I run a website that allows you to hire a journalist anywhere in the world, and we have correspondents in 150 countries. It's hosted on App Engine, and occasionally we get a journalists emailing us to say that our site is not available from where they are. The specific error is:
Your client does not have permission to get URL xxx from this server.
(Client IP address: x.x.x.x)
We're sorry, but this service is not available in your country. That’s
all we know.
The locations we have identified so far are: Cuba and Crimea.
I can't find a complete list anywhere, but I really need one. Any suggestions?
There is not an official list. I would recommend using this list until one specifically for App Engine is created.
Google restricts access to some of its business services in certain countries or regions, such as Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
I can't find it.
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/pricing talks about it but doesn't say where.
This one says it's in the billing section, but the billing section lists my billing accounts and inside an account I can't find it either.
Using the new console, you can change your billing from your App Engine settings:
https://console.developers.google.com/project/your-app-id/appengine/settings
Make sure you've linked your project to a billing account. To do this, head over to your project-level settings:
https://console.developers.google.com/project/your-app-id/settings
If that still doesn't work, try the old console:
https://appengine.google.com/billing/billing_status?&app_id=s~your-app-id.
You must prepend the "s~" to your App ID in the old console URL if your app uses High Replication Datastore (very likely).
I am using the new hosted content option in iOS6.
My question is - Does Apple charge the user even if the download fails ?
Or in other words do I need to let the user repurchase the product or just download it again ?
Thanks

First, the user is charged for the purchase and afterwards, he can download your hosted content.
I have created a pass id in the provisioning profile, generated the certificate and private key, and our server code can generate passes. However I cannot figure out how to make the project entitlements work with passkit. How do you associate a pass id with your app id or bundle id or something? XCode shows the option "Use pass type identifiers from the provisioning profile". Yet it doesn't appear to be anything in the portal to connect a profile with a pass id.
I can run things in debug on my local device, but how without the entitlements I can't distribute this to anyone.
Clearly I am missing some magic and all the docs talk about is building passes and using them, but nothing about building entitlements. Any ideas?
Apparently the answer is, nothing. The Xcode user interface is confusing but apparently you don't have to do anything to support any pass id that your organization created. Passes are unique to your developer account, not any specific of your apps.
For once I wish Apple would actually document new features in the XCode UI.
I'm working on a service that needs to be able to read items from users' calendars. It needs to work whether the user is using Google Calendar, Exchange, Hotmail/Live, iCal, etc...
I want to do this (effectively):
calendar = Login(emailaddress, password); // Works for #hotmail.com, #gmail.com...
// For every item in the users' calendar extract the location of the meeting
for each (item in calendar)
location = item.Location;
I figure someone must have built some code that abstracts away the varied ways you login to these services and access the objects. But I haven't found anything yet. Any pointers would be appreciated. I don't really care what it's written in (Ruby, Python, C#, Java) as long as I can wrap it.
UPDATE: I've been able to get something working against the Google Calendar using the Google Calendar API. In the process I came across CalDAV and the fact that Google, Yahoo, and Apple support it. I'm going to focus on CalDAV for now, and then probably plumb in Hotmail/Live and Exchange later. I really only need the calendar event times and location so this should not be too challenging.
UPDATE 2: I have discovered DDay.iCal. I'd like to use this as my top level abstraction within my app. But I still have not found anything that will help me connect to, and interact with each of the popular mail systems. Nor have I found any code that shows how to layer DDay.ICal over CalDAV (which, theoretically, would give me Google, Yahoo, and Apple). Anyone?
There is a calendar REST API for Hotmail which is available in beta form as part of the developer preview of the Live SDK. This is also a beta interactive SDK for the REST API which you can try out at http://beta.isdk.dev.live.com. Just try out the query "/me/calendars"
