I know this question has been asked so many times. The answers say that this is not available in Xcode > 5.x. but I saw some apps that can use this(Go to Settings)(iOS7). Is there any way to do this? Is it available in Xcode 6? Facebook can detect both cellular data and wifi . BalestraPatrick As of iOS 8, it's possible to launch the Settings app that directly opens your Privacy app section in this way: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString]]; In Swift: if let settingsURL = NSURL(string: UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) {

Assume that the scheme for a uri is "file". Also assume that the path starts with '.' An example path is './.bashrc'. How would the fulluri look? 'file://./.bashrc' appears odd to me. In short, a file URL takes the form of: file://localhost/absolute/path/to/file [ok] or you can omit the host (but not the slash): file:///absolute/path/to/file [ok] but not this: file://file_at_current_dir [no way] nor this: file://./file_at_current_dir [no way] I just confirmed that via Python's urllib2.urlopen() More detail from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme : "file:///foo.txt" is okay, while

I have a question related to REST url design. I found some relevant posts here: Different RESTful representations of the same resource and here: RESTful url to GET resource by different fields but the responses are not quite clear on what the best practices are and why. Here's an example. I have REST urls for representing "users" resource. I can GET a user with an id or with an email address but the URL representation remains the same for both. Going through a lot of blogs and books I see that people have been doing this in many different ways. For example read this practice in a book and

Is it possible to open native iOS app, e.g. calendar or notes, from an HTML link which is in website? I tried to find an example but I couldn't. I ran into these URL schemes but I don't know how to use them and what's the URL scheme for calendar or notes. Is it possible just to do something like this: <a href="calendar://something here?">Click me!</a> Is it possible to do it only with HTML or is JavaScript needed? If you're looking for the URL Schema, iPhone Calendar is: CALSHOW: Yes you can very well possible to do that. You're right in placing the link like this: <a href="calendar://">Click

Much like the "mailto" URL prefix launches the user's default mail program and starts a new email with specified address, is there a similar URL scheme that would initiate a phone call? Perhaps "phone," "call," or "sip"? Incidentally, I'm targeting a platform that is using Cisco CUPS, so there may be a platform-specific way for me to initiate a call that is particular to Cisco, but I thought I'd ask the more general question first. However if anyone knows specifically how to programmatically initiate a call via CUPS, that would be great too. The official standard for providing a telephone
