i'm trying to implement new "quick menu widget" in iOS 10 available with 3dtouch.
My app has multiple today extension and apple guidelines report
If your app has multiple widgets, pick one to appear in the quick action menu that appears when someone applies pressure to your app icon on the Home screen using 3D Touch.
I don't understand where i can "change" that!
With only one widget all works as well.
There is a new Info.plist key UIApplicationShortcutWidget which you need to set to the bundle identifier of your widget.
See the documentation at: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/iPhoneOSKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009252-SW32

Does anybody know, how to change the appearance of the title bar and/or toolbar of a simple & small one-window cocoa macOS application without accessing the Xcode or installing third party applications? It's for a screen recording video project, I want to do.
I know, that there are possibilities within the applications info.plist (for example changing the app title inside the top macOS Menu Bar) but I would like to be able to change the apps window title itself and/or colors and/or fonts inside the window title bar or toolbar if possible.
Opening the app in another container window or via terminal or Applescript and adding custom parameters or even an overlay in the right position to change the styling would be okay if this is possible?
Can somebody point me in the right direction?
Thank you very much!
in short: Nibs
Nib File Viewer works until Xcode 10
saving, recompiling if possible
good luck
I am doing a minimal port of a simple iPhone/iPad app (think 2D casual game with a single view) to the Mac (almost nothing has changed in the UI, except swapping touchable Cocoa Touch UI elements for mouse-clickable Cocoa UI elements). In the iPhone app, a little "i" button brings up a text view containing basic instructions, followed by all the required (possibly lengthy) BSD/MIT/Apache/Artistic/et.al. copyright notices and their associated disclaimers for any random borrowed code.
The ported Mac app is intended to be distributed from the Mac App store, so additional README files outside the app bundle/sandbox can't be used. I note that many Mac App store apps do not put this text in the About... box, or use a little "i" button like iPhone apps.
So where do I put the equivalent README text in a Mac App Store app?
I would like this text to be included with the Mac app so that it's viewable from within the app even when the Mac is completely off-line.
ADDED:
I see recommendations for putting all this text in the About... dialog, but, if so, my guess is that many apps are skimping on all the required text that seems to go with many of these licenses (I've seen a few with a page or two of required disclaimers. Which Mac app has all that in the About... dialog?)
Just put a Credits.html or Credits.rtf file in your bundle, it'll automatically be displayed in the dialog that's shown after clicking the "About MyApp" item in the main menu.
Usually, a Mac app includes an «About» window, with the application's icon, name, version number and author.
If you have credits to display, you may display them on that window, if it's only a few lines.
If you have a long text, you should add a «credits» button on the «About» window, that eventually opens a specific credits window, with the text you want.
I want inside my app to create new "shortcut icon" in the same iPhone, where every icon has a dynamic image that I create. Is it possible using iOS?
According to my searches (see this answer) the only possible way is to launch safari from my app and there ask the user to press "+" button inserting your url scheme.
Don't believe this is possible. To do this, you would have to, at least change the icon in your app bundle (Naïvely assuming iOS doesn't cache the icons).
Your app only has access to the "Documents" directory.
You can set a numerical badge on an icon - might this work for you? If so, take a look at local notifications in the notifications guide: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Introduction/Introduction.html
I'm currently working on my first iOS application to run on the iPad, and I've come across a problem. I have been asked to implement menu's similar to the ones in the default applications such as when you click on the "Calendars" button in the top left of the calendars app.
Only issue is, I cant seem to find a standard UI object that looks like these, with the arrow connecting the menu to the button etc. Is this a standard UI component that I should be able to use, or will I have to imitate them by creating a custom object?
Thanks for any help.
That is a UIPopoverController. There isn't an Interface Builder control for this. You need to create one programmatically:
UIPopoverController *popover = [[UIPopoverController alloc]initWithContentViewController:someTableViewController];
See the documentation for more information and sample projects, specifically ToolbarSearch:
How could I make an NSWindow's title bar look like that of the Mac App Store or of the app Feeder where it's height is increased and other controls are show in it.
To see what I mean just check out the website for the Mac App Store : http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/.
Is it a custom NSWindow or is it a completely borderless window with an NSView made to look like the title bar?

Title bar and traffic light customization for NSWindow
INAppStoreWindow is an NSWindow subclass that was originally developed to mimic the appearance of the main window in the Mac App Store application introduced in OS X 10.6.6.
The MAS application has since transitioned away from this design, but INAppStoreWindow is still being actively developed to provide extensive additional customization options for NSWindow title bars...
For iTunes (v9.x) Apple used no toolbar, but custom aligned icons and controls in the top bar, to achieve a similar effect. (see link below)
The window looks like a "textured & unified title and toolbar" window to me. (or a slight variant of such)
To reposition the traffic light buttons follow my answer to this question.
However, as Dave DeLong already (similarly) commented: "The UI is terrible. Please don't even think about it."
You can also take a look at http://orestis.gr/blog/2007/09/24/messing-with-windows/ . This uses some undocumented stuff, though, so it won't actually get approved FOR the App Store.
