Allow app analytics opt-out?

Given that mobile app analytics reporting can cost a customer data traffic that, unlike a web app, use of the mobile app may otherwise not require, should a mobile app provide a user accessible setting to allow customers to opt out of app analytics collection or reporting?

Should I create specific classes for JSON Objects or only use the container(Array/Dictionary) for accessing Data?

I’m using Foursquare to get a List of Restaurants nearby inside an iOS app. The Result is stored in an Array which consists of Dictionaries and regarding how deep the Data is, each Dictionary contains also an Array with Dictionaries and so on. The Result should be shown inside a UITableView. Should I create a Class that represents a Restaurant and then create an instance for every Restaurant which I put in an Array and use this as the Data Source for my UITableView or should I use the complete Array I got the first Time.
I think, using an Array with a dedicated Restaurant class would make the handling much easier but maybe there are reasons to not do it this way? Performance maybe?

Guided Questioning iOS App

I’m making an iPad app that will display a few choices and based on your choice will display a series of questions with each question triggering a different set of questions. I was wondering if there was a name for this or any open-source library that someone has made for this kind of app.

Saving Passwords To The Local Device

So In my app (iOS), you have to register in order to use the service (a food service). But in order to change details about your account (username, password, and email), you have to reenter your password. Except for if the user logged out, this is the only time you need your password to use the app. So I was wondering, since the user basically never uses their password, and its likely they would forget it the one time they might need it, is it ok if I store their password to their local device (in NSUserDefaults)?

Developing an iOS app for a single device – licensing issue

I’m developing an iOS app for a museum as a freelancer. It’s a very simple video player, to be installed on a single iPad that will be part of a permanent exhibition, basically acting as a kiosk. It turns out the iPad is the ideal device for that if you’re looking for a small and affordable touchscreen.

NSNotificationCenter vs. Protocol

I am using MPMoviePlayerController in a project. The loadState of the MPMoviePlayerController object is observed using NSNotificationCenter.
