Is this possible for us to customize the UITabbar as it is in the attached image for an iPAd App?
My App is only meant for Landscape orientation..
Will apple allow this?
I know that this same can be done using a UIToolbar and having tab like buttons. Since the number of tabs I will have in my app is around 5, I can not think of implementing them in a single view using UIToolbar.
I came to know that even if this kind customization is done, Apple will not approve the App.
I have actually used UIView to place different UIButtons in them and produce similar effects as that of UITabbar.

I have an iOS info app. The main screen of the app consists of rows of icons. I want that after tap on certain icon card with information appears and background blurs. To close the card I need to swipe up or down. It is very similar to Instagram's imageviewer.
Please help me create that.
P.S. This is my first project so please keep this in mind when you going to describe the method.
It should look like this
The answer to your question is probably hidden beneath the layers of how you can segue between the scenes of a storyboard. First, you create a scene like this in the storyboard and use some third party libraries to present it as a 'pop-up'. It is not possible for you to do that natively as Apple has not added any segue style showing the scene like a pop-up on the iPhone screens (On iPad it's possible - check how Apple presents choose Wi-fi network in Settings). For that purpose, you can use BlurryModalSegue or CNPPopupController to perform such operations.
Thank You!
I've started developing for tvOS recently, and discovered that while TVML isn't ideal for our use case, we'd still like to display a number of screens that display the same types of content as I've seen in existing Apple apps, and which I know can be created with TVML.
As an example, I want to display a page of terms, the same way that the Apple TV displays information as a scrollable page of text.
I could do this custom, where I place my own textView on a UIViewController, and setup the width and positioning myself. But it's scenarios like this, where I'm wondering if there's some already existing standard control for it, such as a UIViewController subclass already setup for displaying Terms? Is there a set of these I could be looking at?
UIAlertController should solve what you're looking for. You configure the text, buttons, and then present it.

I'm trying to create an APP prototype and I was wondering what is the name of animation/transition effect that you see on top of the mailing app when you click the new message button. It's animation effect where the navigation bar does not fully go to the top of the screen and you can the previous view in the background? And is there way to add that animation effect to my storyboard? If not, is there a easily available library that will
I do believe that is a custom transition for which apple does not provide api.
My app is in landscape and uses a UINavigationController as its RootViewController. My goal with it is:
Disable the normal iOS StatusBar ( I know how to do that and already did it )
Have a semi-transparent StatusBar (a view) above the UINavigationBar, so that I can show custom information on it
Parts of the content of my main view must be visible underneath my custom StatusBar (exactly like it works with the normal UIStatusBar, just that I don't want the clock and battery and want to show my own information on it)
How can I best achieve this?
A quick search on GitHub gave me multiple libraries that offer the exact functionality you are looking for.
MTStatusBarOverlay
KGStatusBar
CWStatusBarNotification
FDStatusBarNotifierView
BWStatusBarOverlay
WTStatusBar
TWStatus
Try them out, test them and see which one is best for you.
If none of them are good enough, you should get an idea on how to achieve this functionality using the source code those libraries provide.
iOS 7 Human Interface Design, page 143 says:
Don’t create a custom status bar. Users depend on the consistency of
the system-provided status bar. Although you might hide the status bar
in your app, it’s not appropriate to create custom UI that takes its
place.

I'm just new to the ipad development world, and have come across the Instapaper app, and I just love the UI on this app.
Specifically, alt text http://sbox.smokingapples.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/instapaper.jpg
Can you tell me what techniques would be used in creating a Navigation Controller with toolbar items, all on a transparent background?
How did they do it?
This seems like a common pattern in iPad apps, but I don't see any code examples in the apple developer site that gives hints on how this effect is achieved.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Provide your own implementation of -drawRect: in your navigation bar subclass, that doesn't draw a background image.
