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).

I have a page view controller embedded inside a container view in order to swipe between images. But now I am trying to add a touch that will make the image go full screen "lightbox" with zoom available and also swipe through the images while in full screen mode.
I can get it to work, and messing around with auto layout seems to be much work consider I have a lot of other stuff in that VC.
So does anyone know a good image slider from github written in swift? - without the need of cocopods.
thanks!
It's easy enough to write one yourself. In full-screen mode, use another UIPageViewController, because it already has the swipe left & right support built in.
I want to add some animation after my Default.png is no longer necessary. I know that I will do it in application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions but my question what format animation should be and how to load it?
There is a plenty app with beautiful animations right after default. But i can't figure out how it works.
For example: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bump/id305479724?mt=8 this is what i want to do. First static png, but when my app will be in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions i want to do some animated stuff like in Bump. How can i do that?
Yes, i know i didn't try anything so far, but i really don't know where to start it.
It will depend on your demands. If you want to load a video already done, take a look at here.
If you want to just create animations from objects of your design you can study a little from core animation. I won't explain everything because as you will see.. it's a lot of documentation for it. You can even create your OpenGL animations and play it.
You can start your vid, on your viewDidLoad in the first view, after the splash screen disappears.
EDIT: a nice tutorial.
I'd like to customize my UIToolBar, so the centered button looks something similar to the check-in foursquare button.
I've seen a commercial source code called ALToolBar, wich is similar to the effect I want on my UIToolBar. So in resume, changing the height of a button, and the background of a specific button, if that is the right way to go.
I'm pretty new to iOS, but comfortable enough to dig ideas the community can bring on.
Thanks for your help.
One approach is to just write your own Tabbar/Toolbar instead of using the built-in classes. Subclass UIView and add UIButtons for each item, which you can then customize as you wish.
The downside to this approach is, you loose the "More" functionality, that allows you to drag-and-drop items into the Tabbar, but if you just have 5 or fewer items, that's fine.
I've got a tabbed iPad application with just about each tab running a UIWebView. I'm getting all sorts of callbacks, like when a user tries to leave the corporate site (which only displays the company site to users). In this case, I pop up a "toast" style window that tells them to click a button to open the page in Safari. I also pop it up with a spinner and no text to indicate that a page is loading. The approximate look that I'm going for is used in lots of applications, but you can see it best when changing the volume on the iPhone or iPad. It's just a translucent rounded square that fades in and out.
Right now I've got it implemented on one of my tabs, and I did it by creating the objects (a spinner, a label, and a UIImage with the square) and then programmatically hiding and showing them using [UIView beginAnimations] and changing the label's text. It works perfectly but I've got these nagging things hovering over my interface in Xcode, and it takes a lot of setup to accomplish if I wanted it to be in another tab, which I do. I can't help but think that there's a better way to accomplish this. I thought about making and adding a subview, but that would leave a white background to the toast. What I'm thinking is creating some sort of object that I can allocate in a tab's view controller whenever it's needed.
What are your guys ideas, or have you done this in the past? I see it in a lot of prominent applications, like Reeder, so I'm sure it's been done more eloquently than I have done it.
Matt Gallagher has a great class called LoadingView here Showing message over iPhone Keyboard. I use it.
MBProgressHUD is a popular library for this, as well.
I am trying to design a feature in my application for the iPhone that simulates the Springboard feature (Main menu of the iPhone that allows you to view more apps), or the way Weather application works that allows you to flip between views.
Does anyone have any samples of this how I would go about doing this. It's seems very trivial but I am wondering if I am missing something that is already available either as an Apple example or someone who did a tutorial on this.
The image below show how the user would use it.

As they slide their finger to the right (or left) the other image would begin to show up. And it would animate smoothly. The faster you swiped your finger the faster it would move to the next view.
Update: The other feature is that it should mimic the same feel when you slide your hand across the display that is snaps to the current view into place. It should not keep sliding across if there is more than 1 view to the direction you swiping your finger.
I've seen other applications use this so that is why I am asking.
This is accomplished using the UIScrollView with the pagingEnabled property set to true. Just add each of your views, adjust the contentSize, and it will automatically "page" to the width of the screen across the content.
There is a sample app (with code) with exactly this functionality on the iPhone developer site on Apple.com (I believe it's called "PageControl".) - I'd suggest checking it out.
d.
I'm writing an app that uses a similar UI. As NilObject recommended, we're using a UIScrollView with pagingEnabled=YES.
You may also be interested in this example code involving just two child views. I'm trying it out now; it's an interesting technique but I've had to write some additional special-casing code for some odd situations that resulted.
There's also another question on this site that asks about creating a grid of icons like the home screen.
I would check out Joe Hewitt's code from the Three20 project for this. It provides a nice interface and further refinement of the UIScrollView implemented as TTScrollView and TTScrollViewDelegate, TTScrollViewDataSource.
