Can iOS app run as daemon and access iPhone functions?

I wanted to make an app that stays in the background at all times such that it can send SMS messages at scheduled times. I've tried other apps to do this, but they all use a third party server to send the messages. What I want is for the phone itself to send the message(s) on a pre determined/user defined schedule.
If this is possible with the iOS SDK, then I'm going to start learning iOS development from scratch. If it's something that cannot be done, then I won't bother.

It can't be done with an App that Apple will approve.

    Yes. You can define alternate locations in teh application manager. just be aware that some components will always end up on your system root drive no matter what.

    Can IOS apps be viewed on iMac

    iOS apps will not run on a Mac. You may store backup copies of the the apps in the iTunes content libraries by syncing your iOS devices with the Mac. You can see what apps are in the content library from within the iTunes app, as well as, update the apps when available.

    Can I install/run FCP 7 and/or adobe CS4/5/6 on apple mac mini MD388HN-A as it has INtel HD 4000 Graphics?

    If you want to run Adobe apps, make sure you have the maximum RAM and plenty of available hard disk space. Given the typical internal drive sizes of the Mini, this would mean investing in one or two large external drives. Photoshop and InDesign only work well if there is a very large chunk of space available as a scratch disk. Some recommend dedicating a drive just for scratch space, if you are working with large, complex Photoshop files or large InDesign projects.

  • Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

    Can Numbs app for iPad be used for iPhone and iMac?

    I assume that you mean Numbers, in which case the iPad version can be used on the iPhone (if you've got the current version of Numbers then you will need iOS 5 on your iPhone). It can't be used on your iMac as that is a different operating system, you will need the Mac OS X version for that - but you can use spreadsheets created in Numbers on the iPad in Numbers on the Mac and vice versa.

    Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account.  Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices.  You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

  • Can Gifted apps be downloaded directly on the iPhone?

    Can gifted apps be downloaded directly to the iPhone, or do they have to be downloaded and synced through itunes?

    The recipient of a gifted app receives a Redeem Now email which contains the code. If you are reading the email on your iPhone all you have to do is tap the Redeem Now link and the app is downloaded and installed on the spot.

    hello apple community i had just updated my iphone 4 to the newest ios version 7.0.6 and my iphone is getting no reception i don't know what to do please help me !!!!!!

    Hi Shohambox,
    Please the first thing you should do is to restart your device. Go the sleep wake button and hold down on it for 4-5 seconds waiting for the 'slide to shut off' message to appear. Once the device is turned off go ahead and restart the device. If this does not resolve the issue then go to the area on the front of your device to the app that reads 'settings' from settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Clicking on reset network settings will not erase any data only will reset the network settings apart of your iphone., Once the reset has completed you will then need to go back to settings to wi/fi and plug in the name and password of your wi/fi prior to using it.
    Good luck, Friend.

    not sure if this is a permanent fix but, ever since upgrading to itunes 11.3.1, my iphone5 seems to finish syncing on its own, now. didn't seem to be a problem anymore. at least after doing only one sync, since the upgrade.
    (stiil have a blank "purchased" page at itunes store, though).

  • Can my colleagues access my itunes account and all of the apps in there from their own pcs? What we really need is a shared itunes account so that anyone in the office can add apps to the account and everyone else will be able to access it?

    I have an itunes account to update the office ipad. Now we have more of them can my colleagues access my itunes account including the apps to update their ipads with? it seems silly for everyone to have a seperate account and purchase apps that i have already bought.  We just want to share and update one account that everyone can use and access from their own pc.

    Unless I am missing the point here - or in the event that there are different terms and conditions for the use of iPad in the Enterprise with regard to iTunes purchases - once you have purchased an app - you are free to download that app again - at no charge - to as many iDevices as you desire - as long as you are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account that you used to make the original purchase.
    So the short answer to the question - IMHO - is Yes! My wife, my daughter and I share one iTunes account and we download apps onto four different iDevices - and only pay for the apps once. The purchases are tied to the Apple/iTunes account and not to the PC or the iDevice.
    The only caveat to this point is - I have no idea how Apple handles purchase for businesses meaning that I don't know if businesses are subject to the same terms and conditions as we "everyday" users.
    Maybe the company could set up one iTunes account and you could all share from there but I still don't see why this can't be done. However, that is why I suggest that this question might be better served being posted in the iPad in the Enterprise section of the ASC.

  • Native function in iOS to save a pdf and access a pdf off the network?

    Hi,
    My camera didn't ship with a manual inside. I'd like to be able to download the pdf version of the manual from the camera website and save it to my iOS for future reference when i am possibly off wireless network. Any ideas how I can do that without downloading an app? Does the Apple iOS have any built-in functionality to accomplish this?  I have heard the Andriod OS has a built-in PDF viewer.
    Thanks for your help community!

    You can save the file in iBooks. This keeps it on the phone and you can view it in iBooks. That is a native iOS app.

  • App running on weblogic and opensso,agent running on glassfish

    I am running glassfish v2.1 application server where OpenSSO and Policy Agent apps running on two different domains.
    My app which needs to use federation services is running on weblogic 8 application server.
    After installing opensso and agent softwares, when I was setting up the mini-agentapp app for testing purpose, it says the app which needs to protected by policy agent needs to be under same domain as the agent is installed.
    How does work or does it even work the app being in different server(weblogic) than the Policy agent server (glassfish).
    Please advise?

    You need to install an agent on weblogic as well.
