iPhone-X - How to force user to swipe twice home indicator to go home-screen

Question

I\'m using the code below to hide the home indicator on iPhone X, which is working fine in the emulator.

-(BOOL)prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden
{
    return YES;
         


        

Answer 1

It is a choice between hidden and deferred but NOT both

-(BOOL)prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden
{
    // YES for hidden (but swipe activated)
    // NO for deferred (app gets priority gesture notification)
    return NO;  
}

register the gesture in viewDidLoad

UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer *sePanGesture = [[UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleGesture:)];
sePanGesture.edges = UIRectEdgeAll; 
// or just set the bottom if you prefer, top-right seems to behave well by default
[self.view addGestureRecognizer:sePanGesture]; 

and define the handleGesture, no need to do anything there for this to work

- (void)handleGesture:(UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
    // to get location where the first touch occurred from docs
    // CGPoint location = [recognizer locationInView:[recognizer.view superview]]; 

    NSLog(@"gestured");
}

should be it
