Facebook from contacts launching another app in. iOS 6

Having updated to iOS 6 I updated my contacts from Facebook. However in the contact card if I touch the Facebook entry I do not get directed to Facebook, instead it launches the Premier Inn app. Any ideas?

You are not alone!! I have exactly the same issue. Been in contact with apple support since last week, their engineers are looking into it apparently, be interesting to see what the outcome is. At present they say they cannot recreate this at apple, this seems strange as I tried by restoring phone with clean ios6 and just facebook and premier inn app on the phone. Still happens!! Glad someone else has the same issue as me, look forward to apple's fix!!

Launch another app

how to launch another app without url scheme?

so, how to launch app not allowed url scheme from my app?
thank you...

How do I open files from a Facebook group in another app in iOS 7.1.1?

As the questions says, I need to open a .docx from a Facebook group in an app that will allow me to edit the document. Ia writer, Evernote, word or something similar. When I open the document in Facebook, it is a read-only version, and I can't figure out how to somehow export it.

I've experimented a bit, and it is possible to log in to Facebook from Safari and open a document with an editor like word, pages or Evernote. It just seems like a very insufficient and not very elegant solution to have to log in through safari every time I want to edit a document on my iPad.

How to unlink facebook from Contact

I've accidentally linked the wrong Facebook profile to the wrong contact via the Social app. How do I unlink it? As far as I know, there is a chain icon for the Lumia and HTC phones. I'm on Belle but it seems that there is no such option from the latest OS from Nokia. The lack of full social integration (and I mean being able to not only add but remove contacts from social networks to/from my personal contact list) is kind of surprising. Other modern OS out there can do it, I don't see why Belle has to be the odd one out, again.

I just get Nokia Social app updated to v1.5.215 in firmware Symbian Belle 111.030.0609 in my Nokia N8.It looks like after Social app updated, it will auto link facebook profile to contact in N8
when first time click refresh at the Social main menu.
It's able to remove facebook link from contact.
First enable your internet connection first, either WiFi / mobile data.
Open contact & search the particular contract to display it.
Click option>Manage links, this will auto lauch Nokia Social app.
Now you can click option (right bottom button)> Remove profile.
Hope this helps you.

Launch another app from Siena app

As it's not possible to launch a map in Siena, I'm hoping that I can pass an address out of Siena to the native Maps app in Windows 8. Is that possible? I can't find any documentation on how to open other apps from my app.

Nice,
Now we can launch browser, Skype, bing maps
Sidenote: You need then to be sure that the user has the map app (or Skype) installed and all associations are correct. So at least best to write it in the prerequisites when moving to the app store.
If you just want to add maps, you can also insert them directly in the app as static maps. I've explained that in
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/45b2ffe3-4d57-4b4c-94a4-75d299a03e62/how-to-add-a-bing-map-with-pins-to-a-siena-project?forum=projectsiena
The interactive nature is not present of course
Or you could use the static google map api

Want to use pushViewController and segues from UINavigationController in AIR app on iOS

Ok, this might be a long shot, but here goes.
My iOS AIR app includes a bunch of native screens defined in a storyboard. I have them included by putting them into a native (static) framework, including that framework in an ANE, and adding code to instantiate and add the various ViewControllers to the screen.
I can add a ViewController as a child and get its view to show on the screen with the following obj-c code in my ANE:
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController] addChildViewController:controller];
[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController].view addSubview:controller.view];
[controller didMoveToParentViewController:[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] rootViewController]];
However, some of the views have child views that use segues and the push stack from UINavigationController. When these screens try to load, I get the following error:
Apr 21 13:50:43 raspberry LKW_Smash[7703] <Error>: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Could not find a navigation controller for segue 'MemberOptionsSegue'. Push segues can only be used when the source controller is managed by an instance of UINavigationController.'
So I attempted to get access to the app's UIViewController, and push the new ViewController onto the stack with the following code:
[root.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
But root.navigationController is nil! It looks like the app doesn't have one!
So after all that, my question is this: How do I create an AIR app that includes a UINavigationController and is not simply just a single-view app?

Sync the contacts on your Mac with Google Contacts as well... There is no need to involve iCloud.
Perhaps you should take a look at Google's help pages.

Does opening an image from iPhoto in another app double the file size?

I'm told (the usually unreliable sources;-) that when you open an image from iPhoto on an iPad into another appson the iPad, Photo Manager Pro for example, it actually duplicates the image: in effect doubling the file space taken up on the iMac. For example, if you had 10, 10 MB images in iPhoto on your iPad, and you opened them to the Photo Manager, it makes a copy, I'm told. If that is correct, you'd now have 20, 10MB images on your iPad; and if you opened those in a image editor on your iPad, you'd now have 30, 10 MB images! Is this correct?
If so, pretty soon all the storage space would be taken up?
Is that true, and if so, what's the workaround?
Thanks

Not necesarilly, the app will portray the photo from your library, not make a duplicate.
Hope this helps.

My photos will not sync from computer to photo app under ios 6

I can't synch photos from my windows computer to the photo application. i updated to the podcast app, removed it and managed to get music & podcasts back into the music folder but since then I haven't been able to get photos onto my ipod. I have the folder where they are and have chosen it to sync to my ipod but it just doesn't transfer the photos. Thanks.

Have you tried here:

Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip--> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
Somebody, please help!

Phil, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism. That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7. Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator. I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed. Jon

HT1222 i have an iphone 4.3.5 but cannot download facebook from the the itunes app - a message says requires ios5.0

Friends tell me to update software from iphone settings - but I don't have the option on my phone !!

Some models can only be updated to certain versions.
- https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do. This will show the make and model of the device. To find your serial number on an iOS device, simply tap settings / general / about - and you should see your serial number of your device.
If you iPhone can be updated, you would need to connect it to a computer via a USB cable, and then update it through the applications iTunes. If your computer does not have iTunes installed on it, you would need to install it first.

Also there is a great web site that has all the video tutorials for iTunes - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/music/itunes.html

After going from firefox to another app. such as mail, I can't go to the dock and re-open my home page. The bar says firefox, but the previous app is on screen and douple-clicking the icon in the dock does nothing.

Problem seems to have started today after alothome.com hijacked my home page and I had to re-select original homepage as default.

I went to add-ons manager and removed ALOT and the problem went away. Post office recommended using ALOT to track a package but it screws up firefox.
Problem solved.

Cannot launch another application in Mac OS X 10.8 using NSWorkspace launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error

I am launching another app using NSWorkspace launchApplicationAtURL:options:configuration:error.
The app is owned by root, has permission: rwx r-x r-x, and owned by root:wheel.
The app is also located in /Applications folder (e.g. /Application/MyApp.app).
According to the following link under the "Launching Helpers with Launch Services" section:http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Security/Conceptual/AppSan dboxDesignGuide/AppSandboxInDepth/AppSandboxInDepth.html
I should be able to launch my app because the following condition is met:
The app is installed in /Applications and the app bundle and all contents are owned by root.
When launching the app, I get the following error:
"The application “MyApp” could not be launched because it is corrupt."
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10827.)"
Which is, according to the same link, the error when none of the conditions have been met.
Note that I am using Mac OS X 10.8. In Mac OS X 10.7.5, I don't encounter the same issue.
Note also that I am trying to run the app "MyApp" inside a sandboxed application.
I tried using 2 builds of "MyApp", but in both builds, the issue can be replicated:
Code-signed (using a self-signed certificate)
Not code-signed
What seems to be the problem? Am I missing something?

Yes, but it also says in the apple documentation that:
A sandboxed app is allowed to launch a helper using Launch Services if at least one of these conditions has been met
Even if I did not pass the condition:
Both the app and helper pass the Gatekeeper assessment. By default that means both are signed by the Mac App Store or with a Developer ID.
I am pretty sure that the following condition has been met:
The app is installed in /Applications and the app bundle and all contents are owned by root.

Launching another iOS AIR app from iOS AIR App

Hi
Ideally we would like to be able to launch another AIR iOS from our AIR iOS. Is it possible to do this with AIR? I understand you can do it natively. We would also need to pass a few parameters: such as authentication ID and a URL.
Potentially we need to be able to do this in Android too.
Thanks
Ben

Yes. you can have following chunk in your infoAdditions
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
   <array>
    <dict>
     <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
     <array>
      <string>appA</string>
     </array>
    </dict>
   </array>
then from another AIR iOS application you can call navigateToURL("appA://thisDataWillBeReceivedByAppA")
I have written an Article which lets AIR iOS applications implement Facebook Single Sign-On It uses the same techniques. You can follow http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/10/facebook-single-sign-on-for-air-ios.html for more details.

TS3804 "io6" I am unable to save a photo from another app (for example FACEBOOK) to the Camera Roll. I press & hold the photo, the window indicates "Save Photo" comes up, I press that option & the window goes away but the photo is not in Camera Roll.

IPHONE 4 + "io6". I am unable to save a photo from another app (for example FACEBOOK) to the Camera Roll. I press & hold photo, window indicates "Save Photo" comes up, I press that option & the window goes away but the photo is not in Camera Roll. Please advice...

No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
When launched normally the icons have no colors.
Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

another experiment.
When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
Reasons for color are;
* An old version
* An add-on by way of a Theme
* The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows
