I have an IOS app in which a custom image is loaded in a view. I want the image to have
the same look and feel, the glossyness, roundness that we find on the Iphone/Ipad home screen
for different apps.
How can I get that effect for a custom image ? Is there any api for that ?

I am working with xamarin forms and now I am seting the IOS splash image in the splash.storyboard... I followed some tutorials and I setted "W any x H any" and "generic" in the configurations required...The image appears, it is a background image. The problems is: If I select the GENERIC option, the image is too large and in the iphone it doesnt seem good...I need a Scalable Splah image, how can I do that?
I am using windows for it...but I can use a mac too.
You can add an ImageView into the ViewController instead of setting the BackgroundImage of the root view. With this, you can have the flexibility to set constraint according to your needs. You can learn more about auto layout HERE.
In addition, you can also set image with different resolution in iPhone and iPad inside your asset catalog.
I have developed and published one TVOS app. In my app project, I put icon images, launch image and top shelf image. I also put two screenshots in the app configuration part on the developer.apple.com.
Now the app is online. The top shelf image is fine when the app is in focus. But the top shelf image is not used as the background image in the App introduction part in the App Store. I want to get the full background like the game app. Where shall I configure that image and what is the dimension of the image? Thanks in advance! I attach images to make my questions more clear.
My app looks like this when it is focused on the Apple TV. I want to use this topshelf image for the app introduction background.
But it looks like this in the app store. I don't want to see the screenshot on the right side of the screen. There is no background image at the introduction part.
I want to get the full-background for the introduction page like this app.
You have no control over that. Only apps selected by Apple's App Store editors are given the privilege to have a customized App Store page.
Note, the standard background on the Apple TV App Store, is created automatically based on your app's icon. It's a large, blurred out version of your icon. So in your case, you see that red line, and a lot of white, which is exactly what you have in your icon.
I have an iPhone app that has to show web content on top of it.(an webview on top)
Normally I would make the webview transparent and then I simply see what is beneath. That is ok, but not entirely.
I would like to be able to set a Chroma Key = a color that the webview will make transparent so that I see my app beneath.
Is this even possible in iPhone webviews? Thanks,
Neal
im new to ipad/iphone development. what are some ways to skin an ipad app? (eg: the notes app that came with the iPad) Is there any tutorials or code samples?
I think the question has to do with skinning your own apps instead of skinning Apple's pre-existing apps. Assuming this:
Any buttons can be easily skinned with images. Just add the image to your XCode project. Then, select the button in Interface Builder and in the attributes inspector you can choose the image there.
You can skin other views by adding UIImageView's that cover the whole view and then moving them into the background of the layout.
My app Rith uses all of the standard controls, but everything is skinned.
Is there a way to create buttons similar to the glossy icon-buttons on the home screen on the iphone but in your own app? The only thing i've found to create image button is to create rounded rect-buttons and set the image or background property on it, but that does not automatically create the glossy surface and rounding.
You'll need to use images. Apple doesn't make the glossy UIGlassButton class public.
If you're after buttons the same size as on the home screen, on black background, you could just set the image as your Icon.png, install the app in the simulator, take a screenshot of the home screen with the generated glossy icon, cut the icon out, and repeat the whole process with the rest of your icons.
Maybe simpler, if you don't have Icon.png set in your app, you'll get the white button on the home screen. Take a screenshot of that, and use it in a layer in Photoshop or similar to lighten up the underlying layer with your icon.
If you need buttons with other sizes, have a look at this blog entry on Cocoa with Love. Those buttons don't look exactly like the ones on the home screen, but you might be happy with that look, or modify the code to your taste.
