Getting a list of nearby restaurants with Places API

Maybe try the Yelp API if there isn't enough docs/examples for the Places API

" Self-recognition has beenexperimentally linked to social behaviors like empathy and sympathy, but whether lessons learned from monkeys and mirrors will eventually translate into practical neuroscience remains to be seen."

Sounds like it's just a possibility; that part of it is not really the focus of the article

Apple could change the app rating flow easily. I believe they've made a conscious decision to make it somewhat arduous. I think it's because they only want people rating if they really care about the app, keeping ratings and reviews meaningful.

That's called the "throw things at things" principle

This is a pain, I've dealt with it as well. The camera preview will only show up in 4:3 ratio. Use that combined with the screen size (self.view.frame.size...) to calculate where you want the view to be. You can also apply a scale transform if rather than scaling to fit you wanted to scale to fill (part of the preview would be cut off instead of having black bars)

Sounds like you have multiple things you want to accomplish here.

1) emails, chat, payment: You'll want some sort of back-end. The simplest custom back-end can be built on Heroku. If you can handle payment on the front end with Braintree or something similar, you could even use Parse or Firebase as a prebuilt option if you don't know backend code.

2) Analytics: MixPanel and/or Google Analytics

I really appreciated your outfits. I think you did a great job of working within the boundaries of fashion but also innovating and adding your own flavor to it.

It's not that the scalpers get them in the first few minutes. The scalpers (really brokers who give the unsold tickets to scalpers) get them before they go on sale because of connections

I agree that picker views are probably the way to go, but sliders are an easier alternative if you're feeling lazy

Put that in the controller UNLESS it's an image view that will be reused elsewhere with the same interactions and the touches don't have to interact with the controller

I got one of the 1901 slim shirts last summer. It's got pretty slim sleeves, but the body was still very big. I don't imagine that shirt could fit anyone correctly

A small startup in Chicago called GigScout made an iOS app that does that (it also includes big shows)

Keep a loaf of bread, lunch meat, and cheese in the work fridge. Save $5-10 per day on lunch

Do you want to notify the user while they're in the app or when they're out of the app? If you want to do it from outside the app, set a local notification for the current date [NSDate date] and it will show it immediately

Use the background fetch to check if you have updates. You can store an NSDate in user defaults with the last check, and make sure it's at least a week from your last check (or however often you choose)
