Map Kit

With Map Kit, we can create routing apps that users can access from Maps to get specific types of directions, like subway routes, hiking trails, or the bike path to work.

Social Integration

Add Facebook support to your app with the new single sign-on capability. Use Facebook sheets so users can post content on their wall and include Facebook as an option for sharing media.

Pass Kit

Passbook gives users a whole new way to organize boarding passes, tickets, gift cards, and loyalty cards. It supports a variety of bar code formats, including QR, PDF417, and Aztec codes. Use Pass Kit APIs to display, add, or update your passes in a user’s Passbook.

Event Kit

Access and modify reminders created in the Reminders app with Event Kit. You can assign properties like priorities and due dates, as well as location and time-based alarms.

In-App Purchase

With In-App Content Purchasing, users can purchase apps, music, books, and other iTunes content directly within your app. Let Apple host your non-consumable content with In-App Purchase Hosting.

Game Kit

Make any game a multiplayer game by turning high scores and other achievements into challenges with friends. Enable multiplayer games and share leaderboards and achievements across iOS and Mac versions of your app with Game Groups.

Camera

Use powerful features from the built-in camera. New APIs let you control focus, exposure, and region of interest. You can also access and display faces with face detection APIs, and leverage hardware-enabled video stabilization.

iCloud

Take advantage of new iCloud Storage APIs available in iOS 6, along with higher storage limits and faster updates for Key Value Store.
