Multitasking / Slide over / Split View in iOS 9

Hello,


some aspects of these new features aren t really clear to me...


- Is it mandatory to support Multitasking / Slide over / Split view? I read in the documentation, which says you should, Apple and users will expect you to... But in my case, my App UI is absolutely not designed to support it. My User Interface just needs the space, I can t shrink the UI to that compact size and dynamically size changing thing, I can t even support portrait on iPad, it s landscape only. So what will happen in iOS 9? If I do nothing, will my app just not work / not be selectable in this split view / Slide over mode? Or will the UI just be messed up? If I don t want / just can t because of UI design aspects support that Split view / Slide over feature, I could set a Boolean in Plist I read? but will this be approved or will I be forced to support it? I guess my app is not the only one that just does not work in that dynamically sizeable compact view Split mode thingy size / sizes.. .!?


- Another thing I wonder is, what happens to ad banners and interstitials in this context? My app uses ad banner and interstitial ads. How is this gonna work, if my app is shown in the compact custom sized split view /Slide over view ?


Thanks for help

If the app doesn't support it - it doesn't show up in the 'split view' app switching mode.


In other words, only apps that support split view will show up as an available option.

Tested on iPad Air running iOS 9 beta 1


Unsure about add banners and interstitial.

thanks so far, ! this means if my app doesn t support it, at least my UI doesn t get messed up... Still wondering about approval, if it s "ok" to just not support it even if your app is not a fullscreen game or so, and if a large numer of apps just won t support it... Also if I have to set this Bool in Plist ( forgot name, something like app needs fullscreen)... And still wondering about how ads should work in that scenario...

I'm glad you also raise the issue regarding iAd banners.


The Apple test suite just shows normal sized banners and cuts them off - no size adaption.


I'm wrestling with this for days and can't find any hint on it.
