UIWebView provides almost no official way to control or modify the keyboard (inputView) or the form accessory (inputAccessoryView). Would be nice to have those exposed to allow custom keyboards and accessory bars (or additional button on the existing).

There are already INPUT element attributes to control autocorrection and capitalisation etc. Would like one to control the presence on the "X" "clear" button. At the moment there is no easy way to make one appear it seems.

Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) on Apple's iPhone SDK keep developers from sharing information that would help them build quality apps, and doesn't have the intended effect of keeping outsiders from learning about new SDK features. All negatives and no positives - it's time for the NDAs to go.

While the deploying to a device is the real test for any application, time and money can be saved by allowing multiple instances of the iPhone simulator.

iTunes doesn't allow syncing an application data between computer and iPhone if an application has desktop component though it is possible on Blackberry and Windows Mobile(Active Sync)

There is no public API for developers to load an OpenType font and use it in an app just like a built-in font - there are ways to use custom fonts but they are clunky. There does exist a private API to do this which seems to work just fine... Why not make it public?

make devs aware of their submission status for each step of the process, with *mandatory* and *specific* notes describing any delay past a pre-set time interval for each step

I often see people using the review system instead of contacting support for help. However, there is no way to respond to these "reviews".

I would like to be allowed access to more UIViewAnimationTransitions. Transitions such as the camera Iris closing and opening, Erica Sadun lists undocumented Transitions such as: Ripple, Genie, Spew, Suck, Zoom In, Zoom Out, Twist, Swirl and more. These would be great additions and help developers greatly. Currently jailbroken developers have access to these and we do not, we should have access to them.

This would:

1. create a "trial ware" business model option.

2. increase lite-to-paid conversions by enabling impulse buys: finish the last free level of a game? buy the whole thing right from the app and play through!

3. simplify lite-to-paid data migrations. e.g., when switching from a lite-to-paid version of a productivity application either (a) I have to re-enter all my todos or (b) the developer has to create server infrastructure to do it for me.

I would like access to the real-time camera data as it comes into the system. Right now when you launch the camera, the api only allows you access to the final image (or video). I would like to be able to act on data coming into the camera in real-time, enabling augmented reality apps/games.

I want to be able to manage calendar events automatically from my apps

Apple should enable background processes.
If the only thing that's stopping them is the battery drain, they should put a toggle in the settings that would allow users to run apps in the background.
