How to implement Split Screen Multitasking on iPad using Third party apps?

Question

I tried to implement the Multitasking feature Apple provided using AIR application, but I seem to miss something.

I did the following as apple recommended:

1. Compiled the app with iOS9 SDK.
2. All orientation implemented.
3. Storyboard added.

Still I do not see the vertical bar that divides the two app's for multitasking.

Let me know if you implemented this successfully in any third party apps?

Answer 1

Split screen wasn't working for me because even though I had a Storyboard, I wasn't using it. Make sure your Launch Screen File is set, and your Launch Images Source is blank.

Check off Portrait, Upside Down, Landscape Left, and Landscape Right under Deployment Info. Also make sure that Requires full screen is not checked off.

Finally you should double check that your Info.plist is correct. UIRequiresFullScreen should be NO. Supported interface orientations and Supported interface orientations (iPad) should have all 4 orientations.

Answer 2

All 3 listed steps are correct. Please also make sure Requires Full Screen is set to NO. It works perfectly for me.

Please let me know if you (or anyone else) still have trouble with Split View support.

Answer 3

What iPad are you using to test your app? Not all iPads support this behavior. This table shows which iPads support Slide Over, Picture in Picture and Split View:

Documentation from Apple for more information.

By the way how did you manage to use launch screen storyboard with Adobe AIR application?
