I am trying to deploy a monitoring app and was wondering if one could prevent it from showing up in the most used list.
If you extend your app from Application instead of UiApplication it won't be shown on any home screen at all.

My scenario that I need to show the first Local Notification using Swift and then using the same identifier add another Local Notification, but without showing it as a popup in iOS device. So basically the flow would be like this:
Starting upload... <-- Show on the screen and adds to the Tray bar
Uploading photos... <-- Does not shows on the screen, but clears all the notifications and add another one in Tray bar silently (or changes previous one)
Uploading data... <-- Same as Uploading photos...
Finished uploading... <-- Same as Uploading photos...
Tried different ways, on Android it is not hard to do that, but iOS makes everything hard to do, is it even possible? :)
Thanks!
The reason it works on Android is because the "state showing" notifications are very Android thing. iOS is not designed for this kind of stuff because you almost never do something in the background of an app that also needs to be reflected to the user while user is outside of an app. So the real answer to your question is no. In iOS environment it is not possible to simulate Android way of showing status changes in a notification.
I need to create sticky button which is on screen like hike button in ios
If i detect that application(WhatsApp) state event so i solve this problem. Thats why i need to create another application launched event.
Thank you in advance.
Apps on iOS are sandboxed and can not directly communicate with other apps directly. There are some API's in the iOS SDK which allows some interaction, mostly audio, share of items.
Apple does not expose to you app if an other app is launched, so checking that an other is launched is not possible.
The second issue is that you can draw on de screen outside of you own apps windows. So you will not be able to draw a button on top of some other app.
I am new to IOS, I have a question which is
I have few separate apps. After installation of these apps. It show as different apps icon in the home screen and I have to manually move these apps together to form a folder with apps contains. Do we have any ways to make these apps install and form a folder automatically by programmatically ways?
If yes, can show me how it can be done?
Sorry for my lousy English.
Thanks.
Unfortunately, you cannot do this on a non jailbroken iOS device. Each app is only responsible for what's going on inside the app. There are some exceptions to this (you can run certain logics in the background, subscribe to be woken up as a result of a certain notification, or provide an extension for the user to add to their Today screen or use via other apps), but you have no control over the user's home screen. Positioning the icons there is in the sole responsibility of your user.
I am developing an iPad application & I want to keep use only my application in iPad. User is not able to make any changes with Home button too.
I have tried same thing with "Guided Access". But, it will stop push notification also.
I have tried it with iPhone configuration Utility. But, I am not able to find any
restriction for Home button.
So, anyone have any idea how can I implement it?
You can't disable the Home button from the sandbox.You have to use the physical accessories to stop the Home button action, after opening your application.
My question:
I have an iOS app, it is minimized, and I want it to start when user press home button three times (or, for example combination of buttons, like "HOME+Volume-" and so on). Can I make it for non-jailbroken devices, only with native iOS functions?
It's not possible to customise iOS like that.
Without jailbraking, apps can only be opened by using custom URL schemes from other apps or by normally tapping on the on the home screen. To have an app open like this you would have to modify the OS and there is no way you can do that without a jailbreak.
Standard OS functionality like pressing the home button multiple times cannot be overridden because Apple is really against modifying any part of way the user interacts with apps or the OS.
No.
Not possible without jailbreak and then it would have to be some sort of preference in the OS settings.
