I'm creating application for iOS7.0 and higher versions. But due this i must use iOS8 SDK. But since iOS8 UISplitViewController delegate method "shouldHideViewController" is deprecated. So basically APPLE removed any known to me method to hide masterVC for iOS7 users..
Please tell me is there any way to solve this problem?
You can set the preferredPrimaryColumnWidthFraction
property on the detail VC.
self.splitViewController.preferredPrimaryColumnWidthFraction = 0;

I'm using the VFR PDF viewer library in my app, where I present it thus:
ReaderDocument *document = [ReaderDocument withDocumentFilePath:pdfFile password:nil];
ReaderViewController *vc = [[ReaderViewController alloc] initWithReaderDocument:document];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
If I run on iOS7, everything works fine.
If I run my app on iOS8, the willRotateToInterfaceOrientation method in ReaderViewController never gets called, so when the device is rotated the document doesn't get reformatted correctly.
However, if I run the demo app that comes with the library on iOS8, the willRotateToInterfaceOrientation in ReaderViewController does get called, which leads me to believe the library is ok, and I'm doing something wrong (or neglecting to do something) in my app.
I'm rather puzzled at this behaviour. Why doesn't willRotateToInterfaceOrientation get called in my app on iOS8, but it does under the other variations? How can I try to track this down?
I finally managed to resolve my problem; here is what the issue was in case anyone else has the same problem.
My ReaderViewController was being presented from a class that had implemented viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator:, so the deprecated methods on child view controllers weren't being called.
Also in that implementation it wasn't calling
[super viewWillTransitionToSize:size withTransitionCoordinator:coordinator]
and so the viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator: method of all child view controllers wasn't being called either.
The fix was to add a call to
[super viewWillTransitionToSize:size withTransitionCoordinator:coordinator]
into the parent VC's viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator: method, subclass ReaderViewController, then add a viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator: to my subclass to call the appropriate methods in ReaderViewController.
Simply because willRotateToInterfaceOrientation is no more called in iOS8, it is deprecated.
If the new rotation methods are not implemented, and a project is
compiled with the iOS 8 SDK, the view controllers -will not receive
calls- to the deprecated rotation methods.
A similar question to yours can be found here
Citation of #mluisbrown :
The rotation methods are deprecated in the iOS 8 SDK. This will have
no effect at all on apps built with the iOS 7 SDK, even running in iOS
8 and probably several future versions of iOS.
I struggled a bit with some kind of a similar problem to yours. I tried following Apple recommendation to use viewWillTransitionToSize, which in my case did not solve my problem because this only gets triggered on changes from regular to compact for example an not on rotation.
viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator: to make
interface-based adjustments.
Which is detailed in apple documentation
Also a video of WWDC 2014 explains this but I can't remember which video it was. Perhaps the one on What's new in Cocoa touch or the one on View Controller Advancements in iOS 8.
EDIT
Note that in my case viewWillTransitionToSize, as explained, was not called because I wasn't changing from regular to compact so there was no size transition, strictly speaking for Apple.
The only solution I fount was to handle this manually in the viewDidLayoutSubviews of the corresponding view controller.
In my case I wanted to keep track of the top cell displayed in a tableview with autolayout. As it wasn't tracked automatically by the system, I had to check that manually and scroll manually to the adequate cell on rotation. That's why I did it that way. It's quite "heavy" but works in my case.
I would also be interested if anyone has an easier solution.
In iOS 7.1 I set an integer variable in my viewDidAppear method. It works at first, but after navigating to another view controller and navigating back my integer variable is now set at zero. If I move integer variable setup to viewDidLoad it works every time.
In iOS 8 it works every time in the viewDidAppear method.
Why would this work in 8, but not 7.1?
I can't speak to the question of the differences between iOS 7 and iOS 8 in regards to viewDidAppear, here are some what I hope are useful links to take a look at.
There was a question answered that addressed the call/event cycle that contains a graphic that you may find useful:
iOS 7 - Difference between viewDidLoad and viewDidAppear
And this link has a reference to a UIViewController using a UINavigationController that, in turns, manages other UIViewControllers and the viewDidAppear message was getting lost in the hierarchy. The fix was to ensure that the navigation controller explicitly called viewDidAppear so it would be passed it to the child views.

Not sure of your exact situation, but hopefully these will help.
I have a view controller in navigation controller, its transition was fine until I upgraded my SDK to iOS7.
After upgrading my develop env to iOS7 SDK and Xcode5, I found that I can drag that view out of screen.
The transition looks the same as popViewController:animated:'s. After reading the UI transition part of iOS7 doc, I know now that it's a new transition that added in iOS7 SDK.
But, I didn't find how to disable that transition --- just disable the dragging, when I call popViewController:animated:, I want that view controller be popped.
Sorry about the complexity of my description. Anybody can give me some hint?
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you're asking something similar to this past question. If so, here's the code:
if ([self.navigationController respondsToSelector:#selector(interactivePopGestureRecognizer)]) {
self.navigationController.interactivePopGestureRecognizer.enabled = NO;
}
So I'm creating and showing a custom window in my iOS app because I'm writing a dynamic alert view that also functions like a growl/toast alert. It works AWESOMELY in ios6 (Hopefully I can open source this baby and you can all check it out)
But anyway, when I run this in ios5, the window that my alerts exist on doesn't seem to rotate with the device/simulator. No matter what, my custom window stays in portrait mode.
The UIWindow is just a UIView subclass, so there's no nice 'shouldRotate' delegate method.
I'm kinda stumped on why this is happening in ios5 but not 6. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated ^_^
My window has a rootviewcontroller, which I completely forgot about. I just needed to implement
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation{
return YES;
}
To get it to work.
:-D
It's usually not recommended two use multiple instances of UIWindow in one iOS app. The only valid reason to do so is to support external screens. You should use a UIView instead, ideally managed by a UIViewController.
I assume, (since you didn't provide any code, I can only assume) the reason why your window doesn't 'rotate' is, that it's simply not getting any notifications about device rotation. Only the keyWindow receives them by default.
I would highly recommend to redesign your app to use a properly managed UIView instead. If you desperately don't want that for some reason, you would have to register your instance of UIWindow to receive the UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification and then (in the handler) evaluate what the new orientation is and change the window's frame accordingly (plus maybe other things that need to be done in response to the orientation change)
Since iOS 6 release, there are some iAd properties and methods that are deprecated like :
currentContentSizeIdentifier
requiredContentSizeIdentifiers
ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait
ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierLandscape
So what's the best way to implement iAd now on both orientation ? Should we now resize the banner view frame manually ?
I have my application only support Landscape mode(should work for Portrait mode also), and have iAd showing up on the top of the application. And to make this work with ios6 I had to do this:
In Monotouch
storesAdBannerView = new ADBannerView();
storesAdBannerView.AutoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleWidth;
For objc (which I dont use), I think it might be
[storesAdBannerView setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth]
It seems that landscape ads are somewhat phased out.
See: http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/iphone-sdk-development/108118-landscape-iad-banners-in-ios-6-edit-landscape-phased-out-completely.html
It need further confirmation, as I could not find any Apple document regarding that change.
I sAw 2 workaround there : http://www.touch-code-magazine.com/iad-code-is-broken-in-ios6/ Tested the first solution:
easy temporary solution – you can quickly get your app to compile again by using a cheap cheat, add explicitly #import to the files where you are accessing currentContentSizeIdentifier and the size name constants. That should get you going until you alter your app to use the new auto-layout features.
It works ok on xcode 4.5 (banner test ok).
