In iOS version 9 and below of my app, I added 2 action buttons and upon sliding the notification I see options - action1 and action 2 as desired. However in ios 10 I see 2 buttons with text "View" and "Clear" and upon clicking on "View" I am able to see the customized buttons I added.
1) Is there any way that I see the buttons I added directly without clicking on "View"?
2) Is there any way I can change the text of "View"?

I am looking for a way to add several toolbar buttons to Finder, which, when clicked, perform certain actions.
My research shows that injecting code into Finder process is impossible on latest versions of macOS due to SIP, yet this would be the most seamless way for the user.
There is a possibility to add a toolbar item by creating a Finder Sync extension. However there are 2 problems:
There can be only one toolbar button per extension (I need several buttons)
The toolbar button will have a dropdown arrow (see an image below). I do not need to show a menu, however, and therefore this arrow makes the button misleading. It must be a simple plain button that matches the current system theme and performs an action upon click.
So this is what I don't need (because of the drop down arrow):
Update:
One of the ways to add a button, is drag and drop an .app bundle, holding Command key.
This approach has the following problems:
This button wouldn't match the other toolbar buttons look&feel, as the icon for such button is taken from the .app bundle (so it wouldn't switch based on macOS light/dark theme, for example)
It is impossible to add several toolbar buttons like that (as there needs to be one .app per 1 button). However, I need multiple buttons.
I am wondering if FinderSync allows creating "normal" (non menu) buttons
Is there a way to add a regular button to Finder's toolbar?

Basically, I made every task a button app.
I'm trying Finder Sync Extension to do the same thing. All issues you found are true. Furthermore, there's problem #3:
You can not submit an app with Finder Sync Extension to the App Store.
I am facing a weird issue to tap UIButtons with Xcode 9 and IOS 11.2. The buttons are in a UIView and are simple call to action buttons such as submit and cancel.
When I click on these buttons, the action is triggered only when I click to the left most part of the button. I have checked that the view width is enough to allow the button to be inclusive in it as a whole. However, for some reason, I am not able to see why I am not able to click the button. A similar problem is encountered in other views too.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
In iOS 7 when i push the mpmovieplayercontroller to screen there is an "Audio & Subtitles" menu item. However, it does not in ios 6. (it appears only in stream video playing)
Are there any way to hide this menu ?
BTW, i have tried 4 MPMovieControlStyle and none of them hide this menu.
The reason why Alternate Track button appears and how made it hidden.

I want to have an icon in the menubar in my Mac app - and the icon should spawn a menu upon clicking. While having more entries in the menu, I would like to have a top row as a universal text entry field - like it is in Spotlight:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3943878/_mine/Screen%20shot%202011-07-16%20at%2012.29.18.png
Is it possible to add such a field to NSMenu? Or should I do it as a panel-type window?
If you're using xcode 4 , make a custom view in interface builder and add a textfield or anything you want to it. In IB also drag and drop a "Menu" from the objects library with as many items as you want in it. Then simply ctrl+click the menu item you want to make into the text field (In your case it would be the top one) and drag to the custom view and select "view". Now when you open the menu, instead of showing a menu item in that space, it shows whatever was in your custom view.
EDIT: As for your comment here's what you should do. Make your menu an outlet by opening the assistant editor view and ctrl+click from your menu to the header file that you want to use. now, simply make a method that will run whenever the menu will open, conveniently apple already made this, it's called menuWillOpen.
- (void)menuWillOpen: nameOfYourMenu{
[self performSelector:#selector(methodExecutedWhenMenuIsClicked) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0 inModes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:NSRunLoopCommonModes]];
the delay at 0 will make it happen immediately, it must be done in the common modes run loop so that the menu will be updated even while it's open. Now just make the methodExecutedWhenMenuIsClicked and set it so the text field responds.
- (void)methodExecutedWhenMenuIsClicked{
[[yourTextfiled window] makeFirstResponder:yourTextField];
You can put any view in a menu using -[NSMenuItem setView:]. See the long comment in NSMenuItem.h and the section Views in Menus in Application Menu and Pop-up List Programming Topics.
You're probably going to struggle quite a bit. I just tried doing the same thing, and reading the Views in Menus in Application Menu and Pop-up List Programming Topics document referenced by Ahruman, I found this:
A view in a menu item can receive all mouse events as normal, but keyboard events are not supported. During “non-sticky” menu tracking (that is, manipulating menus with the mouse button held down), a view in a menu item receives mouseDragged: events.
I think we're SOL. Apparently Spotlight pops up a borderless window instead.
My iPad (!!) app has a table view as the UISplitViewControllers details controller. To trigger various actions I use the following:
A swipe gesture on the cells to make a button visible that is called "Action".
Touching the action button shows a UIActionSheet with various options (Delete, Send, Download).
Touching one of the buttons in the action sheet triggers the action.
To achieve this behavior I customized the title of the "Delete" button which would normally be shown by the swipe gesture.
Please note that touching the cell itself will open/preview the touched item.
However, my test users complain that they cannot find the action menu because they would never try swiping the cells and if they would, they would do it to delete the entry. But they like that touching the cell previews the item.
Hence my question: what is the correct way of doing it? Show a disclosure button in every row (the little blue arrow to the right)? Show UIBarButtonItem in every row to bring up the action menu?
I'm so against it because it looks ridiculous to have a button in every row.
Sounds like a tricky situation; I'd either:
Add a detail disclosure button to each cell, and have that push a new view controller with the options (like the YouTube app).
Show the options in the "entry" view and have the "swipe" action an extra, discoverable feature (like the Twitter app).
