After updation to ios5, all the tabbar icons and navigation images are not loading into iphone..I don't know wht the reason behing it?
Is there anything special with ios5 or I have to add images anywhere in my app?
in iOS 5 drawRect: is not on some objects e.g. UINavigationBar. You have to conditionally use the new iOS 5 styling methods under these circumstances.
This question and this question might be useful for you.

I know that we can call GSEventLockDevice (); from the GraphicsServices.framework to lock the screen in iOS 6 and older version, as explained by H2CO3 Here. But unfortunately it's not working in iOS 7.
My Question :
How to lock the iPhone Screen programmatically in iOS 7 ?
Note : I don't want this for Appstore.
Hi it's not possible in iOS7. You need special entitlement so until there will be a jailbreak you are out of luck
Cant you disable all the UIGestureRecognizers for the view? I do it for buttons all the time. It is the 'enabled' property for UIButtons. Im sure you can use something like this to achieve satisfactory results. For the view I think it is userInteractionEnabled property for views. Set your view userInteractionEnabled property to NO with a UISwitch.
I am using xib-s for my UITableViewCells on iPhone. Now I need to convert my app to universal app. Do I have to create new xib-s (looking exactly the same way) for the iPad version? My current problem is that I am using grouped UITableViews. As the left and right margins on both devices differ, some of the controls on iPad are partly "out of the cells".
In case I need new xib-s (looking exactly the same way), do I need separate properties for the controls in the ViewController? For example, for a label named myLabel, do I need a second property myLabelIpad or is there a better way to handle that?
Cheers
My suggestion is to create new xib. But if there are small changes , then you can maintain one xib. However it depends on how different your iPhone / iPad versions are. For example, if the iPad version is just a bigger version of the iPhone one with a few extra buttons, etc, it's easier to use one UIView and just set the frames of the subviews appropriately.
First understand what you are up to. How do you want your iPad app to look like? How does it navigate. Ceratinly you want to leverage from the lager screen of the ipad. When ever you do that and the auto-resizing mechanism is not sufficient (which it rarely is) then go for a separated xib file.
Second - for each XIB which hosts the same number and types of UIView and UIConrol subclasses, you should be able to use the same view controller for two separate XIBs. Just link all conrols within both XIB to the related IBOutlet properties and IBAction methods alike.
However, when you take leveraging from iPad capabilites seriously then you are like to end up with a different set of view controllers. That is when you can combine the controls of several iPad views wihin one single iPad view and similar cases.
Nevertheless, think of using popups. The content of a popup could nicely correlate to what is a full screen on the iPhone. In that case you can use the same view controller again within that popup container.
Does this sort of answer your question? If not, then please be more specific.
Actually you can retain the same Table cell xib files. You just have to get the Auto resizing masks of the cell and its subviews right.
Take a look at this picture:
I have something like a toolbar includes some buttons. user can move to left and right as you see. I know how to set the button in toolbar, but I don't know how can I fix this kind of navigation on the toolbar. Is it possible in the toolbar?
If yes, how?
if no, do you know any control in iOS that can help me?
It might be worth browsing through Cocoa Controls. They really have a lot of excellent pre-made custom controls for iOS and the Mac.
Personally, I would just create my own custom UIScrollView subclass which contains some UIButtons. Then set the scrollview to scrollView.pagingEnabled = YES after setting a correct content size.
Apple has an excellent guide on using scrollviews with paging here:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/WindowsViews/Conceptual/UIScrollView_pg/ScrollViewPagingMode/ScrollViewPagingMode.html
I have a iPhone app I want to convert to an universal app so it can run on iPad. I have tried to find information about how to do it, but I don't find anything that answers my question. I have upgraded the iphone target in xcode to ipad. Then I get a new MainWindow-iPad.xib.
But I have many viewcontrollers and I have made those with code, not xib's. Do I need to have a if-clause in the loadView method that loads different viewcontroller depending on if the user has a iPhone or iPad?
It kind of depends on how you've implemented your loadView methods and how you want your iPad version to differ from your iPhone app.
If you just want your app to use the full screen, you can mostly just check the size of the screen and size your views appropriately and use the autoresizing mask to deal with things when you change orientations.
There are a few gotcha's with this approach, though. For example, modal views can work differently (not taking up the whole screen) and, obviously, the keyboard is a different size.
If you want to use completely different views for your iPad app then, yes, you'll quite possibly have if statements that tell it to use completely different view controllers.
Yes you have to create all xib's for iPad and then you have to write if-clause for Ipad xib to be loaded.
The specific thing I am looking at doing can be found on the App Store Application when you view an App. The screenshots of an app can be swiped from left to right to view. From what I can tell they have a UITableView with different cells holding the content. And for that one UITableViewCell where the images are Swiped left and right they use a UIScrollView with paging enabled.
I know about ScrollingMadness and the TTScrollView Classes, but both are outdated. With 3.0 the SDK can handle the problem without much code. Also my app needs to be a universal binary for iPad and iPhone so Three20 is kinda out of the question.
So my question is: Is this architecture best to solve the problem? A UITableViewCell with a UIScrollView with paging as a subview? How did Apple do it in the App Store app?
I would guess that the screen you are talking about is not a TableView but in fact a ScrollView. The image preview is probably another scrollview in the main scrollview or a custom view implementation. I suggest you use a scrollview and for the preview section, have a look at Apple's PageControl sample code.
