Does anybody know how to show a color bar below the status bar (just like "return to call" when call minimized)? I need to do the same thing with my app, but my app is not a audio, music, VoIP, or location related app. I want to show to the user when app is minimized and the be able to just click the status and go back to app.
That is not possible in iOS. Sorry :(

I want the screen to lunch like taxi booking app for driver when new request is coming so how to do that by flutter
I'm pretty sure you can't do that in Flutter, anyway not in any cross-platform way as Apple does not allow that.
Your best bet would be to send a notification that the user presses and which in turn will open the app.
If that something you would consider ?
I'm developing an app that works with sensitive information.
One of the requirements is that when a user puts the app in background the content that the app is currently displaying has to be hidden, so if another person navigate through the apps in background he can't see the last screen where the user was.
Any ideas on how to do that?
I tried to show an overlay when the app moves to AppLifecycleState.paused, but it doesn't work for me, the app prints a message if I want but it can't update the UI.
Edit
Shameless plug: i did a library for doing just that as I also needed it:

Build is not called after paused, at least on Android.
For Android I used a flutter_windowmanager package (modified to still be able to build on IOS):

When my app need securing I add the flag secure:
FlutterWindowManager.addFlags(FlutterWindowManager.FLAG_SECURE)
And my app is now a black screen in the app switcher.
You should still hide content your way for when the user get back to the app.
Otherwise you can go native:

I am developing an IOS game. As in many IOS games, I hide the status bar and never show it at any point. My app includes a feature to download new application data stored in moderately large files on my server. The problem is: how do I indicate network activity to the user when downloading is in progress? The standard approach is to display the network activity indicator in the status bar, but the status bar is hidden in my app. Of course, I want to conform to Apple User Interface Guidelines and pass the App Store review process.
Why don't you show a loader element inside the app? Something like this:
I sure you can choose any way to inform user about that. But you should also update standard indicator because it becomes visible when your app becomes hidden (if you want to download in background).
I have an iOS app and I need to get the home page screenshot before app launching. can I do that?
No. You can't fire events before the app launches, and even if you could, there'd be no way to get a screenshot of the springboard since there's no way to get its graphics context.
Sorry: to get a screenshot of the home screen on iPad, just press home button + power button, simoultaneously. Or I misunderstood the question ?
Is it possible to run full screen iAds in App.
In the Words with Friends app there seems to be a random timer which when it goes off it acts like the user clicked on the iAd.
Is there a way to open the add in full screen programmatically?
Words with Friends uses ads by Greystripe. This isn't possible with iAds ads.
