I recently discovered the new "container view" in XCode 4.5 Developer Preview and wondered whether this is the proper way to use it:
Have a look at the Stanford IOS 6 programming course, 2013, on iTunes U. Paul Gregory, a superb presenter, gives a very good lecture covering the use of Container controls.

I've been testing my Xamarin app on IOS 14 beta 5, and I saw that there is a new privacy feature, where you can control what photos to share with your app. I am using an UIImagePickerController to display the photos, but right now I get all photos(even though I selected only some to be used by my app), and when trying to select one that was not in my selection, the app crashes.(PHImageManager.DefaultManager.RequestImageData return back wiht error code -1 in this case)
My question is, will there be some new features in the next Xamarin iOS framework to support this functionality?
Because I've been reading on the IOS developer forum that they are planning to have a new PHAuthorizationStatus-> PHAuthorizationStatusLimited, and maybe based on this status, we could filter our pictures.
Or is there currently a way to filter the photos I present on my UIImagePickerController?
Thanks
Apparently, in Xamarin.iOS 13.99.0, they introduced the new status: PHAuthorizationStatus.Limited, and also a new type PhotosUI.PHPickerViewController(since UIImagePickerController is obsolete, we will need to use the new PHPicker ).
More details on added or changed types are found here:

If anyone needs to use this version of Xamarin.IOS, they can find it in Visual Studio->"Check For Options"->"Xcode 12 Preview" (Visual Studio 2019 For Mac).
Maybe someone will find this useful.
There used to be a button called "stay in front" in older versions of ios simulater. I used this often, but in recent updates it seems to be removed. Is there a any way to activate this feature ?
new window menu
old window menu
The option "Stay In Front" for simulator staying on top of all windows is removed from Xcode9 update. Many developers will heartbreak with this including me, but we all know apple has no mercy on developers, and this is not the new thing, we all experience this kind of many things from years. Sorry mates its truth to digest.
Made a report. Please support it, as we all need this functionality
Update 11.01.2018:
Apple closed it as duplicate with no further info. Thank you, Apple.
Update 26.09.2020
They brought it back in Xcode Version 12.0.1 (12A7300)
Thank you, Apple!
Update your Xcode to : v12.0.1
I try to use xcode storyboard designer & xamarin ios designer on the same storyboard and I am experiancing some issues/inconsitencies . Does any one has experience to make it work or could recommend me to not mix both designer ?
You should be able to switch between Xcode's Interface Builder and the iOS Designer at will, without issue so it sounds like you are running into an edge case.
Would you mind filling a bug report at Bugzilla against the iOS Designer explaining the issue, and if possible attach the Storyboard in issue?
Is it possible to 'simulate interface' in xcode 4.6? The command seems to be missing :-(
I am using Xcode 5 and you can find this feature under Editor-> Simulate Document (not the Edit menu) as others have pointed out.
However, this feature is only available for Mac xibs and is not available for iOS xibs.
I am guessing this was probably the same situation in Xcode 4.6 back when the question was originally asked, hence the confusion in the other questions and comments.

It seems, NO
In xcode 4.6, you can find from menu bar:
Editor (NOT Edit) menu >> Simulate Document
This one may be helped :)
am reading "SAMS Teach Yourself iPad Application Development in 24 hours", in this book it got a section on tabbars (UITabBarController) where you need to link the UITabBarController component in Interface Builder to the application delegate via the Document window but in my case in XCode 4.5 (iOS 6) there is no application delegate listed in Interface Builder in Xcode... Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
I supose the book is out of date, xcode changed a lot with the 4.2 version.
I recomend you the 3rd edition of iOS Programming: big nerd ranch guide, it is updated.
Or look for an updated version of your book, if it's an ebook, they maybe send you the new version for free.
