iPadOS 17.7.7

Use the CATransition animation to let the user scroll through the pages of a tutorial.Now in iPadOS 13.6 beta 2 this causes screen to black out for a second before the next page is shown.Does not happen with kCATransitionFade but will all other animation types.I use the kCATransitionPush with subtypes kCATransitionFromRight and kCATransitionFromLeft.Code:CATransition *animation = [CATransition animation]; [animation setDuration:0.4]; [animation setType:kCATransitionPush]; [animation setSubtype:kCATransitionFromRight]; [animation setTimingFunction:[CAMediaTimingFunction functionWithName:kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut]]; [[slidingView layer] addAnimation:animation forKey:nil];

I'm experimenting with trackpad support on iPadOS and want access to the raw touch points of the trackpad, just as I can get the touch points for touchscreen input. Is this possible and, if not, will it be supported in a future iPadOS version?

Lot of new iOS/iPadOS versions add new bugs at the OS level for home screen web apps (standalone apps). For example, on latest versions, when you search the shortcut in the hone screen, it appears but when clicked, it opens the URL in Safari and not within the standalone experience. This is just one example of many (some of them reported for years, some other maybe not reported), but it feels that with every Safari version or iOS/iPad version no one is making a basic UI test over home screen web apps. These issues seems simple to solve if someone takes ownership of the platform and decide to test it on every new version

Service Workers are difficult to debug without proper tooling. Current tools available in Safari makes it difficult to understand the lifecycle of the SW, the Cache Storage contents, to reload or remove registration and other actions. It's even more difficult when doing remote debugging to an iOS or iPadOS device where the Service Workers appears as a different context without proper explanation.

Are there any plans to provide an API to manage shortcut icons in the Home Screen. Currently only Safari and Shortcuts apps can create more icons in the home screen but there are many use cases where making shortcuts with a deep link into an app is actually a good idea. It's also something expectable on a more desktop-like experience such as the one today on iPadOS

In the new 2020 forum software, is there a way to sort search results by date, rather than whatever the sort order is now (presumably some sort of 'relevancy' score)? Is it possible to limit search results to a specific tag? Is it possible to view an intersection of tags (e.g. iPadOS and Beta)? Apologies if this has already been asked, but it's difficult to find things here :)

What is the correct naming for iOS & iPadOS apps when you are implementing AlternateIcons ? In addition, do you need to delete assets catalogue when you offer alternate icons? I have seen that it is enough to have 2x and 3x icons but what about settings and notifications? Here is my file list and Info.plist section. <key>CFBundleIcons</key> <dict> tt<key>CFBundleAlternateIcons</key> tt<dict> tttt<key>dark</key> tttt<dict> tttttt<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key> tttttt<false/> tttttt<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key> tttttt<array> tttttttt<string>dark</string> tttttt</array> tttt</dict> tttt<key>original</key> tttt<dict> tttttt<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key> tttttt<false/> tttttt<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key> tttttt<array> tttttttt<string>original</string> tttttt</array> tttt</dict> tt</dict> tt<key>CFBundlePrima

Background ============================== I'm building a small application currently targeting macOS 10.15, but might add iPadOS support in the future. This application is an API client for a server from another company. I have no control over the format of the returned data. This server stores and processes simple data objects, most of which would be created by the user. Each object is canonically identified by a UUID. A single server can never have two items with the same UUID, so it's great for uniquely tracking objects within a single instance of the server. The problem is a single organization may have as many as ~30 instances of this server. While they mostly store data the user specifies, they come with around 8000 pre-defined items. The pre-defined items have static UUIDs, which are the same from one instance to another. These pre-defined items are mutable, so a single UUID may not represent the same object configuration from one server instance to another. The server has a concept of session

it's rumored that Xcode is coming to iPadOS, maybe announcement in WWDC? If so, could an iPad Pro completely replace a Mac? The iPad Pro performance would be more than enough for Xcode so could be the iPad become the go-to platform for programming? Maybe more IDEs for iPadOS in the future?

What's the best practices recommendation for creating new projects? In Xcode it seems I could go either way, either an iOS/iPadOS app and select the 'Mac' checkbox (Catalyst) or use the new Universal app template which creates specific iOS and Mac targets. They both use SwiftUI, so it's not 100% clear what the 'correct' way to go.
