I want to know how to create a custom tvOS screensaver. Ideally in Swift. If there is no such thing yet (macOS has ScreenSaverView for example) please tell me if there is another way to create a custom screensaver
No that is unfortunately not possible to do today with tvOS. You have to use the built-in ones.

I just learned about UICollectionView after creating the same functionality in a custom class. So I am thinking about using deleting all that code I wrote and just using UICollectionView.
I know my app gets a lot of installs on iOS 5. And I know a lot non tech savvy friends and family still have it installed.
I googled this and it says I can use some other's guys library(another thing I should have known before writing my custom class). But the answer was not definitive.
So my question is, does Apple include a bridge for iOS 5 or will my app just fail if I use UICollectionView?
I have my target deployment set to 5.0 and it is not giving me any warnings.

UICollectionView is iOS6 only. You can include extra code to check for iOS6 and use your custom class on iOS5. But there is no way to use an actual UICollectionView in iOS5.'
Thats what that "other guy's library" does. It has an iOS5 compliant clone of UICollectionView and checks based on the OS which to use.
Maybe you want to try this as an alternative:

I wanted to know if there is a open source UI library in objective c for grid view like in ted.com or tile.js which is also an open source library for metro style UI used in apps like pulse.me.
Basically I want a grid view with cells of different sizes! I want to make something it on iOS for both iPad and iPhone.
Thanks.
In iOS 6.0 your best choice would be UICollectionView.
UICollectionView is available in Available in iOS 6.0 and later and therefore cannot be used if you want to support earlier version.
And as per your requirement you need to display a GridView
So to support earlier versions and get other cool features you can use other libraries here are some of the options:
1) KKGridView
2) UIGridView
3) AQGridView
4) NRGridView
5) MMGridView
6) WCGridView
I am currently using AQGridView so surely i recommend that as it is the least buggy and its functions are very similar to UITableView.
Also that If you are trying to do this without XIB it will be little bit difficult for you to handle it but you can create a view controller with Xib file to Create the interface of your choice. Here is the Video of how it can be done in the best possible way by Evadne Wu. And here is the Sample Project
I can't see how this is possible from the documentation but here nike is doing it in their app so there must be a way.
It's impossible unfortunately. Apple developed it for Nike, so they used tricks of their own to do it. It might actually be possible, but it's certainly undocumented if possible. Impossible for an App Store app. Let us know if you figure out a way to do it even if it's undocumented.
If you use the library InAppSettingsKit, you can have a setting that uses a custom subview (a custom UIViewController) to display the choice to the user. So all you have to do is to create a custom view controller that looks just the one in your picture (it's basically just a UITableView and a UIPickerView).
In the example app that comes along with InAppSettingsKit, there is an example on how to use a custom subview.
Anyone knows how they did this UI keyboard:

Thanks,

The only way to tell if it is a custom UIView is to see if it lacks the features of the normal keyboard. I simply cannot believe anyone completely duplicated the keyboard feature for feature just to change the tint of it.
If it is not a custom UIView, then that leaves only one other option: private API calls. Is this app on the App Store? Private APIs are a no-no of course so I doubt this is the standard keyboard and available on the App Store.
UPDATE:
Of course, now we have Extensions with iOS 8 and you can create your own custom keyboards. It doesn't help make creating a keyboard any easier.
Yes, seems to be a custom UIView with Custom UIButtons.
M a new comer to iPhone world ,i want to use NSComboBox(DropDown list somewhere) in my application. but not having any idea....m totally blank about NSCombobox...could any one guide me..Thank you.....
The iOS Cocoa Touch framework doesn't include anything like an NSComboBox. You might want to look into using the combination of a UITextField plus a "pop-up" UIPickerView for list selection.
NSComboBox does not exist on the iPhone. It's part of the AppKit framework, which means it only exists on the Mac. The iPhone's GUI framework is called UIKit.
You could always write your own.
Maybe you open wrong project style. Because NSComboBox is under Mac Application.
You should use project for iPhone application.
