How are the third party apps for the iPhone?

Being a long time Palm user, then moved to BlackBerry I watched the quality of third party apps really plummet due to a more restrictive development agreement.
Now considering an iPhone, I'm curious about how healthy the 3rd party app community is for iPhone, something I miss from my Palm days. From what I've heard, the development for iPhone applications is even more restrictive than for BlackBerries.
Anyone that wouldn't mind addressing one or all of these questions for me from their own experience, would be greatly appreciated.
1) Do you use third party applications on your iPhone, or do you find the native Apple software to be sufficient?
2) Are there alot of different choices for utilities, or do you find yourself pigeonholed to 1-2 programs.
3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
Again thanks for anyone that chooses to help me with this. I was really disappointed with the apps available for the Blackberry. At $15-$25 dollars each, I was usually let down by the quality and selection and overall experience.

The native software is excellent and I also have apps to fill in for things not available as part of the out of the box iPhone.

If you go to the app store and browse, you'll find lots of different utilities. In some cases, there are a dozen different options that do the same basic thing and in other cases there are a couple.
3) Would you say that the third party apps are "mature" that is stable, follow similar flow/integration with the phone and designed in an intuitive way?
Some apps are well done and others aren't. Since they are developed independently, there is variability. The apps I use most frequently seem pretty stable. It all depends on your needs.

  • Access to my Office 365 third-party app for external user : "a User account is not registered for the account"

    In my third-party web application of Office 365, I want to have access to the contacts, events and emails of all the users from the organizations who installed my app. The thing is I don't want that all these users have to grant me access, I just want one
    admin of the org to grant access for my app and then be able to retrieve the data I need for all the users.
    To test for one organization, I logged in as the admin and proceed to the Oauth2 authentication to retrieve the access token and in the first request (the GET one to retrieve an authorization code) i add the parameter
    prompt=admin_consent.
    With this access token, I can access the data (emails, contact, event) of the admin
    for instance for the contacts
    uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(adminemail)/Contacts
    but not the data of the other users of this org with this uri
    uri: https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Users(useremail)/Contacts
    The only thing I can do is retrieve an access token for each user but it supposed that each user has to authorize the access to the app but it's very cumbersome. So, i don't see what enables the parameter prompt=admin_consent and how to use it. Does anybody
    know what it does?
    And my question is: how can I do to access the data of all the users of one organization when the access has been granted by one admin?
    Thank you!

    You are sending the OAuth request to a tenant specific endpoint of Azure AD. Note the {key_provided} part of your Url - that part represents the tenantid or a registered domain name of an Azure AD tenant. Azure AD throws this error is the user signing in
    is not a user in that tenant.
    Multi-tenant applications like yours have two options:
    Perform home realm discovery yourself and send the SSO request to the correct tenant-specific endpoint of Azure AD: when a new Azure AD organization signs-up for your application, record its tenant ID, and registered domain names. On your login page, ask
    the user for their email and try to discover what Org they belong to using the suffix the email.
    Use the common endpoint of Azure AD. Instead of the {key_provided} part of the URL, use 'common'. In this case Azure AD will determine the user's tenant and sign-in the user. The token that your application will receive will still be from the user's tenant
    (iss claim).
    2 is more convenient for apps. However #1 has an advantage when the user's Organization has customized their sign-in page with the company logo etc - in the case of #1 the user will directly be taken to the customized and familiar sign-in page.
    I recommend a combination of the two: try determining the user's organization and sending them to the tenant specific SSO endpoint. If you're not able to - send them to the common endpoint.

    This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact

    I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
    I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
    I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
    Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together.  Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
    The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
    One thing I found last week and meant to mention:  After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

    You find third-party apps in the App Store. What app are you looking for? Due to problems, Apple removed the ability to record that information in Health. You can always go back to whatever you used before three weeks Health was released. Why can you not check and record your blood glucose? I would assume you check it using blood samples and a glucose meter which has nothing to do with your phone. You should be able to record it in any number of apps, from Notes to purpose made third-party apps.

  • Developing Third Party Connectors for the Universal Worklist

    Hi,
    We need to develop a third party connector for the Universal worklist.
    In order to retrieve the workflow items we want to use a web service that will be developed according our needs.
    The documentation that I found regarding the UWL states that in terms of connectivity we can use Web based protocols such as HTTP and Web Services, but i couldn't find any example for this, besides the SONIC.
    Has someone already developed a third party connector? Examples?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Marlis,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you view the app in the iTunes Store by selecting "View in iTunes" in the link below, under the Information pane you can indicate whether the app is able to be shared via Family Sharing.  For the app you are asking about, it does appear Family Sharing is enabled for it.

  • What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    There are several things to consider.  For instance many GPS apps download maps on the fly.  If you don't have an unlimited cellular data plan this can use a lot of your data allotment.  Other apps like Tom Tom and CoPilot Live save all the maps on the device.  The maps will take up a lot of memory on your iPhone.  I use CoPilot Live Premium and the maps take up about 2GB of memory. 
    Then there is a matter of cost.  Most apps that download maps on the fly are free or a very low cost.  The ones that store the maps on the iPhone generally cost more.
    I use Copilot Live Premium HD US because it gives me all the features I need for a relatively low cost, about $20 USD.

  • How to use the third party apps?

    I see Apple has put some third party apps on their site, but how do you download them and use them for itouch?

    I think you are talking about WebApps?(http://www.apple.com/webapps/). If you are they cannot be downloaded, but can be bookmarked to your homescreen if you purchased the update. If you didn't purchase the update they can be added to your Bookmark section. To access them you will need an internet connection.

    1) create a 2 material as non valuated (one incoming material "A1"& after processed material"B1")
    2) create a BOM. for A1
    & assign the B1 and maintain respective conversion
    3) create a routing for A1 and assign the relevant work center
    4) create a manual PO to receive the material from customer and store it in storage location
    5) create a production order and release the order  in co01
    6)issue the material :B1 to the order 9 in MB1a, 261 movement)

  • Capturing third party manufacturer for the batch

    Hi ,
    we are in the business of Pharma Products trading and marketing , as per business requirement we need to capture third party manufacturer for particular batch.
    The scenario is as follows -
    Our Company - Raise PO to Vendor A for Material  Mat001 -  this vendor A takes same product from any of his own vendors  X, Y , Z .( third party manufacturer)
    Now the requirement is when we receive goods from Vendor A for MAT001 , it may have multiple batches and these batches may come from one or different sub vendor of A .  During GR we need to capture this sub vendor of Vendor A or say third party manufacturer .
    Please provide possible solution
    Edited by: Bhushan Bivalkar on Jun 4, 2010 11:06 AM

    You can use batch characteristics. Make a class (type 023) and assign a characteristic to it (with approprite description).
    Assign this class in the material classification view.
    Now you can maintain the 3rd vendor's batch number in the batch characteristic (in MSC2N)
