I am looking for anyone that can help create some source and a tutorial with me to answer how to create a transparent straight line on iphone camera.
Please , If anyone knows of a tutorial already then pls reply me.
If I understand you correctly, you want to have a live preview of the camera overlays by I more or less transparent line, right ?
Two solution come to my mind:
Build one view that gets the camera input via AvFoundation framework and build another - transparent - view that holds whatever elements you want to display on top of that.
Another solution would be to build one OpenGL view, use the camera input as texture for a background rectangle filling the whole screen and then render your other content on top of that.
If you are looking tutorial for camera overlay you can visit this. It has source code attached too. So you will find easy with that. But pls don't just copy paste try to understand the code when you have time.

I have created a simple Unity AR Foundation app which places objects on a plane whenever the screen is touched. I would like to add some UI so the user can press a button rather than anywhere on the screen.
I have followed several different tutorials which seem to be doing mostly the same thing. I right-click the Hierarchy -> UI -> Button. I have scaled it so it should fit my mobile screen and anchored it to the center so it should be easy enough to find.
These are the canvas settings:
Might the UI somehow be hidden behind the camera feed from the AR Session Origin -> AR Camera? Am I missing any steps to anchor the UI to the screen?
As you can probably tell, I am very new to Unity but I feel like I have followed the tutorials for creating a UI, but it simply won't show. If you need more information, please just ask and I will provide.
Not sure but sounds like you might need to have that Canvas Scalar to scale with the screen size. Change the UI scale mode to Scale with Screen Size.
I was compiling the wrong scene. I had two very similar scenes, so when I compiled I didn't realize there were no changes and that I was inspecting the entirely wrong scene.
Once I changed to the correct scene the setup above worked as expected.
I am creating an application in Swift, and I would like to make an introduction screen that shows off my logo. I want the logo to slam down on the screen, which will then cause a crack, and then that crack slowly grows. I think I can figure out slamming the logo down (by shrinking a UIView of my logo to a certain point), but I am having trouble deciding how to create the crack that will form from slapping down. Do I use views? I am lost.
This is the closest thing that I found to what I would like to do. Sadly, I do not have this software.

I have created a similar effect before. And to achieve the crack a created multiple images of a growing crack and created an array of images for that screen crack. All you have to do then is animate the images if the imageView.
The other way you can Handel this is to actually draw the crack your self by code which is not difficult really, because in reality it’s just lines and then animate them. But in my experience just using the first method gives a much nicer effect because the images you use can have tons of effects using PS or equivalent.
I would suggest to go with third party like lottie. In lottie files there some animation you except there, you can also message the designer to help out animation. Its very simple to use in swift.

Lottie animation are done in aftereffects using bodymoving extension and exported as json file to use in xcode.
I made an app following these instructions

And was great, but now,
Now, I want to draw in another view at the same time (when the move begin, the line has to be drawn in both views), but different size (without scaling the one i'm touching)
is that possible?
thank you
I would draw with OpenGL instead in that case, as you can add a larger view, and a camera which scrolls based on what the users actions are. You can find a great sample project to do this here. In order to find more stuff about the camera, and making a larger view, you can look here, or search in google for OpenGL iPhone tutorials. Hope that helps!
I've been looking at integrating the OpenFlow API developed by Alex Fajkowski: http://fajkowski.com/blog/2009/08/02/openflow-a-coverflow-api-replacement-for-the-iphone/ into an app I am working on.
Does anyone know how I can stack the images vertically so that I can scroll the images from top to bottom/bottom to top like a rolodex?
The default behaviour is for OpenFlow to stack the images horizontally and scroll the images from right to left/left to right just like CoverFlow. I've been trying to get my head around how 3D animation is done in Objective-C without much success...
Thank you for your help in advance.
The really easy thing to do is to rotate the whole view with something like this:
openFlowView.transform = (CGAffineTransform){0,1,-1,0,0,0};
You'll then have to un-rotate all the flowing views (or rotate the images, or whatever).
The better way is to fix OpenFlow, but without looking at its source code, it's not obvious what to change (mostly you should just need to swap "x" and "y").
In an application, i saw that they used to display pictures of vehicles. But what was amazing was when we touch and swipe in that picture, it rotates in 3d way left and right. And from the front view we can rotate and get to see its back view also. It is a very good feature and i was trying to replicate it. But couldnt get an idea of how and where to start. My doubts are
Whats the actual format of the thing, it surely isn't a picture.
How do they get to rotate it?
Could someone give me an idea where i should start or where I should look upon?
Just like the KennyTM told you, OpenGL-ES is the weapon of choice. Take pictures of that object from all the sides you need to show, then use those as textures for the faces of the cube. Got the idea?
