Is there any way to take screen shot along with the Notification
Drawer?
Actually I'm working on a POC where I'm to take a screenshot, when iMessage comes and Message notification Drawer pops up, So can that Message notification Drawer be capture along with the view?
and if it's possible, Apple will allow to such application submission to the App Store.

In my iOS/iPadOS app I have notification content extension, which presents extended content in WKWebView. However, when started on lock screen, WKWebView does not load data properly. Therefore, I would like to ask user to unlock the device before displaying content. This is how Apple Mail does that - when selecting (long-pressing) notification banner on lock screen, it presents unlock screen (Passcode screen) before displaying content.
Question:
Do you know, how to do that? Is there any API to present unlock screen programmatically?
I have an app that contains stopwatch and when time is running and the app enters background I would like to have a notification on lock screen and in Notification Center (when you swipe down). The notification should contain actual time of the stopwatches and user should be able to stop/start the stopwatches.
I was trying to achieve this using UNNotificationContentExtension but as documentation says:
When an iOS device receives a notification containing an alert, the system displays the contents of the alert in two stages. Initially, it displays an abbreviated banner with the title, subtitle, and two to four lines of body text from the notification. If the user presses the abbreviated banner, iOS displays the full notification interface, including any notification-related actions. The system provides the interface for the abbreviated banner, but you can customize the full interface using a notification content app extension.
I found out that I am able to edit just full notification interface which means that when user gets notification and opens it I can show him whatever I want (I tried mediaPlayPauseButtonType to handle stopwatches). But when I check the lockscreen the notification stays default.
What are the possibilities to achieve Notification similar to Spotify - when you play song, you can pause the song and you can see the time etc. from the lockscreen?
Thanks!
I've added local notification with Notification Content Extension.
It shows okay on home screen (with app in background).
The problem lies in displaying notification content on lock screen. When notification arrives on lock screen, it is only displayed with text and swiping left shows "Clear" button.
I need some way to show notification fully from lock screen (as on home screen).
For example I saw "View" button in some of the tutorials/articles, can I even create or control something like it?
So with notifications on iOS 10, Apple changed the way they appear on devices. When the screen is locked, you can see a View and Clear button or just clear button based on whether the device is enabled with 3D touch or not.
Swiping left on a message now offers View and Clear on non-3D Touch devices or just Clear on 3D Touch devices.
On 3D Touch devices, the long press on notification reveals the notification actions menu which can be customized using Category definition in the code.
Hope this answers your query.
I am learning IOS and could not find that in a messaging app how to get the alert (popup box on screen and NOT a banner on top) for a message received (like in whatsapp or a built in messaging app).
Also, is it possible to get the alert if the app is open (like in whatsapp if we are using whatsapp then wee do not receive any pop up or banner for the message received).
Thanks in advance
If you want to receive popups in opened app you should create custom view. Native alerts about push notifications shown only if app in background or suspended and it's appearance customised by device settings
For example, you could use this library for popup box notifications or this for banner style
i want to show or change present image in notification with latest image icon, the image icon will be provided either in the notification data or saved previously in the app like this one and this one image
i want that if notification came on the IOS device then the image in the notification will show accordingly
this text from iOS Human Interface Guidelines
A banner is a small translucent view that appears onscreen and then disappears after a few seconds. Users can also see a version of the banner on the lock screen and in the Notifications view of Notification Center. In the banner, iOS displays your notification message and the small version of your app icon (to learn more about the small app icon, see App Icon). Users tap the banner to dismiss it and switch to the app that sent the notification.
I believe that you can't change it, but may be if you change some pictures in App icon source, you will achieve the necessary result, but I repeat, hardly everything will correctly work
for example
U can try to change Spotlight images or any else....
