I would like to add some features to Jitsi-meet electron desktop app for online education purposes. The thing I'm searching for is, is it possible to add a pen which enable user to draw screen even if the app is in screenshare mode or minimized? Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if you can make the home screen visible through an app.
For example, let's take an example from the Apple Calculator. On macOS, the top is blurred and you can see everything through it.
I know iOS is a whole different OS and works through views and not tabs, but still: is it possible to e.g. blur the top of the iOS calculator and see the home screen through it?
Thanks, Ben
Unfortunately this is not possible, as this could be a serious breach of privacy for iPhone users.
If you could make the home screen visible through an app, a developer could technically save pictures of users' homescreens and store them in a remote database, which could give them access to private information. As a result, Apple doesn't allow you to do this.
I am automating iOS application in iPad using Selenium and Appium.
The application has one feature where it opens iPad's default camera application and user can take picture from it.
The requirement is to automate this procedure. i.e. Capture picture using iPad's default camera and use it in application.
Is there any way to automate this?
As far as I know, you can't directly take pictures from your iPad with Selenium/Appium, but there is a tool named AVFoundation that allows you to do so.
There is some documentation about taking pictures
The programming language that is used is Objective-C.
Hope you'll find what you are looking for.
Is there any way of testing Apple Smart App Banners in a desktop browser by doing something along the line of spoofing the user agent, or is this functionality so specific to Mobile Safari that I can only test it on an iDevice?
I know that merely spoofing the user agent in a desktop browser doesn't do anything in regards to showing the Smart App Banner, but maybe I can do something else in my desktop Safari browser to test the banner?
I am not an iOS developer but I have access to the iOS emulator on my colleague's Mac if that helps.
Unfortunately, the Smart App Banner is only displayed on iOS Safari on a real device. The iOS Simulator and desktop Safari cannot display smart app banners.
This is a bummer, especially because resetting smart app banners after they have been dismissed is a huge pain.
In chrome dev tools, click the sprocket that lead you to the more advnaced settings, there check the 'override' check-box, and select a mobile user agent(IOS, Android).
Keep in mind that the screen sizes that chrome provide are not always accurate and might need some adjustment.
For more accurate screen sizes you might want to use Mozilla & Firebug(basically has the same functionality)
You can just tap the toggle device toolbar inside chrome inspector and the smart app banners are recognized since this toggle changes to a mobile user agent.

One of our clients has come back to us today with a bug that has been found on the Torch 9860 (running OS 7.0).
It seems my app is running in a small box in the centre of the screen, with a big blue border surrounding it. If the soft keyboard is not showing, there is a black box where the keyboard would be.
This issue has not been reported before on other devices, and the app has been "in the wild" for a while. I have not seen it on our test devices - but do not have a Torch 9860 to test with.
I have attached photos of the app running on the device. The blue border is the problem - normally my app would fill the whole screen. I did not create the blue border (to the best of my knowledge).
Apologies for the photos - this is what they sent to us.
Showing the app running in a small box surrounded by the blue border. Note the black space where the keyboard would be if it was required.
Showing the app with the soft keyboard visible.
With some googling, I found 1 possible reference to this issue to do with an instant messaging app not showing correctly on 9860. Feedback was that they were looking into it.
I wonder who else has seen this, or can recommend solutions?
Updates
runs fine on the 9860 emulator
seems to be mentioned in this thread: Blackberry OS 7 Compatibility failed with 9860/9850 device
Thanks, Rafael (left answer in a comment to my question).
Based on the comment I told the client to run the app in compatibility mode (accessed through the system options - application options menu). This seems to have fixed the problem without me having to recompile for SDK 7.0 (also I don't have to start supporting multiple OS's yet).
I already had the blackscreen on bottom when the keyboard should be popped. But it happened rarely and get resolved with an update of the Blackberry
Ask for the OS version/platform of the Blackberry, and propose a update to him, if available.
I've been looking at several BlackBerry forums but wasn't able to find any reference if this is possible or not.
You can try one of following:
Blackberry - Loading/Wait screen with animation
loading-class-for-blackberry
BB Splash Screen
You would have to create an app that would run a loading screen while it installed the final target app, AFAIK
