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)?

Will apple approve app which internally uses library developed by Google?

I am using GDataXML library developed by Google as part of their Objective-C client library. As its Google’s XML processing library and I heard that Apple don’t allow to use any third party libraries in app, will they allow this one?.
(I am using this library because many iOS geeks suggest to use this one!!).

Is a simple iPhone app more appealing to users than a mobile website?

My client wants to do an iPhone app because she’s found that people are significantly more likely to use the iPhone app over a mobile optimized site. The iPhone app is very simple – it just displays a couple images and some text. As a programmer I’d much rather do a mobile site given the simple nature of the content. From a technical perspective I feel that it’s overkill to use an iPhone app in this situation.

Start with open source desktop application and move to iPhone/Android app

I’m a high schooler and I am competing in an open source software development competition. It must be a desktop application that runs on either Windows or Linux. I have a great idea for the open source desktop app, and I wanted to know if I could take it farther and port it to the iPhone or Android platform and make money (preferably through $.99 cost, not ads)

Can python and php work together?

I am having a mobile app created for ios. The developers built the app in php. The app requires an algorithm so I found another programmer to develop it. The algorithm programmer built the algorithm in python. The developers refuse to finish the app because they say it won’t work with python, while the programmer insist it will. The programmer says put the algorithm in its on server and connect then over http. Will this work and I’d so how risky is it to future problems?
