mGrunin,
I'm actually in the process of learning iOS development. I really need to build my dev network. Do you use Skype?

Ill post a small update since the thread has been bumped. The travel guide I made linked to earlier in the topic has seen about a constant 60 paid downloads per week since launch. I am currently invested in some print ads in travel magazines hoping to get this number higher and get more exposure but it seems the mobile travel guide niche is way to young for a product to be profitable. It will some day break even and into profit but not for a very long time with out some major exposure.
I also want to point out that while the iPhone version has thousands of downloads (free and paid). The Android version only has 56. Android users are broke pieces of shit and i highly recommend ignoring them if you are making apps.

did about 50 apps, sold them off. knew the game pretty well 6-12 months ago, hopping back in now. if anyone with some level of experience wants to chat, pm me for my skype. also interested in buying peoples code base, licensing, or straight buying your apps.
i made 3 simple iphone apps using phonegap. i only make $1/day off of each from iads. i guess over the course of a year, i'll do okay. each only took a day or two to make.
Bump.
I got an idea for an app yesterday and out of curiosity I want to see if its possible. I've been searching for awhile now and I found some good info but I'm also finding mixed answers so hopefully you guys can help me out with this one.
Example: Could you make an app that the user installs, the app can see all of the other apps the person has on their phone, and recommend other apps to the person based on which ones it finds?
Could this app not just recognize the other apps, but can it automatically pull data from them? Could it pull data from someone's foursquare app and be able to tell what restaurant they had been to that day?
Some of the articles I found show how a certain apps are able to interact with each other, but I'm not sure how much data they can actually pass to each other and also whether you need to create some type of "permission" between app A and app B to do this or if you can just grab data from any app installed on the user's phone.
PS. Can the above be accomplished with an android as well?

I think this is an excellent idea and love it. I would be willing to help back it if you would like. My goal for 2013 is to produce an app a month.
Apple already offers that option. On your iPhone if you go the genius function in the app store it will recommend apps based on the ones you've installed.
The recommendation app was just an example. What I really would like to do is gather data from the other apps the person is using. A better example is if the person uses foursquare and goes to subway for lunch, my app would be able to use that data.
So if chimp installs my app on his phone, my app can see that he went to subway today, and then my app can display information to chimp based off the data it pulled from foursquare.
Make sense?
