smb big sur

All of the documentation I've read is for full screen apps. Is it possible to do a simple overlay over another app. i.e. Show a stock ticker at the bottom of let's say netflix or overlay a small timer so I don't burn the pizza while watching hulu?I'm a big fan of the today widget for iOS and would love to see some of that same functionality with the tvOS. (not constantly on the screen, but a simple swipe up on the remote for game scores, stock updates, etc.)

Apple didn't seem to discuss how iPad apps would work with the iPad Pro. I understand that with auto layout and multitasking that apps can adapt to the larger size, which has the exact same ratio. But surely the current iPad apps on the App Store will look absurd on the screen that big, buttons and text will be huge and so I guess new size classes will be added to Xcode.I can see in Xcode that we can opt for fullscreen only apps (for a narrow window of apps (personally that window seems to narrow to me)). Anyway, I was hoping there would be an option to assign an iPad app to be available as either, only iPad and iPad Mini, only iPad Pro or both.Does anyone have any further information on this?Thanks in advance.

Is it just me, or is the way that tvOS MVCs are visualised in Xcode storyboards seem way too big? By that I mean, way too zoomed in to interact with in the way you can interact with MVCs for other devices. Even doing something as simple as dragging a button to the centre of the view becomes non-trivial when everything is so zoomed in. This's an issue because the storyboard UI in Xcode is modal, and goes into a kind of non-interactive mode when you zoom out to see the MVC at a more reasonable size.I'm asking about this in case I'm missing something obvious. Is there a way to make TV MVCs appear on the storyboard in interactive mode at a reasonabe size?

Since upgrading to iOS 9 I have this strange issue with image atlases on my spriteKit game.In my game I have a StartScene, a MenuScene and a GameScene. In all 3 scenes I am using atlases for my enemies so I can animate them. All worked fine on all devices but since upgrading iOS 9 it causes me issues on iPads.On my iPad when I launch the game the enemies in StartScene are about 3 times as big as they should be. Whats strange is that when I move to menuScene or gameScene the enemies are normal size. When I tell my game to launch straight into MenuScene I have the same problem, enemies are way to big until I change to another scene. This happened as soon as I run my game on iOS 9 and even after I upgraded to swift 2 and Xcode 7 I am still having this issue.Anyone seeing this too, I have no clue what could cause this and how to fix it. Is this just a terrible iOS 9 bug?Thanks for any help.

With WatchOS1 I had to develop a watchkit extension that basically replicated all the networking connectivity (NSStream, Bonjour, ect) options in my iOS app, this was a pretty big undertaking but we did it.. In WatchOS2, I now have to scrap all that and switch to WatchConnectivity so I can use the networking from my iOS app. If this were the model in the beginning, it would have been significatly easier to have developed our first Watch app. So now there is a significant amount of work to rewrite everything to work with WatchConnectivity, which would have been a much better model to use from day 1. However, we are hesitant to do that because we feel like next year Apple is going to implement native networking in WatchOS 3 and then we’ll have to basically rewrite everything again. It would have made so much more sense for Apple to include networking with WatchOS 2, which would have allowed our app to be used untethered. Not sure what to do now.

I am interested to hear what others are doing to manage the restrictions of system integrity protection. I've so far identified 3 distinct instances in which SIP will impact current workflow considerations. Luckily, one of the conditions appears to be rectified in the GM release (user template modification). Obviously, in most of these cases, SIP can be disabled, the changes can be made, and then it can be enabled. But, this means that every machine in the fleet must be individually touched in order to accomplish the tasks. Or we fall back to monolithic imaging which seems to be out of favor, especially when considering DEP, JAMF, and other management solutions.Here are the issues I've identified so far:1: Time Machine Execution IntervalA one hour execution interval for consumers may be appropriate when all they are doing is email and web browsing. But for content creative customers using Time Machine server or locally attached Time Machine volumes, every hour is too aggressive and can result in filled TM vol

Hi,I was wondering if anyone could give some tips on how to achieve this:I have a tableview with a number of cells.Each UITableCiewCell subclass has a UICollectionView with horizontal flowlayout (and scroll) -- pretty much like some big VOD provider, that shall remain unnamed here, does in their current (old) Apple TV app.How can i get the tableviewcells to not get focus and while passing on, allowing focus to go to individual collectionview cells? Is this possible?( tableView:canFocusRowAtIndexPath: does not seem to do it, would have been really nice if this would just allow the collectionview's cells to get focus.. )
