I am very new to Xcode and so as with auto layouts and i want to make my app which i've created, adaptive in a very easy way. I have seen lots of tutorials on internet but nothing helped me with my app. so i don't know how to make my app adaptive. so i need a help.
I have made an app that generate report in second view controller after providing inputs in first view controller.so i need to see how can i use auto layouts in my respective app to make it adaptive or there any easy way to get the results. i have seen all the videos related to it.
thanks in advance.
The best way is to use Auto Layout and Size Classes. This way your app will work with all iPhone sizes and all iPads. It will also behave correctly in portrait and landscape.
For more details, you will need to read and watch a lot of documentations/WWDC videos.

It has been a while since I created my last app and I missed the change with the launch file (since titanium 5.2.0).
I want my app to have a custom splashscreen (full screen image). In the past I used the various png files for the splashscreens Default.png, Default#2x.png etc.
I'm testing with the launch file and the custom Storyboard. At the moment it's not clear to me how I can achieve the behavior i want: A full screen image in the splash screen.
What is the best approach?
Thanks for the help.
Go to http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Icons_and_Splash_Screens-section-29004897_IconsandSplashScreens-iOSgraphicassetrequirementsandoptions and take a look at the Purpose column. You'll see 9 splash screen sizes. You have to make each of them and put them in app/assets/iphone. Note that you have to name them exactly as told in the table.
This worked for me, Ti-5.4.0 tested on iPhone 7, iPad Air, iPhone 4S and iPhone 6S Plus.
Since version 5.2 storyboards were introduced. You can use them or you can disable it and use the "old" method to implement splashscreens.
To disable it, add this to tiapp: (of course, within the existing ios section in tiapp
<ios>
<enable-launch-screen-storyboard>false</enable-launch-screen-storyboard>
</ios>
To use it, look at the documentation how to implement it correctly.
So I am creating an app that will be released in the App Store available for iPhone 4/4s and iPhone 5.
In my project I am using storyboard for the interface.
At the moment not every object is able to aline perfect with the objects above so when I for example test on iphone 4 every thing gets messed up.
How can I fix the place of the object.
Do I have to hardcode this? Or can I use storyboard for this.
I think autolayout should suffice in most cases. You can check out a comprehensive tutorial here: http://floatlearning.com/2012/11/designing-for-multiple-screens-in-ios/
I have an iOS 5.0 app presently and had a few questions regarding deploying the app across multiple platform and multiple OS upgrades. I would like to know if there is a clean and configurable system that allows me to have one project handle deployment to the iPhone iOS5 and iOS6 and the latest iPad iOS without having ugly selection statements everywhere determining the platform the app is being currently run on. So I would like to know if there is a way to manage the code from a dev prespective so i can support all version/platform specific features of my app depending on what platform/version it is being currently run on (for ex. automatically switching to use the longer dimension background images if the app is being run on an iPhone 5 with iOS 6)
Is there any way to have this functionality?
I am slightly confused with your question, but I'll explain what I know. Xcode already has a way to change your app depending on what Device/iOS Version the user is running. If you use storyboards, then it will automatically resize your app content depending on whether the screen has retina support, and the size of the screen. In addition, you can have a storyboard for iPad, so that when you run the app it will use the iPad version. It also will change the app icons. Just go to the project settings and scroll down until your get to the icons and lunch images.
Now, if you mean you want to change how your app works using the source code directly, then there is no easy to way to manage it. Your best bet is to go with Storyboards, as it makes it very easy to resize content depending on what device your using.
I've finished up my first iOS 5 app (and only third iOS app overall) and I'm wondering if anyone out there has any recommendations for adding that touch of class, polish, professionalism, etc. to a plain-vanilla iOS app. I've taken a look at an iOS 5 appearance tutorial but I don't find it extremely helpful. What do you do to add polish to your UI? For example, do you add a logo view in your UINavigationBar? Do you create custom UIKit control backgrounds/images? Do you remove rounded edges from controls? I would especially appreciate any input related to how you use the new Appearance options in iOS 5 to accomplish your UIX goals.
For inspiration, look at the apps featured by Apple in the App store. Maybe hire an artist or designer familiar with iOS devices and their users (if you are not one yourself). There seem to be lots of creative ways to potentially "delight" the user, customize things for your specific app's purpose or customer base, but still stay within the spirit of the HIG.
I'm working on an iPhone application that uses pulsating buttons and displays a clock.. so I need to synchronize the pulsating buttons with one another and with the clock display..
I'm no Core Animation expert, but so far the only synchronization mechanisms I have found work between CALayers of the same view. Am I missing something or is there really no way of synchronizing animations between views and with external events?
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
BTW the app is specifically developed for iOS 5 should that make any difference.
Just answered something very similar recently. You'll need to use theCAMediaTimingprotocol. For more details and links to Apple's great video on this subject see my answer to this post:
