Development Apple App Store - Contact details

Hi.
I am a BA student who is writing his paper (Bachelor thesis) on the Apple App Store and its development from the early beginning. Therefore I need some further information. Unfortunately I don't know how to get in touch with anybody from Apple Inc. who is familiar with this topic. That's the reason why I write to this forum, in order to get these information. I would highly appreciate it, if someone could help me.
Many thanks in advance.
regards,
Moe.B

Many, many details are only available when contracts and non-disclosure agreements have been agreed and are kept current.
Asking for those details is asking for those that have them to risk violating their agreements and participation in the store, etc.
If you want to know, sign up and see first hand, but again, NDAs may hamper your desire to talk about them in public.
As for talking with Apple, pls. know that Apple is historically tight-lipped about such details...reason #1 being that it doesn't make good business sense to telegraph future plans or past failures/successes to the competition. Don't expect Apple to open up.
If you want someone to talk, you're going to have to get them off-record, but I wouldn't bet on that being easy I know someone that was at the table in 1996 when Apple tried to get in bed with Tower Records and Muse & their 'Shiner' ANS...well before the App Store...
Good luck.

Apple App Store is used for Account. How to Avoid It? How to Delete All Sharing Preferences?

Every time I go to the Apple App Store, I have intrusion, relentless stalking, piggy back computer usage, ID Theft, Account takeovers, and theft problems on everything including all brands of email accounts. I keep changing the ID and the passwords intermittently, but attacks continue. Erasing or replacing the HD does not remedy the situation either.
As of now, the computer has practically empty; 979.87 GB free out of 1TB. It may have a couple of notes, pdf's, and some bookmarks. It was recently erased and is running on the OS X 10.7.5 to avoid Apple App Store updates to Mavericks, Pages, Keynote, etc. The security was set on everything I could think of to use the internet safely.
Besides surfing the web, I only did a few things. Because Chrome is better recommended, I used Safari to download Firefox, then used Firefox to download Chrome. Safari won't download it directly. I checked Yahoo mail. I used the Apple ID to post a question in the Apple Communities (within 24-48 hours of today). I changed the password to Apple ID in case there was an issue later. (I have to change the password almost 100% of the time because it gets stolen often) I usually erase Firefox because I don't use it. This time I left it there while I worked on other things & erased it later.
After reading some online material, the system started to run slow as though there was too much data or space being taken up. Then I felt that someone or someone was using it at the same time. I disconnected the Ethernet and left an idle screen (it will sleep after a few minutes) because no sharing options remained. All fields are depopulated. All internet connection options were turned off and removed. Only the Ethernet remains. Unfortunately, that Bluetooth button can still be turned "on" and/or "discoverable". I don't know it this will still work with Bluetooth turned off and removed in Sharing. Please clarify that for me.
When I returned, the screen saver was changed. I expected to use a password to get back onto the computer, but no password was needed. I checked the settings and found the password for logging onto an idle & sleeping screen was removed. No one physically changed things around. This was done remotely or through malware.
I checked various system preferences, and found the locks to Sharing was open with some of the components set up for usage (public files, bluetooth, remote apple events, etc.). I tried to change some options, but some items did not move. I tried to lock it but it would not lock. I tried other sys pref screens and found that some of them had been dismantled too.
I tried to open the lock for other changes, but the password to System Preferences was changed.
Is it normal to get a password popup window to LOCK users & groups when it is OPEN? I don't believe you need a password to lock it. Eventually, open locks closed with no chance to immediately reopen it to adjust the preferences (all passwords were changed).
The terminal looks like it was used. No history was found. Reseting Password rejected new passwords. iTunes sharing could not be changed and parental control refused to lock. After waiting an hour or two, was able to lock it. I wonder what it was being used for.
Now that the internet and the network are disconnected (before sending this message), everything is still extremely slow. A single window takes a long time to open. I have no idea what is making it drag and I don't know where to look.
If history is repeating itself, then the computer is set for piracy just like before. Every place I go is watched, all passwords are captured, all files are checked, all email accounts can be stolen, chat and messages are used (email & computer), iTunes will be logged into, other types of accounts are stolen/taken over, and everything I type is read. Any changes will be sabotaged.
I am confident that someone in the Apple Community will have the answers to getting rid of this problem for good. If you don't have all the answers, then perhaps you have good resources and referrals (not speculations or guesses).
I read about apps, software, or devices that either detect or deter this type of problem. What are they and how do they work?
Q- Also, exactly what are the steps to transfer the OS X 10.7.5, Mavericks, and the future Yosemite to a flash drive or disk to avoid future contact with the Apple App Store or using the Apple ID? (external HD's have been sabotaged in the past-via remote or erasing program of some sort)
Q- How to permanently get rid of Messages & Chats
Q- How to permanently remove Dropbox & Public file sharing?
Q- How to permanently remove all sharing options?
Q- Are there other ways to share (codes, commands, etc.) that need be to blocked/fixed/patched? If so, then what are they?
Q- Are computers stalked by IP address? by Network? by computer numbers or codes? or just by traps or their accounts?
Q- Is there a handy, "go to" type of checklist of where to look or what to do when there is a a suspicion of implants in the computer?

My first app in Apple app store & Android Market...

I've been building a large multiscreen app in Air for boating that's quite involved - it's been about 2 years in development. I realized that I had no experience getting apps into the varous app stores so I made a small app and released it to the Apple app store and Android Market. It was accepted in both places within two days.
When you drop an anchor on a boat for an overnight stay, it's very useful to know that the anchor isn't dragging along the sea floor. If it is, it's a bad thing. It needs immediate attention before you end up grounded, tipped over ashore, or worse. Many navigation systems have an anchor alarm but they are often at the helm and away from the sleeping areas. As with most things, your anchor is most apt to drag in the middle of the night when you're asleep since that is the worst possible time it could happen.
DragQueen is an anchor alarm that detects if your anchor is dragging. Running on your phone or tab, it can be seated right next to you while you sleep. If it detects any dragging, an alarm goes off and wakes you since there's almost no question you'll hear it.
Amazingly there have been 3,000 iOS downloads and yet only 400 Android ones. It has 12 reviews on iOS with eleven 5-star ratings and one 4-star. Strangely on Android it has two ratings, a 1- and a 3-star. It doesn't freeze - I fear there is some game playing in the Android world. I have not asked anyone to put up a fake review on iOS. I've gotten dozens of emails of people actually using it on their boat including a couple of people who had the alarm go off and now owe me a beer.
DragQueen is free on both platforms. It was a great learning experience. It took much more time to get it into the stores than to write it (maybe 10 hours of development time versus at least 2 full days learning about the signing, submission process, store processing). I'm looking forward to finishing the more major app for desktop, iOS, Android, PlayBook, and SmartTV. It too will be free.
I did uncover a bug in Air/Android - you can't detect a deactivate when there is a geolocation update loop in process. As a result, you can't turn off the GPS when the user switches out of your app. I submitted the bug in bugbase but there hasn't been any action on it yet.

I have all but given up on the android store, the mindset on there is to never pay for anything. "All apps should be free" is the general mentality of an android market user. At first I thought it was just the attitude of an android user but after having decent success on the Amazon App Store and great success on the NOOK store I just think its the market and the no review system, its hard to get noticed with all the junk apps floating around and all the users expecting everything to be free.
As a side question to the original poster or anyone to whom this may pertain, why do people make quality, ad free apps? I dont get it, whats in it for them other than good vibes from the users? I understand free ad powered apps, and free lite apps but I can never figure out why people will use their talents and time to make an app thats totally free and has no ads? Anyone?

ADF Mobile: Apple App Store: Encryption Registration Number for Sqlite

When submitting apps to Apple App Store, you have to declare whether or not your app uses encryption. This is for export compliance reasons. If you answer Yes, you need to provide an Encryption Registration Number (ERN). I assume that since the Sqlite DB in ADF Mobile is encrypted, I need to answer Yes. I've gotten a lot of differing opinions on this, but I'm looking for a definitive answer from either Apple or Oracle. Has anyone been through this already?
Thanks

Hi, Mike, here is our response on this question. First thank you for your inquiry around Apple AppStore’s Encryption Export question. The exact question from Apple’s iTunesConnect portal is “Have you added or made changes to encryption features since you last uploaded a binary for this product?”. While we will do our best to suggest an answer based on our understanding of the situation, ultimately any answer that relates to an Apple process or website needs to come from Apple.
Our understanding of the question is that it pertains to the functionality or features of the application you developed using Oracle ADF Mobile and Apple iOS SDK, not to the capabilities of the development tools nor the framework. Furthermore, the question focus on changes between previous (there may be none) and current version of the application. Therefore, for the following scenarios:
•     V1– no encrypted database nor secured SSL communication to the backend services.
o     Based on our understanding of the question, the answer would be “No” as you have not added any encryption feature.
•     V2 – adds encrypted local database and/or secured SSL communication to backend service
o     Based on our understanding, the answer would be “Yes” as there are changes in the encryption features
•     V3 – same database encryption and SSL communication as v2.
o     Based on our understanding, the answer would be “No” as there is no change in the encryption features between v2 and v3.
Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Joe Huang

You should talk to the App developer on their website.

Apple app store problems

Trying to set up an iPad to use the Apple App store. For some reason it will not accept the security code on the back of my card. Anyone ever heard of this?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Could be anything from a chargeback, or your card is junk depending on what it is. Using the word debit card isn't realy descriptive, and can many mean many, many different things.

Cannot download Kindle app for my iMacbook Pro from the Apple app store. When I upgraded to 10.10.2 it told me my current app would no longer work. How do I get Kindle back for my laptop?

Just upgraded to iOS 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro (late 2011) and was informed my Kindle app was no longer compatible and would be removed somewhere. When I tried to install a new Kindle app from the Apple App store it appeared to download, but when I tried to open it nothing happened and it does not appear anywhere in my App list. I see there have been problems like this in the past but nobody has reported having a problem for several months. Any cure for this?

iOS is the operating system for iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad. Your Mac runs on OS X. You have installed OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite.
I have the most recent version of the Kindle app for Mac from the Mac App Store (MAS) v. 1.10.6 and it works fine. Look again in the MAS for the Kindle app, does it say Get or Open on the button?
Are you confusing Kindle for Mac with Kindle for iOS. The iOS version won't run on your Mac.

Apple App Store Worst On-Line Store I Have Ever Used

For the first time ever I used the Apple App Store to upgrade my Macbook Pro to OS X Lion, I have only had a Mac for 8 months. I have to say I was surprised and extremely disappointed to find out that it is the worst on-line store I have ever used.
To start with I couldn't find out how to buy Lion, it is the first store I have ever been into that doesn't have a "Buy" or "Add to Cart" button. After twenty minutes of signing on / off, going out / back in, I discovered that if you click on the price it turns into a "Buy" button. Why not put a message on the screen to tell people to do this? I wonder how many customers they have lost who have just given up and gone elsewhere. Surely if the purpose of the site is to sell it should be obvious how you buy.
Having discovered this I thought it would be simple but no, you click on the "Buy" button and nothing happens, eventually over a minute later the "Buy" button changed to say "Installing". At no time did I get a message up saying something like "Please wait while we process your order". The site says follow the instructions, no instructions, no messages about download time, where the download would be located, etc, were given.
After this nothing else happened the only way I knew that the download was happening was that the lights on my router were flashing. I did eventually find that a Lion icon had been put in the dock with a progress bar. When I did find this I then found out that my download was going to take over 26 hours. Don't Apple realise that not everybody lives in towns and cities with superfast broadband. There are lots of people who only have access to normal broadband. The advertising states that there is no need to buy and load CD's. It would be preferable to losing the use of both my PC and Laptop for over 24 hours which is what has effectively happened as using them only extends the download time.
Another sign of poor service is the fact that a receipt was not sent to me until 14 hours after I made the purchase. Most other on-line stores send this out within an hour of the order being placed.
This experience means that I will definitely not be using Apple App Store again, if I can't get the software from an alternative source I will do without. It makes me wonder whether or not it was a good idea to convert from a PC.

Have you looked in your Applications Folder for the App Store.
If it is truly missing and/or deleted... Go here and Download and Install the 10 7 3 Combo Update

This is Safe to do... be sure to Restart your computer after the Install.

Can not update Adobe Reader as it did not come from Apple App Store.

Can not update Adobe Reader or Adobe Lightroom 5 as they did not come through Apple App Store. Note says I selected not to accept apps other than from Apple. Just started backing up new Iphone and Ipad to Macbook Pro. Is there a setting some where that would allow updates?

Yes there is a setting for that. Open system preferences go to the security & privacy sections, click the lock icon and type in your password. Then in the "Allow applications downloaded from: area tick Anywhere.
