Image of my main screen
I'm building a timer app which sets the timer by scrolling it. The problem I'm facing is when the user tries to close the app on an iphone X, sometimes, they accidentally scroll the timer and them do in the background which sets a notification which the user didn't intended. I need suggestions on how to handle that.
What I'm thinking right now is to set a view at the bottom and make it transparent. Is there a better way ?

I'm working on adding universal links to my iOS app and I'm figuring things out but I'm a little lost on what to do when the app is not fully close, just running in the background.
when I debug through the app, it goes to WillContinueUserActivity then it goes to ContinueUserActivity which is fine and expected but I noticed in doing this that the previous screen the user was on is still visible during all of this, is that expected?
I'd prefer to have it seamlessly go to the desired screen and not have some jarring transition.
I think it is expected and by design. You can't make those previous screens invisible programmatically.
Universal links will make the app open the desired page as soon as possible.
I am working on electron app where i open a child window which i want to be above all the windows (not above fullscreen windows though), I managed to do it by using
win.setAlwaysOnTop(true, "screen-saver");
It now stays on top of all other open apps and keynote app presentation mode, i want user to be able to click buttons inside my window but now the issue is as soon as user clicks on button or just window in my child window, keynote window minimizes (as focus shifts to my window).
What i tried : I tried almost all available window option given in electron docs with different variations, I also tried playing with modals, but obviously modals stay in window itself, i want to keep main app minimized and keep child window on top of other apps. I also found electron-modal package, but that also behaves same.
working example
I was trying different application to check is any other application is able to do it, and i found that zoom app window (in screen share mode) is able to stay on top of keynote app and you can click buttons inside that app, you can move window, and keynote app keeps running in the background with no issues. I am trying to achieve exactly same behaviour.
This is something that you won't be able to recreate with electron currently, except through a native node module that manipulates your window related OS flags.
You can follow this issue on the Electron repository, since the flags introduced there should resolve your issue, or at least give you a point of entry to make your own PR or node_module.

I have a UWP app, that when it is launched from a secondary tile, I want to perform a task but not display a window.
By the time OnLaunched is called the window is already visible, and the best I can do is close the application. Is there any way to stop the window appearing in the first place?
I've been trying to create a proper Restart feature within my app, which doesn't work (Orientation is meshing up badly) so since this is a prototype I figure it will be easier if I just crash my app and the user taps again the icon.
Is there a way I could kill my application from code within 1-2 sec.?
Thank you!
You mean you want to quit your app when user taps on home button instead of going the app into background? If yes you can quit the app when user presses home button by adding a key into your info.plist file application does not run in background and set it's value to true. Here is the original key name UIKeySuspendOnExit I don't remember excatly but it should be like this. Find on google you will get easily.
I am working on an app for iOS 4.0. The app was originally on 2.2.1. I upgraded it to a universal app, but now it seems to be multitasking. When I press the menu button while running the app, instead of exiting it closes, but when I relaunch the app it resumes where I left off. I am assuming this is multitasking. I want it to exit, is there a way in the settings?
My guess is that the iPad target upgrade changed the plist somehow? Any thoughts?
Open your info.plist file
Add The Key UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend or Select Application does not run in background
Set the new key to YES or Fill in the tick box
That's not multitasking, that's Fast app switching which is now the default and is preferred in iOS 4.0.
If you disable it, that means you app has to be reloaded every time the user switches to it instead of allowing it to stay in memory. It will take longer to reload it each time.
It would be better if you implement applicationWillEnterForeground: and refresh your view rather than force the user to have to wait while your app reloads.
