I was searching for inspiration to make a clean UI design and I found one.
Now I'm trying to use the design to practice, but I can't figure out how the developers made the status bar and toolbar seamless.
This is what I'm trying to do; (Make the status bar and toolbar seamless)
I tried making the statusbar transparent but that gives it a different functionality.
I'd be grateful if you could any information on how to achieve this, Thanks a lot in Advance.

I'm building an iPhone app with Storyboards. But for a couple of special view controllers, I'm using just program code (which is the way I'm used to doing most of my work). For some reason, the status bar is coming up white and empty. I want do set it as the same color as the toolbar and for the status bar content to appear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what other info would be helpful to post in order to track down the problem.
Thanks.
I don't know if by "empty", you mean transparent. If so, I think the StatusBarPlugin could be useful for you:

It provides a very easy way to customize your status bar
I'm following this guide to create some animations to my app and thought about writing a very light not distracting animation to my tab bar. I've searched apple guidelines but didn't saw anything against it, yet, I don't think I've ever seen an app doing something similar. Is that because it's not allowed or is there another reason I'm missing?
Any one knows an app that does something similar?
I'm using a simple slide in/out effect for the tab bar in my App.
No problems in the review.

I'm looking for a way to achieve a menu kind of like the one you see in the "my songs" menu in Garageband. I've seen this menu in some other Apps (Omnigraffe, for example). I think it is a pretty common thing.
It will be for, like in the case of Garageband, a project menu, in the way that you can slide from one project to the next and when you tap one of them it zooms and opens it.
No questions on the zooming, I guess I'll have to build my own segue for that.
Is there a component for that?
If there's not, any thoughts on what would be the best way to build it?
Take a look to Nick Lockwood's carousel - https://github.com/nicklockwood/iCarousel.
I'm developing a iPad app which has a popover which appears to show you a list of items. I need the ability to delete one of the items, so I'm considering adding the ability to press-and-hold (a.k.a. long tap) on one of the list items which would show another popover for that item, with an action list showing a delete button.
Two questions:
In terms of iPad UX, is this a good idea? Haven't seen it anywhere, and I guess it could be a little confusing...but how else can I do this?
Is this possible, code wise? I haven't tried it, but I am still pretty new to iOS development so I could see myself fumbling round for hours before finding out there's a technical reason why it's not possible.
Thanks!
It's not a good idea, and I don't think it's possible even though it's possible.
Apple's Human Interface Guidelines clearly state that you should not do it. This is as definitive an answer as there can be regarding UX.
For inspiration on how to delete items without requiring a popover, look at how UITableView does it, for instance.
Often, you'll have an Edit button in the top toolbar inside the popover to trigger edit mode.
If you want some kind of confirmation dialog, use UIActionSheet. They look good and work well enough, especially in popovers. In your case, I think these are the way to go.

notice that the 0:35 , the iPad bottom have a thin photo bar. Is it a private API or I need to create my own or Which UI Element will it be? Thz.
That's definitely a custom job. However, it's basically a UIToolbar with a fancy slider on it. You can easily make the toolbar using Interface Builder, and you could take a simple stab at the slider by taking a regular UISlider and giving it some replacement images for its track, thumb, etc. See the documentation on UISlider.
If that doesn't quite work, then you're going to have to get down and dirty in UIControl code and make on yourself from scratch (or hope and pray that someone has written an open source version already).
