In iOS application, tab bar id added containing more than 10tabs and screens.
Note: Tab bar is just example.
I want to implement search menu(feature), so that user can search and quickly navigate to particular screen. There are number of screens and to go to particular screen user has to taps number of time. So here I have to provide search option so that user can search and quickly navigate to particular screen. I want to minimize number of taps and provide quick access to all features in the application.
For e.g) When user enter text 'edit profile', app should show options relevant to entered text like "Edit Profile". When user tap on it, it should navigate to Edit profile screen.
What should be approach to implement such kind of functionality?
Do I need to define all features somewhere?
How to manage navigation?
How to provide suggestions as per entered search text?

I have tried to find the official name of this functionality however could not.
Thanks
Home Screen Quick Actions
Home screen quick actions are a convenient way to perform useful, app-specific actions right from the Home screen. People can get a menu of available quick actions when they touch and hold an app icon (on a 3D Touch device, people can press briefly on the icon to see the menu).

I want to implement hints for the users who are going to visit my App for the first time. And when the users click on that a popup would appear like my screenshot which I have attached and explain the users about it. Any idea how to handle this.
I am building a chat app that uses JSQMessagesViewController. The default functionality includes the ability for a user to long press a chat bubble which then presents a copy menu option (see screenshot). I would like to add an additional custom menu for reporting a comment. Ideally when the user long presses a chat bubble the menu now has two options, copy and report. Can someone please point me in the right direction for adding this custom menu button? Thank you!
See the demo file

How can I lock the home button in iOS 7 ?
I have 10 text fields and a submit button in a view. While I'm filling the text fields, the home button should be disabled.
Only after filling all the text fields, should the home button be again enabled.
Please let me know anybody, how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Disabling the Home button using your app is not possible but you can use Guided Access to block the Home button, but this is something the users will have to do. I don't think there's an API to do it within an app.
From Apple:
Guided Access helps students with disabilities such as autism remain
on task and focused on content. It allows a parent, teacher, or
administrator to limit an iOS device to one app by disabling the Home
button, as well as restrict touch input on certain areas of the
screen.
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.
