You are correct in that you would need to create your product and get your product approved. However, the product's associated content does not need to be approved. It is my understanding some App store (not necessarily Apple) in the future

When one of my apps was pirated a few years ago, I became extremely interested in iOS security. Based on my knowledge, I can vouch for the accuracy of the article you linked to. The article explains quite well what IAP makes secure and what

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I guess no, we don't have the support for these. To satisfy my curiosity, are there a lot of indy newsstand developers? Wouldn't most newsstand apps be made by larger media companies?

Can you tell me what exactly you need for Newsstand? We support Newsstand pushes; what do you need on top of the newly added in-app purchases?

Officially we should not be commenting on iOS 6 given the non-disclosure nature of the preview. Maybe I can discuss what Parse offers that would be difficult for anyone else (Apple/Google/Amazon) to match: 1. iOS 4, iOS 5 compatibility. Tod

Hi Mattt, in PFQueryTableViewController, the downloading does not start until the scrolling stops. We chose to do this because we wanted the default loading behavior to be very passive. You could verify this is indeed the behavior from the

Just glanced through SDWebImage's source code. Think this is quite similar to AFNetworking's UIImageView category. My comment below should also apply here. In the Parse framework, the equivalent class is PFImageView. We chose to design our

Exactly. To be aggressive in loading is kind of risky since doing it poorly can lead to a non-responsive behavior in the app. App developers can always choose to be more aggressive if the default behavior is not aggressive enough, but if th

Sunsu, thanks for the awesome feedback. We do think this is a great addition. After all, PFQueryTableViewController is about loading data stored on Parse; and if a developer has images stored on Parse, we should be able to load them and dis

Currently, it loads the onscreen images when the scrolling stops (which is a non-aggressive loading behavior). If you wish to be more aggressive about loading the images, i.e. loads the images when the scrolling starts to decelerate, or loa

I have not seen SDWebImage. From what I can recall about AFNetworking (a fantastic library, by the way), it provides a category on UIImageView whose methods can download and display web images. I don't think it provides any help for loading

yep, database indices are created for you automatically. This is one of the details we hope app developer should never worry about.

In particular, I'd like to find out from you what kind of manipulation you have been needing to do. This would help us define the scope of this feature.

Cool. I work there and I have been thinking about server side scripting for a while now. Would love to talk to you more about it; shoot me at my first name at Parse.com -Andrew

What feature can Parse build for you so that you don't need to hook up with Heroku just to manipulate data? Perhaps a way for you to author data manipulation macros in the data browser and the ability to run these macros based on events?
