TestFlight API and stats with as3

I'm using TestFlight to test my app.
I uploaded on itunesConnect and after some problems, now it works fine and I think I understood itunesConnect's flow.
Now I want to monitor the user experience (just for my testers) and I want to know where the user is clicking and if sometimes the app crashes.
I remember that TestFlight had some API to do this, but now I can't find them!
Maybe it was an old features when it wasn't buy from Apple. I don't know... but I don't find any good information about the API.
I'm working inside Flash Builder using as3. Any idea?
Thanks a lot!
As I mentioned in my comments, this is not acheivale at full by ItunesConnect and its App Analytics, I am using and recommend you to try this tool: https://www.appsee.com/ it matches what you want and shows really good UX analytics.

How do I set a project to not compile in any active configuration in Xamarin?

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to setup a configuration for a project in Xamarin to not compile (build). I've done some Googling on the subject, but couldn't find very much information due to the lack of documentation on anything that doesn't involve mobile development for Xamarin. :P Any help is greatly appreciated!
In the Solution Explorer, right click the solution and go to options. In the Build/Configurations section, click the Configuration Mappings. There you can include or remove projects from different configurations, not only the active one.
You can also follow the guided tutorial from here: http://xmonodev.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/setting-the-active-configuration-in-xamarin-studio/
I have just solved this issue.
First, You will remove project in project solution on solution pane.
remove project image
And then you have to insert project to your solution, again.
insert project image
Perhaps it will work.

jQMobi documentation mirror

Just got started and running with jqMobi, which is now called 'intel's application framework' (cheesy name eh)
Along with intel's porting to their new site, they forgot to put the full docs online (at least I can't find it). Now there's only minimal documentation, like the getting started. I'd like to get on with it.
Anyone knows where the (full) docs are hosted? I really hate to go look for another framework again.
The documentation is all there. The only thing they did not add was the "testdrive", which is just the kitchen sink sample found in github
In my opinion the docs are somewhat scattered, but there's some helpful stuff if you can find it. I keep bookmarks for these links. There are some links from those that get you to more stuff.
http://html5dev-software.intel.com/documentation/jqmobiapis/index.html
http://app-framework-software.intel.com/documentation.php?r=9057
http://developer.html5dev-software.intel.com/
http://www.html5dev-software.intel.com/documentation/
Actually they split off where appMobi is a cloud services company to support apps, and Intel took the part to build the apps. So you may still need/want appMobi. Their docs are on their site of course. There is still some duplication on the appMobi site.
Technically I don't think jqMobi is the same thing as the Intel App Framework, but at the same time I have a hard time understanding what's called what anymore. I'm sure they'll clear this up over time. I hope they find names that can be useful tags on stackoverflow.com!

Confusion on Mobile App Development

After reading tons of tutorials and opinions, I'm more confused than ever on what could be a solid combination of tools to build a cross-platform client-server app, where the bulk of the cpu work is done on the server. The client just needs to push/pull data from the server on a regular interval, and display among other things a Google map with some moving markers. The logic is quite simple, but I can't really figure out the best way to do what I want, especially since I'm just an amateur.
So I've decided to set up Eclipse with PhoneGap, but looking for decent samples I found about AppLaud and AppLaudCloud. And then Sencha Touch. And then Mono (I'm familiar with .NET). And Appcelerator... I'm lost!!!
Could anyone please tell me where to start? Or better, which solution is the easiest to set up and work with while retaining flexibility?
Many thanks
Chris
For whatever is worth, here is what I used to build a couple of webapps successfully: Dreamweaver CS5.5 + JQuery Mobile + PhoneGap.
This solution allowed me to easily design the app's UI and at the same time write the PHP server code effortlessly. In my opinion, it's the easiest tool for a beginner as the Dreamweaver environment takes care of pretty much everything. After watching a few free tutorials about DW, I was up and running very quickly.

Are there open source CAPTCHA solutions available?

I'm in the process of adding CAPTCHA validation to one of my websites and need to know what open source solutions exist. Please note strengths and weaknesses and what platform they work with. I'm primarily interested in ASP.NET solutions but feel free to include PHP, Java, etc.
ReCAPTCHA is the same one StackOverflow uses. It has an ASP.NET implementation.
It uses a webservice to provide the captcha images; this is an university trying to digitize difficult to OCR texts. I'm not sure how easy it would be to replace this portion. There are many open source client implementations, as the API is quite well documented.
Jeff Atwood has a captcha control + source hosted on his coding horror site
ReCaptcha might be another alternative but i don't think the source is open.
Have you seen JCaptcha? Not an ASP framework, but might be useful.
Try this one... http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/CaptchaImage.asp very nice article!
One I just found but have not tried out is MyCaptcha
ReCaptcha has many benefits. The fact that google owns it is a big plus. We used to use ReCaptcha on my project, but the firewall in our production environment cannot handle add entries based on domain name, only based on IP addresses. ReCaptcha has switched to using Googles infrastructure, so the IP addresses are no longer publicly available. Our production environment is locked down extremely tightly, so there are no workarounds possible -- we have to start using a new captcha. If you're in my boat, ReCaptcha won't work for you.
In the Java world, check out JCaptcha.
Have you taken a look at ReCAPTCHA?
