Guys from Apple who talked in 2 sessions dedicated to iMessage app and Stickers showed few demos all using iOS Simulator, but as we know it doesn't emulate camera features. When trying to install iMessage extension on real device it just opens iMessage app with latest received message without being able to tap on "Message App Store" button. I'm interested in testing my extension on real device because it's using device camera, but couldn't make it work.
Thanks.
It was a bug. After updating device to iOS 10 beta 4 and Xcode to version 8 beta 4, the extension is installed and running on device.

Hey everyone so I have an iPhone 4(I know old) and I am trying to publish my app using Adobe Air for IOS 26.0. My computer and iTunes recognizes the apple device perfectly but when I try to publish it in Animate where it says "Install application on connected IOS device" mine doesn't show up at all. I tried restarting the device and computer and tried multiple USB cables as well. Nothing is working. Please any help is appreciated.
Updating AIR won't fix this as the process of detecting a device is through Animate, not AIR. I can confirm Animate can still detect iPhone 4. Mine is running iOS 7.1.2
Try connecting in this order:
Launch Animate
Unlock your iPhone
Connect your iPhone via USB
Debug Menu > Debug Movie > On Device via USB > Refresh Device List
I'm building Sticker messaging application. When I try to run the app on iPhone SE simulator with iOS 10 it throws a window to select application through which Sticker app extension should run.
However, in this list there is Siri, Today and Watch app only. There is no Message app. This was working when tested on last week.
Due to this Sticker messaging app extension cannot be tested on iMessage app on simulator.
Why this is happening?
This is probably just a bug in the beta. I've found that this happens with the iPhone SE simulator but the iPhone 6S simulator works fine.
To solve this, if you run the app with one of the other options, the option to launch the Messages app should be available the next time you run the application. So run the app in the simulator, select Siri, and open the Messages app manually. Next time you run the application the option for Messages should be available.
Also you aren't running the latest Xcode beta. The latest version is Xcode 8 beta 4.
Having individual license and trying to run it with iOS device emulator.
Installed updated smartface-in-action in my iPhone 5
Connected iPhone 5 with USB
Selected "iOS" from profile dropdown and clicked on "Device Emulator".
But, it's saying 'Device found'... Keep calm ;)
Can any one suggest or help me to get out from this issue.
This is because of iOS restrictions. It is not possible to make changes on an application which is downloaded from store.
Therefore, for licenced users Smartface has a solution, you can send email to support team of smartface and ask for this editable application's download link.
In WWDC 2015 it is mentioned that watch supports native apps but I fail to see the option in new Xcode 7 for the way to just build an apple watch app without the companion app. Please let me know the way to do so, if it exists.
In fact, watchOS apps are linked to the iOS companion app.
In both versions, each watchOS app has two targets: WatchKit App - which contains storyboard, icons, etc - and WatchKit Extension, which contains the code.
In watchOS 1 (old WatchKit) + iOS 8 combination, WatchKit App is installed on Apple Watch, and both WatchKit Extension and iOS app are installed on user's iPhone.
In other way, in watchOS 2 + iOS 9 combination, both WatchKit App and WatchKit Extension are installed on user's Apple Watch, and iOS App is the only code and view installed on iPhone.
Running iOS app only requires one target, so it can run without Apple Watch (since the first iPhone OS).
But running watchOS apps needs both WatchKit App and WatchKit Extension. In watchOS 1 (the old WatchKit) because one is on iPhone and other on Apple Watch, so running apps need connecting between them with Bluetooth, so you have to carry your iPhone nearby. In watchOS 2, both are on Apple Watch, so running apps does not need connecting to iPhone and having iPhone nearby. You can connect them with WatchConnectivity framework included in watchOS 2 SDK (in Xcode 7).
So in watchOS 2 apps can run standalone, but they are not standalone at all. They install on Apple Watch when installing on iPhone, and they can connect with each other. When you create a new watchOS App, you must include it with your iPhone app when submitting it to the iTunes Connect.
NOTE: This makes watchOS apps faster and more reliable.
You can't build native watch apps yet. Maybe in a later build of Xcode 7, but so far all Apple has announced is that "at some point in the near future" you will be able to build a native Watch app.
In watchOS 2, watch apps are "native" in the sense that the WatchKit extension now runs on the Apple Watch instead of the user's iPhone. This means it can no longer share data with the iPhone app using shared app groups but must instead use the new Watch Connectivity framework to pass data back and forth. It also means that watch apps can be much faster and much more capable without the phone being present.
However, a watch app must still be bundled with a companion iOS app, at least for this year.
In iOS 13 it's possible to create independent watchOS application. More information can be found here. You have to download Xcode 11 to be able to create independent watchOS application.
To create it simply go to File -> New -> Project and select watchOS -> App as it's shown on a screenshot:
I have been looking for a way to show the iPhone screen (not the simulator) on a monitor or projector for demo purposes.
Previous SO post suggested jailbreak (Veency, iDemo/DemoGod, screensplitr) or simulator.
Release notes iOS 3.2 (External Display Support) and iOS 4.0 (Inherited Improvements) mentions that it should be possible to connect external displays to iOS 4.0 devices.
Is it now possible to demo an iPhone device on a monitor without using the simulator, or are the release notes about other improvements?
Anyone tried to display an iOS 4.0 device on a projector or monitor?
Update 22.Jul.2010:
To mirror iPhone screen: Jailbreak
and use Veency, iDemo or
screensplitr
To output to
external device from your
application: Implement External Display Support in your app in iOS
3.2, 4.0
Update 15.Apr.2011 ;))
It is now possible to mirror iPad2 on a monitor
Update 1.Dec.2011:
It is now possible to mirror iPhone 4S on a monitor
The iPhone 4 supports the VGA adapter that launched with the iPad. Within your application, any external display appears as an additional UIScreen instance. You can create a UIWindow, associate it with the UIScreen, and place content there that you would like to have displayed on the secondary monitor.
I show how to do this in the video for the iPad session of my course on iTunes U, and provide some code for this in the course notes. Matt Gemmell also has a nice writeup on the subject.
http://code.google.com/p/iphoneos-screen-mirroring/ Has code to allow you to mirror your screen using the cables mentioned above. This code uses private apis so make sure you don't ship with it. This can be done by creating a new target in xcode and conditionally compiling the mirroring code in.
Check Apple Composite AV Cable and Apple Component AV Cable. These connect to a TV and computer so may be you can find a way to get it on a projector.
Since iPad 2 "The Apple VGA Adapter mirrors exactly what you see on iPad 2 so that everyone in the room can enjoy it." Same hardware that needs special coding on original iPad then on iPad 2 by default mirrors.
If you are using a smart TV as a monitor, you can use the AirPlay function. However, not all Smart TVs support this function. You can simply test it by connecting your iPhone and TV to the same network to see if you can use AirPlay. If not, you can try MirrorMeister's free mirroring app, it works on all iOS and macOS devices as long as you connect to the same Wi-Fi.
