I have a large app that I will need some time to optimize for iOS9.
Edit: What I am worried about is all the UI getting squeezed together when the app window size is reduced. So my question is, is there any way to force full screen for the app?
You have to modify your project to support multitasking. According to WWDC 2015 video, to adopt your app for multitasking, satisfy these requirements:
- Build your app with iOS 9 SDK
- Support all orientations
- Use Launch Storyboards
So, if any of this is not done yet, your app will not be able to support multitasking.
Of course, if you don't use size classes, put it at the top of the list.
Edit: according to you question edit. There is a UIRequiresFullScreen key in Info.plist. See more at Apple docs
To opt-out (disable) multi-tasking for your application:
Select your Target → General Section → Scroll Down and check Requires full screen
It gets applied to the plist's UIRequiresFullScreen key value.
Note: Apps are required to support all screen orientations if it supports multitasking. Otherwise, apps will get the following error on publishing:
Invalid Bundle. iPad Multitasking support requires these orientations: ...
To opt out of Slide Over and Split View, do so explicitly by adding the UIRequiresFullScreen key to your Xcode project’s Info.plist file and apply the Boolean value YES.
You can set above thing using General tab of Targets, Select Requires Full Screen check. Refer below image for the same
Note :
A user can disable Slide Over and Split View in Settings > General > Multitasking. If you think you’ve set up everything correctly and find that these features still don’t work, check this setting.
