I just recently noticed it is possible to add a force touch gesture to my watch app. I've added a Menu and 3 Menu items... as seen here:
Although, when I force touch, the menu does not come up.
Do I need to do something else to get this thing working?
Tutorials suggest I do not. Thus, I turn to stackoverflow.
By default, each menu item's image is set to Custom in the attributes inspector, and without an image asset selected here a menu item won't appear at all upon a firm press. You'll have to choose one of the images that Apple provides in the attributes inspector Image dropdown menu or provide your own asset where it says No Image right below.

I've been working on a couple of iOS action extensions for a while, but I have noticed an odd behavior I was wondering if anyone else saw. In short, after you install and turn the extension on from the share button menu and leave the menu, it disappears from the menu.
More specifically, when you first install the extension, you expect you have to press the share button, scroll the bottom bar menu (for the action extensions) all the way to the right, press the "More" button, toggle your extension on and then press done. At that point the icon for the extension will appear and you can use it. However, the next time you want to use the action extension, the icon will not appear and you have to repeat the process, even though when you look in the "More" menu, the toggle switches for your app are already flipped on.
I wish I could add images to further elaborate here, but I can't because of StackOverflow's rules.
I have not been able to find any information on this any where, so I was hoping someone here has noticed this behavior or not. Any help on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
This has been a bug in iOS 8.3, and has been acknowledged by Apple.
Fixed in iOS 9.
Issue on OpenRadar
How to solve:
The new share extension is NOT visible in the default list, and is CHECKED in the “More…” list. Changing any of the switches and tapping Done will show the new share extension in the default list.
I am working with ECSSlider (https://github.com/edgecase/ECSlidingViewController) for iPhone. Need to make some changes in it. I need to show menu by sliding DOWN the top menu and then after selecting option slide back UP the top menu. I have tried making changes in it but couldn't get the desired results. Changed code is at:https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ujzfsvirktkxz4/ECSlidingViewController-master%20copy.zip
Please guide me if you know the way.
I am creating an iphone application, where i am getting confuse. I need to show a control (displaying Online option) as i have mention in below screenshot. I have seen such type of controls in Android.
When user will press, it should display Offline and Online two options in one small pop up view. Selected option text will come on to the control field. How to implement or give me suggestion to show such type of field in iphone.
Thanks in Advance.
Check the answer here: Any pull down or drop down menu for iOS?
Personally I would make a text box with an image view to make it look like a drop down box. then on tap load a UIActionSheet for the user to select from.
I'm currently learning iOS development from scratch, and as such, I'm making lots of new projects. Every time I do so, I have to resize the Xcode window (I don't want it maximised, but I don't want it as tiny as it makes it), and I also have to pop open the Utilies and Debug areas, as well as dragging the Objects library up to make it larger. Can I set some defaults in Xcode to do this for every new project?
No, Xcode doesn't include all these options, but you can get part way there. You can setup a behavior that shows or hides the parts of an Xcode window such as the utilities, the toolbar, the debugger, etc. Then it's one menu selection or key command to show the parts, and a little dragging to resize things.
To make a behavior select Behaviors>Edit Behaviors... from the "Xcode" menu in Xcode. Create a new behavior by clicking the "+" symbol near the lower left corner. Give your behavior a name and optionally a key command. Set the options in the behavior to show or hide the parts you want shown or hidden, and maybe even take some of the other available actions.
To run the behavior just select it from the "Behaviors" submenu of the "Xcode" menu, or press the appropriate key command combination.
My universal app has a settings page, wherein the user must choose a theme from a dozen available themes.
Problem is, if I am using a picker-view, it takes up most of the screen on an iPhone.
I think what I want is something like your standard Windows drop-down menu, where it just displays on a single line the current selection, and clicking it expands into a scrollable list of possible items. Selecting an item collapses the list back into the original form.
So my question is: What is my best method for handling this situation? Can anyone point me to pictures or code examples of how this situation is handled successfully?
EDIT:
This is the behaviour I'm looking for:
only the currently selected profile is displayed
when the user taps on this, it expands into a list
when the user selects an item (or taps outside of the view) it collapses back to its original form, now displaying the new selection
ie functionally equivalent to a dropdown.
Firstly, this question is a duplicate of:
(not much good) Picker view as subview
(same) How to make an iPhone dropdown-looking button
(better) How to create drop down list box for an iphone app
(even better) Creating a drop-down list in iPhone app
(that last one links to some handy code)
Secondly, Google image search for 'dropdown control iphone' restricting the image size to 320x480 shows how everyone is doing this.
Basically a picker view scrolls in from the bottom, the same way as the keyboard does.
