Ios 7 kids apps parental gate/permission

Hello!
I'm developing an app for kids for ios and android.
After uploading to appStore, my app was reviewed and i recieved the following message:
Apps primarily intended for use by kids under 13 must get parental permission
or use a parental gate before allowing the user to link out of the app or engage in commerce
How can i add this parental gate to my app?
I saw some examples online (very few) for other developing languages, of a pop-up with a password, but nothing came up for air.
thanks!

We have used a couple of techniques. One is to put up a set of numbers and ask the user to type a sequence of four numbers, which we show as words (the keys are just the numbers). That has been approved in a few apps.
The other technique we used hasn’t been submitted to the app store yet, I don’t think, shows a “parents” button that you have to drag into a corner as indicated by some text that briefly appears when you touch the button.
So, a parental gate can be anything you like, it just has to present a question that is hard to guess what the answer is, you need to be able to read and understand some instructions, and the hope is that very young kids won’t guess what to do.

Parental Gate on DPS ?

We created an app for kids using DPS but Apple rejected it for two reasons. The biggest one is the following:
24.3
We noticed you have designated your app as primarily intended for kids under the age of 13 but it includes links out of the app or engages in commerce without first obtaining parental permission. This is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
Specifically, your app includes In-App Purchases that are not behind a parental gate. To be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, purchases must be behind a parental gate, and the parental gate may not be disabled.
It looks like DPS can't implemet a parental gate to stop kids to buy issues without asking the parents... Is that correct?
I'm attaching the images so you can help me with that..

You are correct, there is not a good way to this in DPS. We spoke with their staff about it, and they stonewalled at introducing a universal solution.
Their stance is that as an enterprise customer you can use a custom storefront to perform the gating where necessary. (And if you're not an enterprise customer, you're presumably SOL.)
That leaves you without a way to gate Kids when they click on a link within a folio without having to have some sort of webview on every page as well.

How do i approve my kids app purchases with family share

how do i approve my kids app purchases with family share on my iphone?

Hello andrewmarkp,
With Family Sharing, you can approve purchases with the Ask To Buy feature. The following article provides helpful information:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Approving purchases with Ask to Buy
You can turn on Ask to Buy to require approval for purchases initiated by any family member who is under 18 years old.*
iOS 8
Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap your family member's name.
Turn on Ask to Buy.
OS X Yosemite
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
Select Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.
If you don't wish to be billed for purchases initiated by a specific adult family member, you can remove that family member from the family group.
*Ages may vary by country or region.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

Is there a way to get a version of the Garage Band app that runs on version 5.1.1? I have an iPad 1 and can't get any higher iOS. The App store is telling me that Garage Band only runs on iOS 7.

Unfortunately the answer is still no.

Ios 6 music app on ios 7 (to fix genre issue)

I am no longer able to drill down from genre to artists songs in the genre and their albums with songs in that genre. Apple has told me that is by design. So I have lost that ability and some others here have said the same thing.
Is there a way to find and use the ios 6 music app under ios 7 somehow? Else, I need to find a 3rd party app that will play the existing music (I don't want to download anything outside of itunes) and allow me to drill down from genre as ios 6's music app allowed me to do.
Any suggestions (incl. possible apps if I can't use ios 6 music app)?

I use, by the way, the windows app Tag & Rename. Have been using it for years and highly recommend it if you are on the windows platform. In order to get things to work properly I had to change tags in two ways for ios 7: (1) copy all my artist fields to album artists fields and (2) (unfortunately) pull out the data in the year field (which I moved to the comment field) since ios 7 now sorts by the year field as well.
That got the ios 7 music player to final list the stuff properly - at least as I drilled down from genre. Still, the interface was at a minimum "wanting". I found an inexpensive (not free) app - I think it was something like $3.99. It was written and supported by two programmers - a 18 and 21 year old. Still the interface is relatively clean and the gestures once learned make things easy to find out and change with a single finger - check it out: "Ecoute". It does the job for me much better then ios 7's.
My only complaint is since I do not have album art or any other art associated with music as I am a composer and write my own material - I end up with 5 rows and 3 columns of icons with default icons. But even that has an 'option' as you can get a textual list by taping on the top. If you are at genres and the artist is showing, tapping on the top will list all the tracks in alphabetical order with times for that artist. If the albums are showing in the screen - tapping on the artist on the top will display all the tracks in alphabetical order with a line below them describing the album name. And when you tap just on the album icon, you get just a list of the tracks.
Some other cool tapping and swiping actions.... easy to learn...

I have an iPad mini, 16GB, running on the 7.1.2 iOS system, my App Store icon is no longer on my home screen and neither is my iTunes Store icon. They are listed in my settings but I can't access any unless through other games, or songs on iPad.

I Have an iPad mini operating on 7.1.2 iOS. My App Store icon as well as my iTunes Store icon are missing from my home scree. They are still listed under my settings, but I can't access them unless it's through an app that already exists. Where can I go to reinstall these? I use the same Apple ID on my iPhone 5c as well and they are on the iPhone, but I don't know how or why they just disappeared from my iPad and want to know how to get them back without having to reset my iPad and lose what I have on it. Thanks, Karla

Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

IOS 8 Photos App - Events Album Sort Order is Screwed

Hi,
When I sync my photos (that are grouped into Events) from my Mac iPhoto Library, to my iPhone and view them in the iOS 8 Photos App, all the events are no longer sorted in order - they used to be sorted chronologically in 7.1.
To try and find the event photos that you are looking for is now impossible.
Does any one known how to fix this or is it a regression bug that they have introduced with iOS 8?
Rgds
Gary

This is such a cluster-f*ck. I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto. Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is. This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority. Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this.
What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto. I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this. Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword. I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad.
Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

Can't delete iTunes Match music from Music app in iOS 6 Music app?!

Totally insane - the ability to delete music downloaded from iTunes match has been removed from the iOS 6 Music app! No more "swipe left and delete". I can't find any way to delete music, in fact. Can someone please tell me this is a massive mistake that will quickly be fixed. How did this make it through to the final release?!

The topic has been discussed in-depth on this forum.
Apple change the way iTM works in iOS 6 to no longer allow downloading or deleting of individual tracks with iTunes Match enabled. To delete individual tracks iTM must first be disabled; to delete all downloaded music from the iOS device go to settings > general > usage, tap Music then swipe All Music and tap delete.

WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark.

WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

After updating to iOS 6 the App store is in Korean instead of English.

After updating to iOS 6 the App store is in Korean instead of English. How do I get it back to English? I understand the reason that it may be in Korean because I am living in South Korea right now. But I have all of my settings set to English only. So why is the App store in Korean? The App store is the only app that is in Korean. I have add this account in English the entire time I've been here with no issues until I updated it.

Never mind, I sorted it myself. I just had to go into my iTunes account settings and that automatically redirected me.

IOS 5 Photo App chrashes.

iOS 5 Photo App chrashes.
What can I do now.
I also restored the iPhone.
Please help me !!!

Wish I had an answer... I may be having the same problem. A few weeks after installing iOS 5, I started noticing that the pictures I was taking were looking really pixelated and bad. Thought something was wrong with the camera. Then some photos started disappearing, replaced with either blackness or a fuzzy-looking gray photo frame. Then the ap started to freeze while scrolling. Then my albums started to shuffle the order around. Now some albums just disappear temporarily. I'm still able to sync photos to my Mac, but I just erase them from my phone, because they're useless there now.
Is this similar to what you've been experiencing?

Cannot add more than one reminder, add new list, to reminder app in iOS 7.1, app crashes a lot

Default iOS reminder app: Cannot add more than one reminder, cannot add new list, after updating to iOS 7.1. The app crashes frequently on editing or just by pressing return..

Hello Kyem22,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Reminders app quitting unexpectedly.
The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching all the applications on your iPad:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting all the apps, I recommend restarting your iPad and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full article here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPad. The Reminders app is not something that can individually be reinstalled, but backing up your iPhone and restoring the iOS software will reinstall the application:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
