WWDC 2019 - iOS13 April 2020 requirement

Question

In the WWDC 2019 video Modernizing Your UI for iOS 13 , Apple mentions a requirement that by April 2020 all apps should

• Adopt Launch Storyboards
• Suppo

Answer 1

Split screen multitasking refers to the ability to have two apps open side-by-side on the iPad -- see Session 205 from WWDC2015 that talks about this. The requirement says that apps submitted after April 2020 must be able to run in this mode, that is, they must be able to work in layouts different than the standard fullscreen.

The two videos you linked are about multiple windows -- this is when your app can run multiple instances of itself side-by-side. This feature is not part of the new requirements.
