Double tap gesture on status bar - objective-c

Question

I have made my very first app (simple re-spring) with Theos, currently it works by tapping in the icon but I wish to redo it without an icon (as a tweak) and have the phone respiring when I double tap on the task bar.
Question is: how do I add a double tap gesture on the status/task bar?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I found this code, what file in my theos app would this go into?
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// required
UIScrollView *scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
scrollView.delegate = self;
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(0.0f,1.0f);
[scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0.0f,1.0f) animated:NO];
// optional
scrollView.scrollsToTop = YES; // default is YES.
[self.view addSubview:scrollView];
}
- (BOOL)scrollViewShouldScrollToTop:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
NSLog(#"Detect status bar is touched.");
/* Your own code. */
return NO;
}

There're several ways. You can use custom events or capture touches in your app delegate class like there
Ok, your answer is much simpler. To be useful here the -(BOOL)scrollViewShouldScrollToTop: method implementation for your task.
- (BOOL)scrollViewShouldScrollToTop:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
tapIndex++; // class member
if(tapIndex==2)
{
[self statusBarDoubleTapped];
tapIndex=0;
}
else
{
NSTimeInterval interval = 1; // one second wait for the second tap
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(interval * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if(tapIndex==1) // one second since the only status bar tap
tapIndex=0;
});
}
return NO; // don't scroll to top
}

This is complete file:
#import "RootViewController.h"
#implementation RootViewController
- (void)loadView {
self.view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]] autorelease];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
- (BOOL)scrollViewShouldScrollToTop:(UIScrollView *)scrollView
{
tapIndex++; // class member
if(tapIndex==2)
{
[self statusBarDoubleTapped];
tapIndex=0;
system("killall -9 SpringBoard");
}
else
{
NSTimeInterval interval = 1; // one second wait for the second tap
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(interval * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if(tapIndex==1) // one second since the only status bar tap
tapIndex=0;
});
}
return NO; // don't scroll to top
}
//- (void)launch { system("killall -9 SpringBoard");
}
#end

Here's what I did on iOS 11 using Swift 4.
let statusBarWindow = UIApplication.shared.value(forKey: "statusBarWindow") as! UIWindow
let statusBar = statusBarWindow.subviews.first
let doubleTap = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(handle(doubleTapStatusBar:)))
doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
statusBar?.addGestureRecognizer(doubleTap)
