launch

Alright, this title might seem strange, but bear with me. I have an app which can be set on its preferences by the user to launch at login. That means I can expect sometimes the app will be launched by the user (clicking on the Dock/Finder, etc), but some other times the app will be launched automatically by the system, on login. I would like to show a window when the app is launched by the user, but not when it is launched automatically (as I imagine that would be a pain for the user). How can I do that? Although it may depend on how you intend to automate the launch of the app, you could use

I'm currently concepting a feature for an app, where I'd like a general method/approach to detect if the app itself was started or resumed from ' outside ' the app. ' Outside ', in this case, means: app was started/resumed by the launcher icon app was started/resumed by pressing the 'app button' from a navigation bar/key (like on a nexus 7) app was started/resumed from a notification app was started/resumed from 'somewhere else' The use case for this feature is the following: The app has a 'multi-user-ability' that allows the user(s) to create one ore more profiles for his/her data A single

Any Idea what happened to the Setting's Custom URL Scheme on iOS 10? Is Apple still giving acess to third-pary apps to launch iOS Settings from the app via URL Scheme on iOS10? The Old URL scheme are not working anymore! None of the previous methods for launching the root "Settings" app on iOS 8+ were officially supported by Apple, so unfortunately we can't rely on them. It's also possible that apps that relied on the undocumented behaviors could be rejected during App Store review, even if others have been approved--even if the same app had been previously approved! I've been unable to
