellent app called Solar Walk but it is designed to be used on iPads and iPhones.
    Is there any way of using this and similar apps on a normal iMac or must I go out and buy an iPad?

    No.  You cannot run IOS apps on an iMac or any other computer.
    Added later...
    Did you realise there is a "Solar Walk for Mac" available in the Mac App Store.  Is that the same thing as your IOS App?

  • Can compile iphone apps on both the mac and pc with cs5?

    im assuming yes,for both mac and pc versions, but if thats the case, why does apple force people to use mac's (w/ objective c) to have your app in the app store? and why doesnt cs5 have this restriction?

    Even if you are part of Apple Development Program already, and you are on a PC...how do you correctly create the Certificate?
    When you try to generate one Development Provisioning Assistant, everything is geared towards Apple computers.
    From the Apple Site:
    Generate a Certificate Signing Request
    To request an iPhone Development Certificate, you first need to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) utilizing the Keychain Access application in Mac OS X Leopard.
    Launch Keychain Access
    In the Applications folder on your Mac, open the Utilities folder and launch Keychain Access.
    Within the Keychain Access drop down menu, select Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority
    In the Certificate Information window, enter the following information:                               
    In the User Email Address field, enter your email address
    In the Common Name field, create a name for your private key
    (eg. John Doe Dev Key)
    In the Request is group, select the "Saved to disk" option
    Click Continue within Keychain Access to complete the CSR generating process

  • IPhone app from different store

    How can an iPhone app be purchased from a different store?
    Some apps are not available on some countries.

    You can only purchase apps from your country's store. The country restrictions are based on applicable local laws or developer's preferences. To set up an iTunes account in a different country requires you to have a credit card with a billing address in that other country.

  • IPhone Apps Resolution on iPad

    Hello Apple
    i wonder if you can make iPhone Apps run in iPad in 960 X 640..it Would Be Better than 2X

    First, this is a user-to-user discussion and not a direct communication with Apple.
    You are asking for a higher pixel count display...there have been several threads on here after the iPhone4 was released asking for the Retina display on the iPad. Several posters pointed out the power requirement for that kind of pixel count on a display the size of the iPad. You can find some of those threads by using the Search Discussions tool in the upper right corner.
    Maybe as technology progresses we will be blessed with better and better displays for the iPad.

  • I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

    I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

  • The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

    My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
    Sincerely,
    PiPI

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

  • Can't sync apps or music iphone 4S ios_5

    I can't sync apps or music to my 4S.  I had upgraded my 4 to ios5, made a good backup, and tried to restore backup to the 4S.  It says it is syncing (for an hour), but there are no apps on the phone other than built-in apps, and no music or audio content of any kind.  Videos sync, as do contacts and notes.
    I have tried the following:
    Multiple syncs
    delete itunes plist
    delete and reinstall itunes
    repair permissions (Power mac dual g5 2.0Ghz, 10.5.8, all software updated)
    restore iphone 4S from scratch 3 times
    tried the "dual restore" trick at least 6 times
    Bought apps on phone and on computer (this has worked in past for certain itunes errors)
    deauthorize and reauthorize computer for store
    Here's where it gets weird - if I click the "apps" tab then 14GB of apps show up on the summary as loaded on the phone, but they're not.  If I download a previously owned app, the data for the app is already on the iphone (1password pro, angry birds, etc.).  I still can't sync so re-downloading all of the apps is not going to work for me.
    I am at my wit's end - Genius Bar was unable to assist.  Any tips are appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem with the apps.  I can't find the way to make them work on my IPhone 4s. 
    I have also tried:
    Multiple syncs,
    Restoring several times to factory settings and back to different back-ups 
    Plugging the USB cable in a different port,
    Removed data (pictures and videos) to allow more memory space,
    Uninstalling and reinstalling ITunes,
    Deauthorize and reauthorize my computer
    When my phone is plugged in and it's in sync mode, the apps tab on the ITunes is grayed out (meaning that is not getting included).  We have two old 3G iPhone and an IPad that sync from the same computer and they work fine. 
    Please help if you have had any success!
    Thank you!

  • Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    Why can't i see "Find iPhone" App under cellular data so I can turn it on?

    We have cell data plan.
    I have other phones (4s) and can see "Find Phone" App under Cellular Data and can turn on/off.  But the problem phone does not have "Find IPhone" to be able toturn on/off.  I made sure app is running when i go to Cellular Data. I guess the question is why do Apps show up under Cellular Data to be able to turn on/off?  I thought if the app was made for Cellular Data it automatically showed up under Cellular Data.

  • Can I reinstall an iPhone app that was free when I first downloaded it but is paid now, without paying?

    I have deleted it from both my iTunes and iPhone.

    Of course. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can redownload the app for free, because the developer made it paid after you got the app, so now you can download it free of charge. On the phone, go to App Store > Updates > Purchased, and download the app.
    You will only have to pay if the developer decided to make it paid alongside a major update of the app, which is not usual

  • I authorized 2 laptops to my iPhone 5 but one can only sync music while the other can only sync apps!

    I have an iPhone 5 and I have authorized 2 laptops to sync with it.
    The problem is I can only sync apps I have downloaded from one laptop while music from the other laptop. I can't sync music and apps to my iPhone from the same laptop.
    How do I solve this?
    Note: The first laptop I synced with is also shared with my wife's iPhone 4.
    Thanks in advance.

    you can only really sync your phone with one device, well strictly not true but its the better practice.
    first point, be careful here.
    second, plug your iPhone into the first machine and check the settings related to synchronising with 'that' machine.
    then do the same with the second.
    you will find that one is setup to sync apps and the other to sync music. I'd recommend that you go to the one that has your music stored on it, get it to download all of your apps and use this machine as your main machine from now on.
    Using two seperate machines must be confusing and could lead to you suddenly loosing all of you data if you sync completely with one machine that does contain everything you want!

    Restore your iPhone by connecting it to your computer and using iTunes on your computer to restore it.
